Guestbook
- "I travel a lot with my job so I’ve become a bit spoilt as I get to stay in a lot of boutique hotels. Parc Vean, despite it’s beautiful, rustic location, was like a home from home. Cool, chic, yet totally laid-back. Wonderful.”
- “My wife and I love it here. If you’ve got kids, it’s a godsend. There’s so much for them to do! The nearby beach, the trampoline, the football nets, the fort - they never get bored. I just wish this place had existed when I was a kid.”

Tucked away in the remote Cornish hamlet of West Portholland, this quirky yet stylish three-bedroom 1930s bungalow is charming on the outside and candy-sweet on the inside, with its contemporary spin on 1950s interior design. A profusion of vividly coloured textiles and objets trouvés is perfectly offset by the sleek, neutral tones of the walls and the neat lines of the furniture. Cosy up in front of the open fire and have some good, old-fashioned fun: Parc Vean has board games galore, and the Etch-A-Sketch and vintage Ladybird books will transport you straight back to happy hols of yore. The flatscreen TV, iPod dock and free WiFi will satisfy higher-tech yearnings, or for a more wholesome high, pluck a pair of wellies from the boot rack outside and explore the delightful grounds. With plump ginger cows studding the surrounding hills, a babbling brook in the garden and a nearby sandy bay, this is every inch the textbook Cornish idyll.
