4 Porthmeor Court, Downalong – Sleeps 6 – On-Site Parking

  • Just seconds from Porthmeor Beach, 4 Porthmeor Court is a comfortable cottage tucked away in the heart of Downalong.

Great Stay

This was a last minute booking as the property I'd booked fell through.The property is not the prettiest from the outside, could do with a tidy up (jet wash?) in the shared courtyard. But location is fabulous! We were able to walk from beach in wet suits and beaches, town, harbour is all right there.House itself was great, 3 floors with toilrts/bathrooms on each floor which was reslly handy with a gull house. House is nicely done up with everything you need. We loved the pictures apart from top Kingsize/twin room was a bit dark. Double room was really pretty.Kitchen had everything, we had to move crockery/pots around to make space for our food as no free cupboard for this. Minor, minor things though, overall we had a fantastic stay and would stay again. Walk in reinforced shower and tub/hangers for wetsuits was really handy. Washer/dryer worked well. A note about how to use heatingvwould have saved going through all the booklets.Thanks for a great stay, St. Ives we love you

On arrival parking was a nightmare unless you own a mini or a bike. We could not get into the small space provided as another car was in the space next to ours and it was impossible be warned. !!! The whole court looks dirty and all the properties need a good paint and a clean up all looks very run down. Our fridge stank to high heaven of fish the first thing we had to do was gut the fridge and clean everything but the smell was so bad we could not get rid of it The freezer was rubbish all our ice creams melted as it did not work. The downstairs shower had been used for washing dogs & when we used it the drain backflow filled up the shower tray with dirt and debris Very stingy on towels and loo rolls and welcome comforts Bare minimum for comfort no frills Shower upstairs was ok and powerful Beach close by Beds ok need new ones did not feel homely just felt like a place to stay car boot clothes rails for wardrobes Satisfactory I would say but expensive

Perfect location on The Island.

Great location a short stroll from the beach and into the harbour front. Narrow streets so best to leave car in car port. Clean and tidy with all the utilities you need. Lounge would be on the small side if six people were staying but was perfect for the four of us. It was nice to have two showers. Communication with management company was great and access via key box was seamless.
