This house is perfect for us, less than a minute from the beach, in a lovely little village with everything we need and on the coastal path. This was our fourth visit to the property and I'm sure that we will visit again!
Lovely beach. Best pub is the Blue Boy on the opposite side of the dunes. The Unicorn is overpriced and the staff donât seem the know what theyâre doing. Aldi is a short drive away in Redruth but donât go mad with the shopping because the fridge at this property isnât very big. The internet is very good though.
Placed just beside the sea, and a 2 minute walk from the local shop and pub makes an ideal location. The house is well equipped with all you need for a perfect Cornish holiday.
This is our second visit to Hufflepuff and it was even better. The weather was great and Porthtowan is so convenient for other places, as well as being a great place to stay.
We've already booked again for next year!
Great, comfortable property. Really clean and welcoming. All kitted out for body boarding life and for dodging terrible weather if required (which we had too!)
Location is perfect for swims, body boarding and gorgeous costal walks either way. The Blue Bar had fantastic service and sunsets ( the menu is limited, but well done). Far preferrable to the Unicorn which had poor service and food that was over priced. Only welcome addition to the property would be a hairdryer please!
I do hope we make it back
This is a perfect beachside property, really only a minute's walk from the beach. Everything was was described and we had a very happy comfortable week long stay. This was our first visit to Porthtowan but it won't be out last and we want to stay here again! Thank you for letting us stay in your house.
Lovely house in an enviable position...nearness to the sea was such a bonus. Clean and comfortable with everything we needed. A place where you can relax in peace.
We couldnât have had a better time. The location is superb, ideal for families with the beach and playground (with pub attached) on your doorstep. Will definitely be back.
This cottage was amazing we loved every minute of our stay so cosy and homely beds and bedding top quality emaculately clean . Location absolutley brilliant .
Die Wohnung war gemĂŒtlich, gerĂ€umig, fĂŒr unsere BedĂŒrfnisse voll ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Die Lage direkt am Strand und am Spielplatz ist fĂŒr Familien mit Kindern ideal. Der Parkplatz vor der HaustĂŒr ist auch sehr praktisch.
Die Vermieter geben sich auch sehr MĂŒhe, das Haus schön und gemĂŒtlich fĂŒr GĂ€ste zu gestalten. Es gibt BĂŒcher und DVDs fĂŒr jedes Alter, die BettwĂ€sche und die VorhĂ€nge sind liebevoll ausgewĂ€hlt und alles ist ausfĂŒhrlich in einem Handbuch erklĂ€rt.
Der einzige unpraktische Punkt fĂŒr uns war die Dusche im oberen Stockwerk - der Sand vom Strand verteilte sich dadurch schnell ĂŒberall.
Der Ort selbst ist ein Paradies fĂŒr Surfer und Wanderer. Der Strand ist regelmĂ€Ăig durch rettungsschwimmer bewacht, die Kneipen sind gemĂŒtlich und das Eis schmeckt fantastisch. Auch der kleine Laden im Dorf hat ausgiebige Ăffnungszeiten, so dass man sich gut mit dem Nötigsten ausstatten kann.
Thank you for a wonderful time!
Porthtowan was just lovely. Itâs a great beach and the house is in such a great location with reliable parking.
Great house for us. The ONLY thing is that I think it could be made clearer on the description that although linens are provided, this does not mean towels as well!! Itâs not a big deal to bring towels but useful to know. It seems we werenât the only ones to be caught out.
Overall great stay.
The property was clean, modern, comfortable and well equipped even to a nespresso machine for the daily coffee. Very convenient for the beach and local amenities, the blue bar busy but good selection of food. The local shop well stocked. Moomaids icecream is delicious. Thanks for making a lovely place available.
1 Minute zu FuĂ zum Strand mit Topwellen, zauberhaft mit SteilkĂŒste eingerahmt (im ĂŒbrigen Surfer-Geheimtipp mit Wellengarantie und tĂ€glicher Ăberwachung durch die englische Surfer-Rettung). 1 Minute zur Bluebar fĂŒr den Kaffee zwischendurch oder das Pint am Abend. 1 Minute zu FuĂ zu einem sehr netten Dorfladen, der alles Nötige parat hat. Und in dreiĂig bis vierzig Autominuten ist man bei einer Menge der vielen SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten und hĂŒbschen Spots Cornwalls angelangt. Haben eine sehr entspannte und schöne Woche dort verbracht und uns in dem geschmackvoll eingerichteten und liebevoll und komplett ausgestatteten kleinen HĂ€uschen sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt. 100% Empfehlung.
We are a family of 4 who love everything Porthtowan has to offer. Dan loves to tackle the challenge of the waves on his kayak whilst Kate loves the exhilaration body boarding provides. Emma, 12 years old loves to jump over and dive through all the waves whilst Luke, 11 years old is learning how to surf. Watching the sunset over the horizon in the evening is beautiful and we all enjoy watching it either sat on the beach or from The Blue Bar.
Porthtowan has a very special place in our hearts and we feel very fortunate to become the owners of a home in the village. We love the location because of its proximity to the beach making it easy to take kayaks, surf boards and body boards to the sea. It is easy to watch the kids playing in the dunes or the park from the home so they can be independent but as parents we know they are safe because we can see them easily. Porthtowan is a small village so the ice cream parlour, shop and restaurants are all close without being intrusive. We describe it as the perfect triangle, home, sea, pub!
