About this property

Porth Cottage

Introducing Porth Cottage- a property that is packed with Cornish charm and is estimated to be over 300 years old. As you walk in through the traditional cottage doorway into the lounge, you’ll notice the sea themed décor and gorgeous wooden beams. Guests can sink into the comfy sofas in the main lounge with underfloor heating, or continue into the den, to snuggle in the armchair by the electric log effect fireplace.



Porth Cottage sleeps up to 4 guests in two sea and beach themed bedrooms- a double and twin room, both with chunky wood furniture and pitched ceilings. A family bathroom with grey retro tiling offers shower, WC, hand basin, and heated towel rail.



Meals can be taken around a farmhouse table, or outside in the courtyard garden fringed by Cornish palms and shrubbery. The cottage kitchen boasts all modern appliances such as electric hob and oven, microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge/freezer. Porth Cottage conveniently has a washer and dryer located in the utility room, fantastic for cleaning down after a day at the beach. A second WC can be found located on the ground floor.



Porth Beach is only a two-minute walk from the property- it offers a fantastic beach for swimming, and easy access to the Cornish Coastal Footpath. The Mermaid Pub is nestled at the back of the beach, as well as Estrella Morada tapas bar. The cottage has a large parking space, which can accommodate two cars. Porth is a perfect location for day trips into the centre of Newquay, the surfing capitol of the UK, or for venturing further up the coast to visit the foodie heart of Cornwall- Padstow.



The property is just a short distance from Newquay Airport in Cornwall, which now offers direct flights to Southend, Gatwick, Manchester and more - making weekend or short breaks to Cornwall even easier.



Whether you are looking for a family week in the Cornish sunshine, or a storm watching weekend away in the Winter, Porth Cottage provides a perfect base and tranquil retreat. Its quintessential Cornish décor conveys cosiness, charm and a rustic comfort you’ll fall in love with. The fully enclosed courtyard is ideal for visiting with one well-behaved dog (for a small fee), it's just asked that they are kept downstairs and off the furniture.

We loved your Cottage.

Beautifully decorated and had everything we wanted for the week. Cottage was so unique to us as we’re from Melbourne Australia, and not many places look like this. Newquay was a good starting point to set out our travels each day. Thank you again.. Flowers and shortbread were lovely…

We have had an incredible eight nights here

We have had an incredible eight nights here. The weather has been fantastic and being so close to the Beach was perfect for our three year-old and us too. Many happy memories made as a family, to which Porth cottage certainly contributed. Spacious, homely and everything you need. Already booked for next year.

The Cottage is a wonderful cottage to stay in

The Cottage is a wonderful cottage to stay in. Location to the beach is brilliant, we visited it every day with the dog - she had a blast. The cottage has everything you need - although a guide book would be useful. Bed very comfortable!

Had the most amazing stay here

Had the most amazing stay here. Porth Cottage is a VIBE! Cosy, comfortable, immaculate and the bedding smells absolutely blissful! Well equipped and toasty to come back to after a wet and wild coastal walk! I lived up the road as a kid and staying so close to where I grew up was so lovely! Loved the little quirky bits in your home. It was a delight staying here. So much so, I don’t want to go home!
