The property is in a lovely location with breathtaking views of the Cornish Coastline. The walk down to the beach was not too difficult, once we had decided which of the three routes was best. We had a 17 seater mini bus with us and I managed to turn this around using the three parking bays, but would not be easy if we had three vehicles with us all at the same time. Communication with the owner was great and considering we had 10 people in the property, it has more than enough space not to feel claustrophobic. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very good (brighter lighting in the bathrooms), although some of the bedrooms do need some hanging spaces and drawers. The property, however, does need to some TLC. Parts of the kitchen need some repairs, but was equipped with everything that we needed for the stay. The outdoor decking area was brilliant for sitting out in the evening although some the chairs on the decking were replaced during our stay as two were broken when we arrived. The BBQ also needs replacing as this was damaged and beyond use. Although, the views make up for the bits that needed the TLC. The sunsets from the terrace overlooking the sea were memorable. The property is in a great location for some of the younger members who used Porthtowan for surfing, plus the adults who braved the waves. The cliff paths were very close to the property, so definitely recommend a walk to Chapel Porth either along the Cliff path or along the beach if the tide is out.

Beautiful holiday home

Spacious & exceptionally clean holiday home. Very well equiped. We had 4 adults, 1 teenager, 3 children, a baby & 3 cars. Plenty of bathrooms & space for everyone. Stunning views. The perfect beach a short walk down with rock pools, mermaid pool & sea caves to explore. Shops & restaurants by the beach, caters for all your needs. A wonderful 4 days with my family.

Birthday celebrations

We had a lovely family get together, celebrating my sister’s Birthday. Great location! Property was perfect. With Beautiful views. Good size rooms. Well equipped facilities.Photos on site don’t do it justice! Property is much bigger. Check in/ out times could be a bit more family friendly. But understand due to size of the property. Wished we could have stayed longer.

Stay at the beach cottage

Property and location are great. Host is friendly and responsive. Helped us resolve issue with the WiFi and heating we had on our first day. Can treck down from the cottage to the beach via hillside pathways. Cottage has a a handy outdoor tap and also a BBQ area in the rear. Views from the property are awesome. Overall, a great experience and would definitely recommend if you plan on visiting Cornwall with friends or family.

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.

Great spot

Loved the location. Beach and cliff walks right on your doorstep. Had everything I needed. Kettle was a bit hit and miss and the sky had no signal however that didn’t ruin my stay. As expected with a holiday rental a lot of wear and tare through disregard from previous guests. Very warm place with fabulous views of the countryside and beach below. All recommended beaches are within an hour of the property . St Agnes is a great view point which is only 10 mins away. A local shop is a few metres walk away and they are very friendly. Major supermarkets about 20 mins away but getting a delivery was well worth it. Would definitely come again. The dogs loved it and was a great birthday vacation.

Beautiful sunset views from almost every room. Great bathrooms, good mattresses, pillows and bedding. However, the house needs a little TLC/updating. We still had a great stay and it was ideal for 4 mature ladies to get away for a long weekend of R&R

Ideal place to get away to….

Lovely position overlooking Porthtowan and south west along the coast to Carbis Bay and St Ives. Close to the coastal path providing beautiful walks to many tin mines along the heritage coast trails. Perfect getaway whatever the weather. Very comfortable and showers were excellent

Beautiful Beach Cottage with Amazing View

My family and I spent a weekend at this property and absolutely fell in love. The view alone makes it worth the stay. But the house was also great. A little hard to find and a little ways from town, which ensures privacy and peace and quiet, but also still close enough for grocery delivery. :) Easy check-in/out process and timely communication. Highly recommend.
