AUG 12TH RE-AVAILABLE, BEAUTIFUL HARBOURSIDE COTTAGE, 2 MIN WALK TO BEACH

We are thrilled to offer Camellia Cottage as a beautiful and homely harbourside cottage, just 2 minute walk to Portreath beach.

We are now in our seventh year of holiday letting having hosted many happy guests and enjoyed a good number of wonderful weeks in Cornwall ourselves. We succesfully navigated Covid and ensured that all affected guests had the choice of a full refund or transfer to alternative dates.

This 3 bedroom property sleeps 6 guests (plus 1 infant) in a double, twin and bunk room. Both the double and bunk room overlook the harbour. For your comfort the double room features a king size bed and the twin beds are extra long (6'6"). There is a travel cot, highchair and stairgate available if you are bringing an infant. The bathroom completes the upstairs accomodation and includes a shower enclosure above the bath. For the convenience of guests bath and hand towels are provided for use during your stay, however guests must bring their own towels for use on the beach.

Downstairs there is a spacious lounge with beamed ceiling and bow window to take full advantage of the harbour views. The lounge includes a wood-burning stove that makes it extra cosy in the winter. Adjoining the lounge is a fully equipped kitchen/diner in which you will find all the usual kitchen equipment as well as: dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, table and chairs for 6.

Outside, with the harbour located immediately beyond, the front patio area provides a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the views of boats bobbing and indulging in some people spotting - including watching people jumping into the water from the harbour wall or cliffs! Where the enclosed back patio proves to be a sun trap in the evening to ensure you can enjoy the last of the day while listening to the sound of the sea. In practical terms there is also a clothes line and airers for drying your beach wear ready for your next day of adventure. There is unrestricted on-road parking to the rear of the property and a private parking area to the side.

Portreath is a North Cornish coastal village nestled in a valley between imposing cliffs. It's beautiful sandy beach is ideal and safe for bathing and watersports because of its often sheltered situation and RNLI lifeguard cover. Portreath village includes shops, restaurants, takeaways and is accessible with a train station in Redruth (5 miles) and a regular bus service.

Family Summer Holiday
A fantastic stay in a lovely place. A real hidden gem, portreath is a quiet spot in cornwall away from the hussle and bustle but all that is in easy reach if you want to visit for a day! But then come back to a lovely property and a little village with just what you need. A little shop for food and essentials, a great local cafe for a breakfast, the beach and a beach front cafe and the portreath pub for a fantastic meal out. Great host and everything you need!

Very good ,one letdown
Great location and the rental is clean and usable , Let down somewhat by Portreath itself, Harbour is still used to drain grey water. , being tidal, the pong was obnoxious to some of our party at low tide when drying out, Note to landlord.....we think the dishwasher needs attention..it would,t stop but worked, Posotives outweighed negatives and overhall a great stay.

Wonderful.even better than expected.5 star to me ... I camp a lot
If I was to say anything to improve on..A little light in small bedroom would be good . Quite windy through that window. Light shade on big light there too. Kitchen .. Personal thing glass mats not our thing! But practical . Some bigger dishes , mixing or serving food . Outside gate rattles a lot in the wind (wedge) Key box light would help .

Lovely House in a Wonderful Location
Cottage Nice 3-bedroom house within 3 minutes walking distance from Portreath beach. Front windows overlooks the harbour and the stairs landing window overlooks Portreath bay and the sea. Parking Was easy to park along the same road as the house and there was more parking out on the main road. Kitchen Fully equipped kitchen with electric hob and oven and an 800-watt microwave. Blender and toaster, salt and pepper, tea bags, coffee and sugar are provided. There was also a pint of milk in the fridge for a much need cup of tea upon arrival. Cups/cutlery and glasses are plentiful. A Washer Machine with Drier was also a welcome addition. A dishwasher is also available but we never used it. Connectivity Broadband is provided via a BT hub fibre connection. Speed at time of stay is 50 down and 9 up which should suffice most usage. O2 mobile signal is almost non-existent inside the house but we used the TuGo app from o2 which was brilliant, if your network provides it Wi-Fi calling, Whatsapp or iMessage should also work. Technology Flat panel tv with HDMI blue ray in the living room was most welcome when it was raining outside. Bedrooms 3 bedrooms, with a very comfortable double bed in the main bedroom. Local Food & Takeaway Local area has corner shop, bakery and a couple of restaurants. Justeat.co.uk gives you more options that delivery, very nice curry from Manha Spice House in Redruth. Local shopping can be had from Aldi which is about a 10 minute drive back towards the A30 or there is a Tesco in Redruth which is about 15 minute drive. Bathroom Bath with very powerful shower which was nice. Contact with Owner Communication with Gail the owner, was excellent, via email, HomeAway messaging and text message. Information regarding the cottage was provided in advance, with more information at the cottage along with brochures for local attractions and events. Overall Would highly recommend this cottage, it is in a fabulous location and is very clean and tidy.

Memories are made of this.
Brilliant location with the most beautiful sunsets, without even having to leave the house. The owner is very obliging and quick to respond to any emails. Parking can be difficult even though there is meant to be a space opposite the garage it’s often taken but we were able to come to an arrangement with the management at the Waterfront Inn to park there fir a small fee, which was well worth it. Perfect beach with surf, rock pools and caves.
