Pond Cottage - Porthallow

A beautiful place to spend our wedding anniversary. Thank you for your welcome gifts. - Via in-property guestbook

Many thanks for granting us landing permission for a week. Wonderful stay – fabulous wildlife with owls on walk to Porthallow Cove in the evening. Wave Café and walks to Coverack great and Helford Crossing and Frenchman’s Creek great. Helford pub (Shipwrights Arms) closed at present so Ferry Boat Inn on the ferry best or cross on ferry and coastal walk through Mawnan Smith. Thanks again for a fantastic holiday ( our 4th time here). We think of this place as our bit of luxury and indulgence – lovely. - Via in-property guestbook

We’ve had a splendid 2 week holiday – Pond Cottage is very well equipped. The view, garden and pond add to all the beauty. Thank you for making us so welcome. - Via in-property guestbook

Fantastic cottage in a fantastic setting with great hosts. Great base to explore the Lizard and an ideal place to return each evening thanks to the owners attention to detail.

Wow! What a fantastic place to chill out after our daughter’s wonderful wedding. The location is stunning and cottage so homely. couldn’t have been better hosts – so welcoming and helpful throughout the week. The scones and fudge were a lovely touch too! Places worth visiting:- Kynance Cove, Lizard, Coverack. Great walks with stunning views along the coastal walks. - Via in-property guestbook

Returning after 2 years was great, the grounds got even better! It is a lovely location with very nice and caring hosts. Useful hints and information about history and culture of the area beyond tourist information enabled us to explore and discover places and stories never experienced before. Thank you for the wonderful time. - Via in-property guestbook

What immense luck we had – among so many cottages in Cornwall we’ve found just this one! We enjoyed everything: home made scones, the friendly and interesting instructions in the house, technology and tips for the surroundings. The cottage with its affectionate details, the delicious Roskilly fudge, the wonderful garden with the unique view at the cove, the kind duck Daphne and her friends …. We felt like in the paradise and will often still think back at this peaceful place. Our many thanks for your affectionate attention. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you fro your warm welcome and the very well equipped cottage. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home. The cream tea and little touches all added to the wonderful week we have had, even the weather was kind to us. Hope to see you soon. - Via in-property guestbook

Lovely holiday, enjoyed feeding Daphne the duck and the birds. Cottage is in a lovely location, views are perfect, thank you for a lovely welcome. Scones were very enjoyable and very more-ish!! Hope to see you soon. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you very much for your warm welcome and hospitality. Pond Cottage and surroundings are beautiful and we loved all the little treats, we felt quite spoilt! Thank you also for your care and concern over Bryan’s health scare, it was much appreciated. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you so much for making our stay so memorable! We love the cottage and the location, and appreciated all your recommendations, particular highlights were Kynance Cove and the walk to The Lizard (with the fantastic meringues in the café), and Helford. Thanks again. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you so much for a lovely week’s holiday in your beautiful cottage. Everything has been perfect including the weather which has been spectacular. We’ve enjoyed touring the peninsula and visit some of the lovely villages all around. Thank you for all the really helpful tips on travel, etc and for looking after us so well! PS the scones were superb! - Via in-property guestbook

Lovely cottage. We have had a lovely week. The cottage views are beautiful. You are extremely helpful and go that extra mile. Many thanks. - Via in-property guestbook

We enjoyed every moment of our stay in Pond Cottage. Thank you for the warmth of your welcome. We hope to be back in the not too distant future! - Via in-property guestbook

Wonderful, wonderful. Beautiful cottage. Lovely area. Hope to return soon. Thank you for all your tips. - Via in-property guestbook

What a fabulous cottage and location. Many thanks for such a warm welcome and the goodies. We have had a great week – walking everyday and seeing lots of wildlife including bottle nose dolphins on two occasions! We can recommend the Greenhouse in St Keverne and also the Five Pilchards in Porthallow. We hope to be back in the near future. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you both for a very enjoyable stay. Pond Cottage has been an ideal base for exploring this part of Cornwall. The walk from Helston to Loe Bar was lovely. If you have time drop off the planet and visit Tresco. A memorable trip. - Via in-property guestbook

Again we have enjoyed our week here. After staying in Stable Cottage last year we didn’t think anything could match it. You have proved us wrong. Pond Cottage was a lovely place to come back to at the end of each day. We were spoilt with the scones, I love them! The weather was kind to us again too so we were able to get out every day. Falmouth is definitely worth visiting, as is Roskilly’s dairy farm. The ice cream is lovely. Needless to say, we will be back again next year. Now we just have to decide which property! - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you very much for a wonderful stay, your cottage is beautiful and a credit to you both, we were happy to go for our walks and return to cosy evenings in our ‘temporary’ home. - Via in-property guestbook

Our second visit to Pond Cottage and its still as wonderful as ever, the gardens even more picturesque. Thank you so much for everything, wishing you continued success – you thoroughly deserve it. - Via in-property guestbook

Thanks for a fantastic stay and your wonderful hospitality – scones and cake and St Mary’s METAR and TAF! We hope to return to explore more of the area. - Via in-property guestbook

Pond Cottage is just perfect, set in a beautiful garden. Great welcome, lovely scones, wonderful week. - Via in-property guestbook

A lovely holiday in a beautiful cottage with wonderful gardens (and Daphne the duck). A shame about the weather but it hasn’t put us off. We will see you next year all being well. Thank you for your very welcoming hospitality, we have felt very much ‘at home’ and we are looking forward to 2011 already. - Via in-property guestbook

Just beautiful.

