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.

Great weekend away with friends
Perfect Location, just minutes walk to the beach and nice play park for the kids. Close to plenty of places to eat. Beach is beautiful. Views from the house is stunning. The cooker, decking and downstairs ensuite shower need some tlc but that didn’t effect usage or us having a fantastic time. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent stay
Our second time staying in this wonderful property. Clean, well equipped and in a lovely location. Great for getting out and about. We coped with the steep steps (good exercise), but needed to remember a torch when coming back after dark.

Wonderful weekend!
We had an amazing weekend at this property, it’s a really comfortable house with all you need. We were two families with kids aged between 5-10 and we all had a blast! The beds are super comfortable, seating areas are great with ample space for relaxing and enjoying the stunning views. We were blessed with amazing April weather and it was such a treat to wake up to the sound of the waves and watch the sun rise above Porthtowan. Local cafe and bars are lovely too and bonus playground within watching distance. We have already booked to return- highly recommend!

Porthtowan
Lovely place to stay, beach perfect for the dogs and people all very friendly. Accommodation good, could have been much better with a welcome pack! The steps were a challenge, I consider myself quite fit but 74steps to climb with luggage not easy, added to which my husband scraped his car on the hand rail while trying to park on the tricky slope. The views were amazing from the deck as expected.

Family holiday
The house was very spacious. Plenty of China , cutlery etc. it was clean however there were areas , under sofa radiators that had a lot of dust . The decking has seen better days and parts of the house needs a bit of tlc. The parking out side the house is difficult, we then parked in the car park a short walk away. The steps up to the house are many and very steep. But the view is lovely. Overall a great holiday but I wouldn’t book this house again

Winter break
Lovely house with fantastic views. Really well equipped and spacious. Very close to the beach, perfect place for a Cornish break! Our only slight gripe would be the parking, it was a little tricky reversing down off the slope.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect base
Myself and a group of friends just spent a few nights here as I was taking part in The Arc of Attrition 100mile race, it was the perfect base as the race finished in porthtowan at the eco park. The property itself was clean and very spacious and had everything we needed for a large group of adults. Beautiful views, comfy beds, and lovely open living room and kitchen/dining room. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property, a few niggles
The property is spacious and well positioned for the beach. Difficult to park a car on their driveway so had to park elsewhere. The BBQ and oven were not clean. Leak in shower room and one shower not working but fixed whilst we were there. The property is lovely and the host personable. With the charges for cleaning i would expect it to be spotless. Check in time too late at 5pm and check out 9.30am too early should be at the very least 10am and 4pm. Especially with all the steps to get everything up and down. Even with these niggles it was a lovely holiday in a beautiful property.
