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.

Great property, good kitchen facilities, great location near the beach, but the uneven access caused more issues than expected; one of our party fell on loose decking and broke their glasses.

This house is in a stunning location with amazing sea views. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for our weeks holiday. We had adults, an infant and dogs too. It felt spacious enough that we all had our own spaces and the fact there were 4 bathrooms was amazing. The steps upto the house are difficult but so worth it.

Great holiday house and close to beach. We appreciated the improvements that have been made to the property since our last visit but we missed the large bbq which has been replaced with a small one not big enough when cooking for ten guests .

Wow those steps !!

Excellent but details are right about the steps. Would not suit anyone with mobility/medical problems. View fantastic as were locals except for abusive neighbour as we were trying to load our car this morning. Can’t possibly repeat her language but people renovating next door helpful. Nervous car Parker's beware of steep drive

Lovely property with great views, comfortable and well equipped. We've stayed in the village several times but this was our first time in this house, I'm sure it won't be the last.Lots of steps up to the property, might be a problem for older and less physically fit people, but weren't a problem for us. The views are worth it! We found the steep driveway a bit of a problem but found parking elsewhere

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
