Perfect beach holiday location without the crowds. We love Portholland and wished we had found it when our children were small. Its a perfect spot for kids and dogs and you really can park the car up and not use it all week. Take plenty of provisions with you as there aren't any shops (well there is a tiny shop but it really is quite small) but the cottage is well equipped with a freezer and everything you could possibly need.
The location of the cottage, in front of a duck pond, is quite enchanting and I guarantee if you have children you won't be disappointed. We have just returned from a wonderful week there but really missed not having our grandchildren
with us. Still I am sure there will be another visit before long.
! AMAZING FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL HOSTS !

We had an amazing week in this wonderfully dog friendly cottage - recently re-furbished to a high standard, spotlessly clean, comfy beds and the Kitchen had everything you would possibly need during your stay. The front garden is enclosed which is perfect to keep you fur babies safe. This cottage is set in the one of the most idyllic and relaxing locations I have ever visited - 50 metres from an amazing dog friendly beach which my two working cocker spaniels & dachshund thought was 'doggy heaven'!! The owners Jo & Kris were very friendly & helpful, we very much appreciated the flowers, biscuits, prosecco & fresh eggs from their lovely hens. We will be returning to visit this 'little gem' - perfect!
Recently refurbished to a high standard, very cosy and comfortable. We had a fantastic week, the cottage is set in a perfect location. We had a great time exploring the beaches and coast line with our furbaby, and we all slept soundly - perfect!
The little touches were nice upon arrival, and much appreciated after a long drive; milk, teabags, biscuits, bubbly, fresh flowers and eggs from the hens in the garden.
We have very fond memories of Pond Meadow and hope to return, it was everything we hoped for and more!!
We had the most wonderful week at Pond Meadow Cottage, it had just been refurbished with a fantastic new kitchen, bathroom and furniture - it really is very well done.
Yes it is a "cosy" cottage but we fitted in well with our two large teenagers and Bob the border collie, there was room for the 4 of us to watch TV comfortably and the living area has been well designed to make the most of the space. The kitchen was extremely well equipped (even had insulated mugs to take down to the beach - nice touch) and the beds were the most comfortable ones I have ever had in holiday accommodation - we slept extremely well with just the noise of the babbling brook at the end of the garden and the crashing of the waves.
The cottage is warm and very comfortable and a lovely base to come back to at the end of a long day of walking.
The area is just lovely, very unspoilt with amazing walks right from the door of the cottage and great dog friendly beaches in every cove. It was great to be able to tumble out of bed in a morning and take the dog on a lead free ramble along the coastal path and a bit of ball throwing on the beach.
I would highly recommend Pond Meadow Cottage - we had such a good time and it really is a home from home (although it is rather nicer than my home!)

This cottage really is fabulous, the owners have gone to a lot of trouble to think of everything you may need. Wonderful comfortable beds, well equipped, dishwasher, washer drier etc,. Netflix & Amazon prime on the TV, kept the teenagers entertained. Only things I would say bit of a squash around the table for 2 adults & 2 teenagers, but 2 of us ate with the food on our laps, not a problem for us. Also the TV is at an angle to the seating, bit tricky for everyone to see. But these are just slight niggles & over all I would highly recommend this cottage. The area is lovely, very quiet, super sandy dog friendly beach. Apart from a small cafe/gift shop there is nothing else in Portholland, so not for those expecting your normal Cornish seaside resort! Perfect for us. Easy to reach Truro or St. Austell by car if you want something more, once you've negotiated a couple of miles of narrow roads.
