Do you follow Lucy Claire Illustration? I love her illustrations celebrating everything we love & this one is celebrating the “ber” months - September, October, November & December… the “BER” months are here! 🥰

And while summer might be coming to an end, I think Cornwall is only just getting started.

September brings warm seas, quieter beaches and that lovely feeling that summer is still hanging on. ☀️

October brings autumn colours, crisp coastal walks and some of the most beautiful sunsets. 🍂🌅

November is when the Atlantic starts to show us what it’s made of — big waves, wild walks and cosy pubs. 🌊🔥

And then there’s December… Christmas lights, festive cheer, winter walks and coming back to Penty Myghal to light the wood burner and get cosy. 🎄🔥

So don’t put Cornwall away with your summer clothes!

Which of the “BER” months would you choose for your next Cornish escape? 🩵

September 🌊
October 🍂
November 🌧️
December 🎄

And if you fancy experiencing the “BER” months for yourself, Penty Myghal still has some availability. 🏡

🧽 Sometimes a changeover is all about cleaning, plumping cushions & getting our lovely cottage ready to welcome new guests…

…and sometimes it’s a quick bit of maintenance you weren’t expecting! 😂🔧

There’s always something to do behind the scenes at Penty Myghal, and not all of it is quite as glamorous as fresh flowers, fluffy towels and beautifully made beds!

But whatever the job, it’s all part of making sure that when you arrive, everything is just as it should be. 🩵

Today’s unexpected job was bubbled & flaking paint above the shower in the bathroom 🚿

All sorted and ready for our next guests! 🏡✨

🩵 Some lovely words from last week’s guests…

I always love hearing what guests think of Penty Myghal, but this review from last week really did make me smile.

They’ve been visiting Porthleven and the surrounding area for years, but apparently they’ve finally discovered their favourite place to stay! 🥰

They loved the cottage, the beds, having two bathrooms, the terrace, the location and — always a bonus in Porthleven — the parking space!

And the best bit…

They’re hoping to come back next summer! 🥰

It’s incredibly special when guests choose to return, particularly when there are so many wonderful places to stay in Cornwall.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback — and I’ll be keeping everything crossed that I can squeeze you in next summer! 🩵

If you’ve stayed at Penty Myghal and haven’t left a review yet, I’d be so grateful if you could — every review, recommendation, comment and share makes such a difference to my little independent business. 🏡🩵

Love Mel x

Popped into Lindy Lou Gifts on Friday & bumped into Paul who creates these charity poo bag holders - they cost £6 each and every penny is divided between the Porthleven Moors children’s park (opposite Penty Myghal) and childrenshospicesw - so now Head of Marketing and his cousin both have personalised poo bag holders 🐾

🎉 1,000 FOLLOWERS! 🎉

We did it! 1,000 followers! 🥂🩵

When I started sharing Penty Myghal, I honestly never imagined that 1,000 people would choose to follow along with my little corner of Cornwall.

Thank you to everyone who follows, likes, comments, shares my posts, recommends Penty Myghal to friends and family, books a stay or simply enjoys seeing a little bit of Porthleven pop up in your feed. 🥰

I love sharing not just the cottage, but all the things that make me love this part of Cornwall — the beaches, walks, food, hidden corners, days out, local businesses, sunsets, storms, sea swims… and of course the occasional appearance from the Head of Marketing! 🐾😂

And because I run Penty Myghal independently, every single interaction really does make a difference. There are no big booking sites or marketing teams behind me — just me, my cottage and my love of Porthleven. 🩵

So thank you for being here and coming along for the journey.

Here’s to the next 1,000! 🥂🌊🏡

“But I’ve got no annual leave left!” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well… do you know you can still have a proper little Cornish escape? 🩵

Yes, Penty Myghal has a 3-night minimum stay, but you can arrive from 4pm on Friday and stay as late as you like on Sunday – so you can squeeze in a whole weekend away without taking a single day off work.

Imagine…

🍻 Friday evening – arrive, unpack and head straight to the Ship Inn for a drink and something to eat.

🌊 Saturday – a leisurely day exploring the Lizard, discovering beautiful beaches, coastal walks and perhaps a Cornish ice cream or two.

🍽️ Sunday – no rushing around. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at Amélie’s, wander around the harbour and then head home feeling like you’ve actually had a proper holiday.

Three nights, two full days of exploring and no annual leave required!

And with 3-night breaks from just £351 – that’s only £29.25 per person, per night when four people share. 🩵

Sometimes you don’t need a week off to get away… you just need a Friday afternoon and a little bit of Cornwall. 🏡🌊🐾

It’s International Dog Day 🐾

I couldn’t let that pass without sharing a photo of Head of Marketing could I?

Here he is doing a very reasonable kangaroo impression while enjoying the shade recently 🦘

Does your pet do impressions? Or do you just have a really cute photo so that we can fill our page with dog love today? Share away in the comments 🐾😻

🚶‍♀️ “How far is it to the harbour?”

It’s probably one of the questions I’m asked most often, and the answer is about 100 yards – roughly a 2-minute walk from Penty Myghal. 🩵

But rather than just telling you, I thought I’d show you!

I’ve walked from the Harbour Head to the patio at Penty Myghal and put together a little speeded-up video so you can see exactly how close we are.

A couple of minutes is all it takes to go from your home from home to the harbour, with Porthleven’s cafés, pubs, restaurants & shops all waiting to be explored. 🏡🌊🩵

🐾 A question from the Head of Marketing… 🐾

As some of you know, I’m originally from the Middle East, so technically I’m a desert dog. You’d think that would make me a big fan of hot summer holidays, wouldn’t you? ☀️

Well… I’m not entirely sure.

I do enjoy a sunny day at the beach, especially when there’s plenty of sand to lie on and lots of interesting smells to investigate. 🏖️

But I also rather enjoy my winter walks along the coast path, when the beaches are quieter, the temperatures are cooler and there’s plenty of exciting weather to sniff out. 🌊🍂

So I’ve decided I need to know…

Which do you prefer?

☀️ Summer holidays – sunshine, beaches & long evenings

🌊 Winter holidays – big waves, empty beaches & cosy pubs

I’m not sure which team I’m on yet, so I’ll be reading the comments very carefully!

Love Head of Marketing 🐕

Although, if there are treats involved, I’m available for holidays in every season. 🐾

📸 I know I’m a little late… but apparently it was World Photography Day! 😂

So I thought I’d take the opportunity to share one of my favourite photos that I’ve taken — Loe Pool on a frosty winter morning. ❄️💙

It’s amazing how different Cornwall can look from season to season, and I love capturing those quieter moments when I’m out exploring.

But enough about my photos…

I’d love to see yours! 📷

Whether it’s your favourite view of Cornwall, somewhere you’ve discovered on holiday, a beautiful sunset, your four-legged friend enjoying an adventure or simply a photo that makes you smile, pop it in the comments below.

Let’s see Cornwall through your eyes. 🩵
