About this property

Coastal eco-home for up to 6, short walk from Porthtowan village and beach

  • Our beautiful holiday lodge sits at the top of Towan Valley, tucked away in a quiet corner. It has a rear terrace, front veranda and a first floor balcony that offer privacy and enable you to be in the sun all day long, or in the shade if it gets too hot. The paved terrace at the rear is a private and sheltered space ideal for outdoor meals, sunbathing and relaxing on the large corner sofa.

    Porthtowan's famous sand and surf beach is just a short walk away, while village amenities include a small grocery store, children's playground, surf hire and tuition and numerous cafes and pub / restaurants including the famous Blue Bar and the Unicorn On The Beach.

    Nestling in a sheltered coastal valley and designed to blend in with the surrounding landscape, the Towan Valley lodges are the ethical and responsible choice for a self-catering holiday in Cornwall. You will not be occupying a property that could be used as someone’s home.

    The whole house has been refurbished in recent years and now features bathrooms with integrated WC and basin units, real wood flooring or vinyl tiles throughout. Best of all, an air source heat pump provides warm air to all rooms during the chillier days of spring, autumn and winter. Full size appliances make it ideal for a working vacation with the family, or a winter let.

    The high speed fibre internet service keeps you in touch with the rest of the world at all times, and provides up to date local information and guides covering the whole of Cornwall.

    The ground floor of the house is very spacious and light with three glazed doors and side windows. The lounge area has two comfortable leather sofas, coffee tables, a 49 in. Smart TV and a wide choice of reading material, games etc. The dining area has a large and sturdy oak dining set to seat 8, plus a further table for study, card games etc. The kitchen is separate and also large and well-equipped with a view to the rear and back terrace. There is also a WC on the ground floor.

    The rear of the house is open right up to the roof with huge windows which greet the morning sun. A painted wood staircase leads to the first floor.

    The main bedroom is also very spacious and has a delightful balcony which gets the sun for most of the day and has a lovely view over the rooftops to the surrounding countryside and down to the sea. This room has a superking size bed, plenty of drawers and a hanging rail plus a good sized en-suite shower room. Two more bedrooms offer a king size double bed and twin beds , both with storage space and hanging rails. The shared family bathroom has a full size bath with thermostatic shower mixer, plus wash basin and WC.

    There is an allocated parking space just a short walk from the entrance door.
