Guest Comments

We were so looking forward to staying at the Mackerel Loft. On the website it looked so good but when we arrived it actually exceeded our expectations. The location is brilliant, the accommodation was spacious, nicely decorated, well equipped, very comfortable and a delight to stay in. We were so blown away with it that we booked for next year the day after we arrived.

Martin - July 2025

Another great break, booked last minute, in our home from home. It was our first stay in Mackerel Loft, which was bigger than we expected, but still cosy, as well as being well equipped and in the heart of Porthleven, we will definitely stay again in this property. See you at the end of May!

Sara - April 2025

Our second stay using Mounts Bay Holidays. Both times we have been very impressed with the high standard of accommodation and the very helpful service. The position of Mackerel Loft with the window looking right over the inner harbour is brilliant. The designated parking right outside was a huge plus and the very short walk to shops and restuarants meant we rarely used the car within Porthleven. Plotting our return already!

Anne and Tim - May 2024
