What a lovely house to stay in! Unbelievable welcome pack that was so thoughtful, messages from owners before, during and after. We have stayed in Porthtowan for many many years and so stayed in lots of properties and this really was one of the best. If you want to book to stay right on top of a beautiful Cornish beach - choose this!

A lovely property, clean, light and well decorated including extra blinds on the windows, mirrors, sockets where needed ...yes! The owners went to a lot of trouble to welcome us with LOTS of goodies and little touches like sweets and childrens books by the bed. Generally quiet, just a little noisy Saturday evening. The wonderful sandy surfing beachRead more a 5 min walk has lots of rock pools and streams for the children. NB The main bed hanging space is low in the eaves. Hide

This was our son's and his fiance's first visit to Porthtowan (not ours) and we rented Beachside because it had two double bedrooms. We were very pleased with the house: two generous double rooms (plus a bunk room if needed); views of the beach from both of the rooms; a few minutes walk to everything (beach, bar, shop) and everything you would needRead more for your stay. We were so relaxed and happy and we want to stay again! Hide

Absolutely loved our stay. It was like being home from home. Accommodation was absolutely spotless clean. Jeanette had left us everything we needed. Lovely welcoming gifts on our arrival that made our day. Location was fantastic - less than 2 minutes from the beach. Pubs, cafe, local shop nearby too. Highly recommend and we will 100% be returning!

There was literally everything anyone could wish for, inside and out. Not only for the adults but also for children. Not the fanciest place we have stayed in - over the years we have stayed in alot of places, but honestly, the best catered for. Just the best. And the fittings are quality. And a hot electric shower - unheard of usually. Superb beds,Read more good furnishings, beautiful floweres, lovely view. And the most incredible 'goodies' Can't rate it highly enough. Hide
