This semi-detached holiday home overlooks the award winning beach, which is less than 70 yards. The beach is backed by dramatic cliffs, with stunning views from the Cornish Coastal Path which hugs the tops of the cliffs. Porthtowan has a children’s play area, sand dunes, beach bar, surf school and a local pub. Truro, with its theatre, shopping and cinema, and St Ives are easily reached. Porthreath, a short drive away, is the start of the Coast to Coast Cycle Path. Bike hire, horse riding, golf, surfing and kayaking are all available locally. Shop 200 yards, pub and restaurant 100 yards.
50 yards from beach. Playground opposite. Very comfortable. Absolutely everything needed for your stay is provided. Owners are nearby if any problems, and very nice people. Cake and flowers provided.
Excellent cottage, perfect location. Shame the pub and chippy were both shut.
The house was spotless and very well equipped with anything you could possibly need. Great position and lovely garden which we made use of as the weather was kind to us. A very comfortable stay. Thanks to hosts attention to detail, and welcoming attitude. Would highly recommend.
My Family had an amazing week here, we could ask for nothing more for a week away.
Our stay September, 2019
Stayed here for two weeks at end of Sep 19. Very comfortable, exceptionally clean & probably the best-equipped cottage we have ever stayed in. Location is as described - very close to beach & to hear the sea from the bedroom was perfect. If I was to make one suggestion, it would be to add a tumble drier (or maybe a washer drier if space is an issue) as it makes clothes drying in wet weather much easier. No mobile signal (on BT at least) in this location, but cottage has a reasonable speed broadband (I was getting about 12mbs), so plenty for streaming movies etc. Went to the newly-refurbished Unicorn which is within walking distance - its a very nice refurb, but they are still finding their feet. Food was 'ok', and a bit pricey, and we thought menu choices a bit limited. The Victory pub, a short drive away, has excellent food & is much more reasonable. Would certainly return to Kingsholm.
