About this property
An ‘up-side down’ holiday home just 15 minutes’ walk to a golden, sandy beach.
Sunfish is a spacious and light ‘up-side down' holiday home, located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and less than a ten-minute walk from the golden and sandy beach of Porthtowan.
With stunning views over the hill to Porthtowan and out to sea, Sunfish is the perfect place to relax after long days exploring the Cornish coastline. Attractively decorate throughout, with a spacious open-plan living area for everyone to enjoy. The well-equipped kitchen comes with everything holiday makers need to cook up a home-made feast and the handy dishwasher makes cleaning up a breeze. Enjoy your scrumptious supper around the dining table and after clear the table and host a family game night, or move over to the comfortable sofas, get cosy and enjoy a movie.
The three bedrooms are found on the ground floor and consist of one king-size room, one double room and one twin room; all are serviced by the shower room and the family bathroom with a shower over bath, wash basin and WC. There is also a snug room on the ground floor with comfortable seating, a television and doors which lead out to the enclosed rear garden. The garden has a lovely decked area with furniture, which is perfect for hosting evening summer barbecues.
Sunfish is the ideal holiday home for families and friends looking for a beach or walking holiday in the heart of Cornwall. Take the short walk down to the village of Porthtowan where you will find the lovely Blue Flag beach with cafes, shops and rolling surf.
Additional Information:
Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
Sofa bed available on request or for parties of 7 and more (small additional charge).
Cot and highchair available on request.
