Summary:
Sea views can be enjoyed from the entire living space of this beach shack, and you've even got a private path that leads straight down to Portreath Beach! The property is split across one level, and there's ample room for everyone to spread out and relax.
The Space:
There's all the mod cons you need to cook up hearty meals: find a modern oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine. After busy days out on the beach, you can retreat to the terrace for an evening BBQ (The BBQ is available for use from April to October) or, on cooler nights, to the comfortable corner sofa for a film night with the Smart TV.
There are 4 bedrooms in total, and each one is as welcoming as the next. The two largest come with double beds, while the further 2 are equipped with a twin room with two singles and a bunkbed. Please note, the bunk bed is only suitable for children. Each room has storage, so you can unpack for the week and make yourself at home. The rooms all share a stylish family bathroom with beautiful moroccan-style tiles, a roll top bath tub and a large shower with a luxury waterfall head and brass fittings. The position of the house cannot be rivalled in the area, and with private parking for 2 vehicles you're in the prime spot for a fun-filled holiday by the sea!
Dogs are welcome with a fee of £20/dog (max 2). It is on the condition they are not allowed on the soft furnishings or in the bedrooms.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property.
The Neighborhood:
The property is located in a prime spot overlooking Portreath Beach, and there is a private path that leads from the terrace right down to the sand. Portreath itself is known as a hidden gem of a village in Cornwall, tucked away on the North Coast between St Agnes and Godrevy. It's a quiet haven away from the busier resorts, but still boasts handy amenities, including a few pubs and shops. For dining options, try The Basset Arms (located 3 minutes walk), The Terrace (3 mins drive or 15 minute walk) or Blue Bar (12 mins drive). The local beach is large, sandy and popular with bodyboarders and surfers. As an RNLI lifeguarded beach, it is very safe for children! There are bodyboards and buckets and spades at the property, which of course you are welcome to use.
You can easily join the South West Coast Path as it follows the hemline of the jagged cliff-gilded countryside around Portreath. You can also follow a long-distance bike trail from there to Devoran on the south coast. Remnants of Portreath’s industrial past can be seen throughout the village making it a fascinating place for those with an interest in history too.
For days out, we'd recommend heading to Tehidy Country Park, which spans an area of 250 acres with over 9 miles of nature trails. The park is also a haven for birds – there are a number of hides around the lakes in the park where you can observe the birdlife feeding and interacting. Nearby Porthtowan is picturesque and boasts an even larger beach to enjoy! You can walk all the way to Chapel Porth Beach at low tide by the cliff base. St Agnes and Godrevy are also around 15-20 minutes drive - visit for stunning beaches, good walks and excellent food choices. Gwithian Beach (12 mins drive) is one of our favourite spots for a summer sundowner! Further afield, St Ives is 30 minutes drive whilst Falmouth and Newquay are a little further at 40 minutes.
Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of Cornwall, a vehicle is recommended for getting the most out of your time here. Free parking is available for two cars.
Other Things to Note:
Please note, whilst we welcome dogs at the property, they are unfortunately not allowed on the beach from 1st July to 31st August between 10am and 6pm. However, it is is dog friendly outside these hours and from 1st September to 30th June.
