About this property

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.

much needed escape with an amazing view
We needed an early year escape, had discovered Wheal Coates a couple of years ago and Porthtowan seemed like an ideal base for the weekend. The house was perfect for the four of us, with lots of space and incredible choice of rooms. Views of the waves were better than we expected even. Everything was clean - kitchen was great - lots of mugs, glasses, plates etc. Lots of steps up to the front door, but most were shallow so it was not too tiring after a long walk round the coast path. Parking space was large enough for one car but being up a ramp, i would not have wanted to try to park another car behind it. The main car park in Porthtowan was free at this time of year, though, and was only a couple of minutes walk away. Altogether very comfortable - would definitely love to come again, especially as nowhere is far to get to, even on the other coast.

Super house, great location
A well equipped house with plenty of room for all to enjoy. Rooms are all comfortable and there are plenty of toilets and showers. The house was warm and the owners provided everything needed. The views are gorgeous and it literally is a two minute walk to the lovely beach and coastal walks. The Unicorn Pub does good food and is a 1 minute walk. There are a lot of steps up to reach the property!! We loved our stay at Beach House.

Beautiful Location
The property is in a wonderful location and is warm and spacious with amazing views especially from one of the upstairs bedrooms. Showers are good, huge bath and lovely comfortable beds. A few things need a bit of attention especially outside but on the whole a lovely property. This property is definitely not for anyone with mobility issues or infirm.

Spacious family house ideal for large family gatherings
A Christmas venue for family get together. Host gave us access as soon as it was ready and any minor issues caused by previous tenants were resolved satisfactorily. As long as you are fit, the climb up the steps is totally worth it for the amazing views from the decking and garden. The 3 en suites plus a family bathroom are a real bonus for large family get togethers.

About the host

Host profile image
We are a family with Cornish roots who love Porthtowan. We bought the Beach Cottage for the stunning views over the beach and coastline beyond. We furnished the house to a high standard with 1 to 2 families in mind, so you can have a relaxing holiday in Cornwall.

Why they chose this property

The North Cornwall Coast is simply stunning, crossing the River Tamar from England lifts the spirit and you know you are in a special place. Porthtowan is a hidden gem of a beach, though its place in the development of surfing in the UK has increased its popularity. With over a mile of sand you will always have plenty of space even in highest summer.

We dreamed of a home with a sea view and Beach House has just that. No driving to the car park, just walk down and back at your leisure. Of course Cornwall has many other attractions and Porthtowan is centrally located for most of them.
