About the host
Hosted by Michelle Murphy and Mark Murphy
We are a family of 7 and love walking endlessly along the beaches and coastal paths which are plentiful and easy finds. The North coastal trail is a favorite walk of ours. The nearest beach is Porthtowan and at low tide is one and a half miled of soft golden sand. The Blue Bar sits on the beach as does the Unicorn and is appreciated after a summers day on the beach or a winters walk across the coastal paths. Truro itself houses a beautiful cathedral heaped in history and is stunningly lit in the evening which is one of our idyllic places to eat in the evening. We love the wateringhole at Perranporth and enjoy taking our dog for a lovely walk and ending up back in the bar for a hot chocolate on chillier days and something to eat. St Agnes Portreath and Chapelporth are sandy coves and tipped with history of the fishing and mining life. You can grab an icecream on those summer days or sit by the logburners on a winters evening, loving every moment whatever the season.
Why they chose this property
The Laurels is a quaint country cottage, near some of the most amazing beaches in the UK, they are plentiful with miles of sand. It is so centrally located for all the beaches being right in the heart of cornwall you can go South, North or East and pretty much get anywhere in 15 minutes (cornish time so the locals say). Beaches are dog friendly too as well as the pubs and restaurants. Plenty to do for the children from Newquay Zoo to the Cornish Farms. Three local stables with riding on the beach. Truro leisure centre is 7 miles away. Truro town centre is 7 miles all accessible by car or bus which stops almost directly outside the cottage.
The Laurels is warm and homely, clean and tidy. The back court yard is small and a slight extension of the kitchen for a barbeque night in. Or the front garden, enclosed and safe for children and pets. The kitchen is modern, clean and well equipped.

What makes this property unique
Beyond the front gate signed The Laurels, opens up into the front garden where you will find the chocolate box cottage that is heaped in character from the thick cornish walls to the original cornish range. Cosy nights in infront of the log burner after a meal at one of the local Restaurants that are heaped in history, or take a seat at the blue bar overlooking the sea at Porthtowan our go to beach providing excellent food and hospitality.
