About this property

Enchanting 5* holiday home overlooking Porthcothan Bay, 600m from beach.

*** AS FEATURED IN CORNWALL LIFE ".. a beautifully restored farmhouse .. with a lovely atmosphere, space and light that makes the most of its prominent position .." ***

Our 20th year providing lifelong memories of happy times with family and friends.

Welcome to Porthcothan House, an enchanting Georgian farmhouse in a prime location on the north coast of Cornwall, mid-way between Watergate Bay and Padstow, overlooking Porthcothan Bay, 600m from the beach and a few minutes from the Coast Path, Trevose Golf Club and some of the finest beaches, gardens and restaurants in Cornwall. Lovingly restored and modernised the house is extremely comfortable and well equipped, spacious, light, full of character and has a wonderful atmosphere and views - perfect for a really special holiday at any time of year.

Relax in a blissful Savoir No2 Bed - the original 'Savoy Bed' - and absorb the view of the valley and coast as you ponder the big decisions of the day: do you surf at Constantine, walk some spectacular coastline, play golf or tennis at Trevose, have cream tea at Bedruthan Steps, a treat at Rick Stein’s, Number 6 or Nathan Outlaw's. Or do you simply stroll down for a peaceful day on Porthcothan Beach .. paddling in the sea .. and wiggling your toes in warm sand.

For a wonderful holiday, celebration or relaxing short break – with all your family .. and friends .. or just for two.

Our new favourite place
A truly beautiful house in a perfect location. The house is a perfect blend of old and new, with plenty of period features sensitively preserved alongside all the modern creature comforts. Very well equipped kitchen with a huge Aga at its heart, opening into the great family dining room, which then opens into the pretty well maintained walled garden, you hardly need the other three beautifully furnished reception rooms! We all enjoyed our stay immensely and the owner was very responsive and super helpful at all times. Thank you - we’ll be back next year!

Perfect house
This was the perfect property for a relaxing holiday with an extended family group. It is exceptionally well equipped and very comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. The location is great with fantastic views. Only short work walk to Porthcothan beach and a short drive to Padstow and other lovely beaches. Tim, the owner could not have been more helpful and welcoming.

Beautiful house, stunning scenery, great host!
Wow what a fantastic week we've just had! The house is just as beautiful as in the photos and easily housed all three generations of our family. The beds are super comfortable, lots of bathrooms and we even learned to cook on an Aga! Tim was a wonderful host, very welcoming and thoughtful. Thank you for a lovely week and for arranging the sunshine too :)

Why they chose this property

Instantly fell for the wonderful proportions, light and atmosphere of the house, its position and views and the sound of sea waves on the shore - despite its sad condition after 70 years of neglect.

What makes this property unique

Faithfully restored and modernised over 6 years to its true wonder for all to celebrate, enjoy and remember on special family occasions. Guests often comment on the light, space and wonderful atmosphere of the house and feel instantly at home. Others love the views, walks, local beaches and waking to the sound of the sea. Others still do so much we wonder if they relax at all; yet they keep coming back - for what will be their 9th year!
