A 5 bedroom cottage with stunning coastal and beach views. Sky TV, BT Infinity 30MB Wi-Fi, Log burner, 4 bath/shower rooms; three of them ensuites. Beach Cottage sits 300m from the Blue Flag beach in Porthtowan, a small seaside village with a 1 mile sandy beach, framed by National Trust protected coastline and served by RNLI Lifeguards. The views from Beach Cottage are wonderful, over the beach and down the coast to St.Ives. Learn to surf at the legendary Tris Surf or enjoy body-boarding. On the beach is the 'Blue Bar', a Good Pub Guide pub with great food. Nearby Chapel Porth National Trust café is home to the world famous HedgeHog ice cream. Walkers take the SW coastal path from the end of the garden. Super location, 8 minutes drive from A30, central to most of Cornwall's attractions.

This was our second visit, it's a great space for a large group, clean, tidy and comfortable with plenty of bathrooms.The views are spectacular, but it would be great if the hedge was cut so you can see the views from the living room and terrace.

On our arrival we found the property was not fit to be occupied. It was undergoing re-decoration. It was a late booking and owner had not been advised of our booking. We were left struggling to find somewhere to stay for the at 4:30pm on a Friday night!

Fantastic location, plenty of parking, everything you need (home from home) However the property is tired and needs some tlc. The garden is overgrown and the hedges are unkept which obstruct the sea views. Overall I would definitely recommend the property.

About the host

Host profile image

We are a family with Cornish roots who love Porthtowan. We bought the Beach Cottage for the stunning views over the beach and coastline beyond. We furnished the house to a high standard with 1 to 2 families in mind, so you can have a relaxing holiday in Cornwall.

Why they chose this property

Porthtowan is a hidden gem. One of only 10 Blue Flag beaches in Cornwall with lifeguards during the season. There are two pubs and two cafes close to the beach. You may not want to leave Porthtowan, the good news is that the village is 8 minutes from the A30 so a great base to explore Cornwalls attractions.

The BBC including Porthtowan in an article about “10 beautiful places to visit in the UK” though still very much a “hidden gem”

https://www.bbc.co.uk/webarchive/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fblogs%2Fnatureuk%2Fentries%2F700099b8-d90e-4c5c-b139-ee113a0f0ff1

What makes this property unique

We are located on the end of a small group of houses with a stunning view of Porthtowan beach and the North Cornwall coast down to St Ives
