Contemporary Beach House with sea views and short walk to Blue Flag beach

Beach House sits 100m from the Blue Flag beach in Porthtowan, a small seaside village with a stunning 1 mile sandy beach, framed by National Trust protected coastline and served by RNLI Lifeguards. Learn to surf at the legendary Tris Surf or enjoy the thrill of nature lying down on a foam body board. On the beach is the 'Blue Bar', a Good Pub Guide pub with great food, and Chapel Porth National Trust cafe, home of the world famous HedgeHog ice cream. Walkers take the South West coastal path from the gate through the UNESCO World Heritage North Cornwall coastline. For cyclists: take an 11 mile coast-to-coast cycle route along old railway lines and one of the best BMX facilities in the UK is nearby. Great location for all of Cornwall, only 5 minutes from the A30. 20 minutes to Truro, 30 minutes to Newquay, Falmouth and St Ives. St Michaels Mount, Padstow, Lands End and The Eden Project are within in a 45 minute radius.

Perfect Short Family Break

We had a few minor problems on arrival, which are charming host sorted quickly. The house and location are stunning. It is close to the beach, various eateries and a Post Office/ local store.The steps up to the house were challenging, but worth the effort. All the rooms were clean, well equipped and comfortable. And it was wonderfully quiet at night. We hope to return.

The property and location were great. The car parking was was not ideal but we knew that clearly beforehand. The thing that was not mentioned beforehand was all the steps and was a hassle taking pushchairs and prams and even the luggage up and down. Overall it was worth the hassles !

Great Beach Home

The property was extremely clean and well-stocked. It's a beautiful home with a beautiful view of the beach. We really enjoyed our time there. The driveway is a killer and there are several steps to the entrance, but the climb is so worth it! Thanks for a great few days in Porthtowan!

Great location and beautiful views

Lovely stay, nice house took advantage of the beach which was lovely. Great bar by the sea nearby. Some decor needs refreshing and the single day beds are not suitable for teens as too restrictive. House has everything you need but bring firewood and kindling as not much provided.

Great spot

Matk was very accommodating so thank you. Lovely spot right next to the beach. Yes the steps was a challenge by myself and dogs but was well worth it just for the view.Not able to park on the drive as the Car wouldn’t get up the drive due to luggage in thr boot. Parked in a nearby car parkProperty had everything I needed and was very cleanI did highlight to Mark about the oil tank outside producing fumes but haven’t had a response. So be careful using naked flames next to it . Nice large fridge but the surround system didn’t work although there was sky and a large TV. Loved the living room. And the blind mechanism which was quite smart. It is an old building so expect some noise from the pipes when the boiler is on Overall great vacation let. Sent from my iPhone

Beautiful views, lovely house - let down by unfinished work

We stayed here for 2 nights in January 2025 for 2 nights as a group of 8 including young children as a family weekend away. The house itself is lovely with good facilities and stunning views. Appreciate it was off season however arriving with the majority of the outside area unable to use was a big let down. Tools, wood cuttings, nails and screws everywhere, gaps in unfinished railings some of which were at a high height made it unsafe for our kids to go outside as well as the dogs. Scrap pieces of wood had been piled at the top of the garden with nails sticking out of them, it was all everywhere. It was not communicated to us at all that the house would be having work done and half the deck unable to use. I messaged the host to see if we could arrive an hour early as was travelling from a distance to which they eventually agreed but initially said they would need to check as the deck has been replaced that week. It was completely unfinished when we arrived. It really affected our stay it was a present to our in laws as a gift and it really let us down. Porthtowan is a beautiful place and this house I’m sure will be stunning in the summer when the work is complete, I have just never experienced something like this. No apology or any communication from host to explain situation.

Great spot

Nice property with plenty of space. We stayed in winter but the deck would obviously be lovely in summer! Parking is available but is tricky and not ideal if you have a van - up a steep ramp and then requires reversing down a narrow lane to get out. Not impossible but not easy! There is parking in the village which was easily accessible when we stayed.

Family holiday

The house was very spacious. Plenty of China , cutlery etc. it was clean however there were areas , under sofa radiators that had a lot of dust . The decking has seen better days and parts of the house needs a bit of tlc. The parking out side the house is difficult, we then parked in the car park a short walk away. The steps up to the house are many and very steep. But the view is lovely. Overall a great holiday but I wouldn’t book this house again
