Good location but house is shabby and is in need of some decorating and replacement.

House shabby not what we were expecting. Dirty sofa with stains on. Brown stuff stuck to floor. Very scratched flooring which needs revarnishing. Cobwebs all round house. Brown mark on carpet at top of stairs. Main bathroom Cracked bath. Wood panelling broken off in bathroom. Toilet seat loose. Dirty looking shower trim. Main bedroom unable to unlock window had to knock on door opposite where someone works for your company and they had to use a knife to open it. FIRE SAFETY HAZARD. Handle hanging of draw. shower leaked in ensuite as plastic trim too short and yellow. All walls marked around house. Back bedroom looks like it has damp marks on walls. Kitchen chips on plates. Yellow stained wooden spoon. Outside no chairs to sunbathe only picnic table which could do with some attention had what looked like some black stuff on. Fingerprints on inside of windows.

Porthia review

Firstly, Porthia is a well laid out, roomy property in a lovely location for exploring St Ives and the surrounding areas. The fact that it has a second parking space is also a huge bonus given the lack of parking spaces in Saltings Reach. On entering the property, our first impression was how dirty it was - the mirror to the left of the front door was so smeared that it was difficult to see anything in it, and the light flooding through the kitchen window only served to make the dust that covered the hallway floor more visible. Things were just as bad in the living and dining rooms, with what appeared to be baked bean juice on the dining table covering (the tablecloth was so dirty that when my wife wiped it with a clean cloth and some soapy water, she had to then throw the cloth away) and really bad stains on the living room settees (it looked as if a number of the previous occupiers had spilled food and drink on them). We also wondered why some of the cushions had been put back on the settees backwards, but when we turned them around we could see that it was because they were so heavily stained. There were marks on the walls and on the carpets, but I’m guessing that this is unavoidable at this time of the season; albeit that no attempt appears to have been made to remove them. When we checked upstairs we could see that none of the used bar soap from the previous occupiers had been removed from the soap dishes. In fact, very little attempt appeared to have been made to clean the bathrooms. The tiling in the shower areas was covered in mould, so the first thing we did was to buy some cleaning products and scrub this off the en-suite. The shower seals were so dirty that they’d turned orange, but we didn’t clean these for fear of damaging them. Also, the wc in the en-suite had what appeared to be a contact lens from a previous occupier stuck to the side of the pan. The whole property looked dreary - I know it’s a matter of the owner’s personal taste, but I would suggest that the property could be improved significantly if some of the soft furnishings and prints were thrown out and replaced with something a bit brighter - prints from places like Whistlefish aren’t expensive, but would make the property look much less gloomy.

A let down

Not at all like pics. No curtains - sun wakes u up at 530 in morning. I used card from supermarket to block sun. Whole house needed a better clean. Sofas need proper clean or replaced. Patio needed weeded n grass needed cut. Whole place suggested lazy owners doind minimum to get by. The list goes on. Dont book this one, there are many more rentals in same estate.

Good location

Porthia is in great location being in a quiet corner of the Saltings estate. Being in the corner with good parking and private as know one walks by also a five minute walk and you are by the estuary and within twenty minutes your on the lovely beach. You have the train station within ten minutes and the ride inti St Ives is beautiful. There are some lovely places to eat all within a ten minute walk. Porthia was lovely and clean and the service by Hideaways was excellent, l think that it could require just a little bit of TLC now, but still a lovely place to stay & relax.
