Our family home is an open-plan house ideally located in Porthtowan, which is just a 4-minute flat walk to the beach, local shops, restaurants, and the famous beach hangout – the Blue Bar! In the summer, the secluded back garden is sunny throughout the day, with an upper terrace where you can enjoy the sunsets while looking over the sea. It's a fantastic location to enjoy the coast and beach life, and it is a central location for exploring more of beautiful Cornwall, just 3 miles from the A30.

The space
Our home has been recently refurbished with new carpets, kitchen and decorated throughout, and we would like you to feel it's your home for the duration.

The living area is all open plan with large windows, open fire and wooden distressed floors – perfect for sandy feet! The bedrooms are on a split level with the master room having glimpses of the sea. There is a cloakroom with a toilet near the main living space and a bathroom with a walk in shower and toilet located next to the second and fourth bedrooms. There is a TV in the lounge with Smart TV features for you to log into any entertainment channels. The house has Wifi, but there is very little 4G mobile service in the village in general.

There are 4 bedrooms, all with super comfy beds and professional linen and towels provided. Each room has plenty of space for storage of clothes and are fully carpeted.

The house has a modern beach vibe, with a small sheltered garden with a patio that’s perfect for breakfasts in the sun and bbq's in the evening. From the garden, you can access the upper terrace that has two seating areas, one with sea views and the other very sheltered from any wind. These terraces have the sun all day and are very private. There is a driveway with parking for four cars. We are situated on the road into the village and there are several footpaths which take you straight to Porthtowan beach, local shops, cafes and coastal walks.

Guest access
The home will be yours, I will keep a lock on my garage (outside) as well as the cupboard under the house.

Other things to note
All bedding and towels are provided - except for beach towels, please bring your own. I will leave a rug and some beach things for you to use while you are here.

Neighbourhood highlights

Porthtowan is a great village, not too big but not too small - so it has a friendly atmosphere as there are things going on and there's plenty of room on the beach. It has a convenience store open till late for all the essentials, a few cafes and bars, and a cool beach shop for buckets and spades as well as trinkets and gifts. If you fancy a surf, there is a surf hire place next to the beach where you can hire wetsuits and boards and book a lesson. The Blue Bar is always a good choice for a sundowner, dinner or a bowl of chips with a beer at lunchtime. The Porthtowan cafe does the best breakfasts, with a home-cooked menu served all day and good options for vegetarians and vegans alike. They also run burger nights and feast nights, so take a look at their facebook page for dates if you'd like to join in during your stay. For the best Cornish icecreams, pop into the Moomaid of Zennor icecream parlor right on the beach. Recently opened is the restaurant and bar Unicorn on the Beach serving fantastic fresh food all day and night - definitely worth booking ahead!

Just 2 miles away is the beautiful village of St Agnes that has lots of eateries and pubs to choose from, a local butcher and greengrocer as well as a small co-op and bank. The nearest supermarket is in Redruth just 5 miles away. Porthtowan is only 8 miles from the city of Truro where you will find high street shopping, larger supermarkets and a cinema.
