About this property
Enjoying an exceptional position within the fishing port village of Portreath is this mid-terrace property, Beach Cottage. Resting just moments away from the sandy beach and an interior enjoying a nautical touch, this holiday accommodation is perfect for groups of couples, friends and families to come together to enjoy this corner of coastal Cornwall. The sitting room has been designed with a touch of opulence throughout, ensuring a welcoming space to return to each evening. Here, there is an inviting seating arrangement perfectly positioned for flicking through the channels of the Smart TV, as well as for enjoying the gentle warmth of the electric fire.
From here is the contemporary kitchen suite, a light-filled space where the chef of the group can make the most of the quality appliances on hand, whilst the dining table offers a sociable spot for relishing in home-cooked meals, a bottle of fizz and planning the day’s ahead. Upstairs, you will find three well-presented bedrooms, comprising of a super-king-size with zip/link features, a king-size bed and a single bed, each designed to offer a flexible sleep arrangement and each designed with quality linens and furnishings, in addition to their own Smart TVs for those lazy mornings in bed. To the exterior, there is a fully-enclosed garden, allowing your canine companion to stretch his legs, as well as an outdoor shower to rinsing sandy equipment and a table and chairs for alfresco dining.
Look forward to exploring your surroundings, where a range of shops and eateries await, as well as a pretty sandy beach that is popular with families and surfers. Avid ramblers can look forward to an array of coastal walks, including a trek along the North Cliffs southwards to Bassets Cove, where you can spot rich wild flowers and various sea birds. Tehidy Country Park is also a great spot for families to enjoy, home to the largest area of woodland in West Cornwall with a plethora of paths and trails to enjoy, with breath-taking scenery to enjoy along the way. Explore the coastline further with visits to Porthtowan or Godrevy and Gwithian, or head inland to the city of Truro, where there is opportunities for retail therapy, architectural delights and great things to do, including Skinners Brewery, Furniss Island garden and the Plaza Cinema.
Other local attractions include Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm, Lappa Valley and Paradise Park and JungleBarn for families of all ages and tastes to enjoy. As well as the beauty of St. Ives and Penzance also within reaching distance, a stay at Beach Cottage is sure to impress.

Well equipped. Good location, minutes from the beach.

Fully equipped and less than 2 minutes to the beach and not much further to the local pub, bakery and shop. If you want to be more active there are numerous walks along the cliffs and at the top of the hill is Tehidy Woods where you can walk for miles. My only gripe would be this is advertised as a pet friendly property but on your arrival you are requested not to let your dog upstairs. This was an issue for us as our dog has always slept upstairs on an evening and has terrible separation anxiety and caused problems for the first few days. Overall though itâs a great place to stay.

It was in the best location, we spent most of our time enjoying Portreath. The house was in perfect condition, every detail well thought of and immaculate. Beds very comfortable, the only feedback was the single bed in the small bedroom, he said the mattress was really springy, but he slept ok. The garden was great and again everything you needed, the use of the outdoor shower was a real bonus! We will be booking again. Thanks to the owners for allowing us to share this amazing holiday home!
