Could not fault the location, the living space, crockery, cookware and the excellent shower. Double bed comfortable but seemed rather small. Disappointed there was less than half a toilet roll left and no bin bags available. The fridge and sofas were showing signs of wear and after the summer the house needed a deep clean. But would return because of the quiet spot.

Fabulous location right by a fabulous beach!
We loved our stay at Castaways. The location was perfect for us as with 3 teenage kids they just wanted to body board and be on the beach. Fantastic life guarded beach. Lovely little village, amazing restaurant/bar which met all our family’s needs just across the sand. A perfect week in Porthtowan. We’ll be back! x

Great position next to the beach. Close to shop/PO and an excellent chippie. Able to relax together inside or in the garden, or walk across to the pub. We did travel about too, to St Agnes and Perranporth - both within easy reach - and to the Victory Inn 1/2 mile away, but the home beach is a huge asset and not too crowded as others may be.

Excellent location for walks and beach time.
Just the ticket. We didn’t want an over crowded location. This was ideal for walks on the coast. The property had everything we needed.