Thank you for making our week on The Lizard so memorable. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time in Pond Cottage, from the wonderfully warm welcome, through to all the good advice about places to go and things to do. We don’t want to go home! Have a great season and enjoy your own well-earned holiday! - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you for this little bit of heaven. Thank you again for a great stay. Some great snorkelling at Kennack Sands area – jellyfish, crabs, sea snails and lost track of the numbers of different fish. White Hart Hotel, St Keverne very good. Plenty of orange and red flowers which tied in nicely for the World Cup final – Holland Orange and Spain = Red. Many thanks again, God bless. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you – Cottage is perfect so quiet and peaceful. Its like another world sitting in the garden watching the boats pass. Thank you for your warm welcome. - Via in-property guestbook

We had a wonderful time at Pond Cottage. The weather was superb all week lovely place to “kick back” and relax. The views and cottage are the best we have had in 20 yrs of coming to Cornwall. Cannot wait to return. - Via in-property guestbook

Pond Cottage is by far the best accomodation we have stayed in since coming to cornwall, the attention to detail is second to none. The pictures dont do the cottage justice, just the place to relax in the wonderful rural setting, overlooking the valley down to the sea, with views across to Falmouth, we have spent most evenings at the cottage just watching the plentiful wildlife, there are a couple of owls nesting in the grounds. The Five Pilchard pub is within walking distance and is recommended for its food and real ales

Well, we just had to return after such a memorable holiday last year, and of course the welcome was as warm as ever. Pond Cottage has survived a year of use without any signs of wear and tear, and the surroundings are developing into a very beautiful garden. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you for the warm welcome you gave us on this our return visit. We have enjoyed our stay in Pond Cottage and love the alterations to the garden. Well done you have worked hard and made it look even more attractive than when we were here before. We wish you continued success in the future. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you for a lovely week and letting us share your beautiful cottage and gardens. - Via in-property guestbook

A wonderful retreat set in idyllic countryside. Thank you for a relaxing holiday. Perfect! Can’t wait to come again. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place with us. It’s just what we needed at just the right time. Many thanks. - Via in-property guestbook

A week that exceeded expectations. There was nothing that can be criticised. Indeed, the official description hardly does Pond Cottage justice. The merits of the cottage are undeniably augmented by your welcome and hospitality during our stay. We look forward to our return in the near future! Thank you again. - Via in-property guestbook

Wonderful week in delightful cottage which has everything we need. Congratulations for providing this beautiful place and garden. Thank for all your thoughtfulness and kindness this week – delicious cream tea – lovely surprise. Will tell our friends about this hideaway – but not too many! - Via in-property guestbook

28/09/2009 - Pond Cottage, Porthallow

Clean, well maintained cottage with great views and welcoming owners. Welcome cream tea; a really nice touch.

Have stayed in a number of cottages over the years; Pond Cottage far outweighs them all. Tastefully decorated and furnished, with immaculate gardens and superb views and the wonderfully thoughtful “welcome” gesture of cream tea and vase of flowers. Will recommend your cottage and hope to return. - Via in-property guestbook

Excellent cottage, excellent hospitality, will return - Via in-property guestbook

This part of Cornwall is new to us, and Pond Cottage is the perfect base. We cannot fault it. The weather during our stay has been beautiful and we have visited some of the National Trust properties and gardens in the areas as well as villages and coves, etc. The passenger ferry from Helford village to Helford Passage we highly recommend as a way of visiting Trebah Gardens. We look forward to returning. - Via in-property guestbook

We have had a marvellous week in this beautiful, peaceful and unspoilt part of Cornwall. Many thanksfor friendliness, welcome and good advice. The cottage is superb. The gems for us were Kynance Cove, the walk on the coastal path north of Porthleven where we saw two pairs of Cornish Choughs. But all the little bays and harbours were all that we had hoped for. - Via in-property guestbook

A little piece of heaven. Kynance Cove spectacular – wild asparagus and unusual form of juniper. Our fourth wedding anniversary – barbequed skate from Cadgwith (daily 3-6 pm) and delicious lemon sole. Thank you for a very relaxing stay! - Via in-property guestbook

We were so excited about the nice cottage, the warm welcome with clotted cream and the meal details. Most of all we liked the garden, the view and the calm landscape especially coming from a busy town. But the best of all was your warm hearted friendly way to give a helping hand and advice. We like to come back as soon as possible. - Via in-property guestbook

From the minute we first arrived we were over the moon with Pond Cottage, very comfortable with all “mod cons” and especially the landscape gardens with a fantastic view to Porthallow. We enjoyed several walks which took in a good proportion of the coastal path around The Lizard. One of the most enjoyable being Mullion village – to Polurrian Cove – Mullion Cove – Predannack Head – inland route back to Mullion village. - Via in-property guestbook

What a difference staying for a fortnight makes – and your wonderful cottage in such a beautiful location has really made the difference for us. Thank you for everything we have had a fantastic time. - Via in-property guestbook

What more can we say - Absolutely fabulous in every way Thank you so much for everything Every success in the future - Via in-property guestbook

Back for a second visit – once again a lovely welcome. As usual the cottage was immaculate and this year the weather has been perfect – sunshine every day. - Via in-property guestbook

Fabulous stay – the walk from St Anthony to Helford Shipwrights Arms very colourful this year with bluebells. Café in Coverack (The Wave) very good. Local pub here very good. Thanks again - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you for all your kindness and thoughtful provision in this lovely cottage (mattress included!) It’s all contributed to a memorable and refreshing week. - Via in-property guestbook

Thank you for this beautiful cottage, your nice welcome snack and your good tips and trips. We enjoyed our stay and we’ll come back. - Via in-property guestbook

This is certainly one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and we have thoroughly enjoyed our week. The walking along the Coastal Path is wonderful especially from Mullion to Loe Bar. We recommend the Greenhouse at St Keverne for a special meal: unusual menu, good prices, and a pleasant owner. Thanks for making the cottage so welcoming. - Via in-property guestbook
