About this property

Very quaint Cornish cottage, many original features & redecorated to a nautical / shabby chic style. Cosy in winter and cool in summer. 100m to a white sand & clear blue water beach, perfect for body boarding/swimming, rock pools for kids. Coastal path on your doorstep as well as great places to eat/drink. 20 mins to St ives and a short journey to the south coast. The house consists of 2 bedrooms, both with double beds, a bathroom including bath and over head shower. Gallery style well equipt kitchen, good sized living room including a double sofa bed. The conservatory doubles as a dining room. Ideal for a couple or family.

If you wait for the tide to go out at portreath beach there is a natural swimming pool in the rocks to the right and you can explore all the caves to the left.

There are lifeguards on the beach through high season.

For places to go we would recommend:

the little cafe on the beach for a snack/hot drinks/ breakfast bap etc, eating out at the Atlantic cafe, & Basset arms (they have a quiz night). The hub has bike hire and a delightful cafe, if you’re lucky you’ll catch one of their themed nights (ticket only) every 2 weeks through the summer. Portreath arms has recently had a makeover and looks amazing, food great. Best pasties are from the local bakery (sell out by lunch time) and there is a local shop 2 mins from the cottage & they do cash back. In porthtowen the blue bar is a great spot, in st ives - porthmeor cafe and blas burger are amazing. Carbis bay is a beautiful beach if you go to st ives & we normally park at the station. For surfing or a long walk - Gwithian beach is stunning. Trip to trebah gardens and helford river (stopping at the ferry boat inn) is a great day out. You can book a river cruise that picks up at the Budock vean hotel.

A Week of Bliss

Love Cornwall, always have which is why we keep visiting. We always book a cottage and try to stay local to a beach so our dog can have a good run about. Piskey Cottage is perfectly located for that. Any cottage serves as a base only and Piskey has all the amenities you wld need. Generally well kept but a bit more detail to the cleaning wldnt go amiss. The TV has subtitles stuck without the remote for the TV itself to be able to remove them. The washer dryer probably cld do with some attention to the panel as the buttons were a bit dodgy and whilst we managed to get it working there was often a fault light showing. Lets face it the cottage was fine as a base and serves our requirements.

A fantastic base!

This is a beautiful old fisherman’s cottage a stones throw from the beach which is a perfect base for a holiday in Cornwall. Portreath beach is less than 5 minutes walk away and there is a grocery shop and numerous places to eat out / grab a takeaway. The cottage is clean, well kitted out and

Wonderful stay

Had a really great little break here, excellent location, a short walk to beach and many other great places to visit by car nearby too. Cosy, lovely place and nice little garden too and overall very chill. Great that its pet friendly, I went with my dog who loved the beach Im glad we came in June when dogs are allowed on the beach (Check if you're taking a dog on what months they can go on beach)

9 Tage in Portreath

Wir haben keine First-Class-Unterkunft erwartet aber es hätte insgesamt etwas sauberer sein dürfen (Wintergarten-Dach, Küche). Ein leicht muffiger Geruch ist sicherlich der alten Bausubstanz geschuldet und hat uns nicht gestört. Küche ungewöhnlich ausgestattet, hat aber funktioniert. Duschbereich im Bad sehr niedrig. Strandnähe war super. Alles einfach zu finden.

Nice small cottage at the seaside

It was a nice stay in a quiet, neat surrounding, app. eight minutes walk to the beach. The cottage was sufficiently equipped for three adults. But we are sorry to say that it wasn´t cleaned properly: Dirt on the floor, hair on the bathroom floor, a lot of spider webs in the edges, the oven was very sticky and the fan above the stove was covered with dirt which made it unusable. The water kettle didn´t work. There are no plug-ins in the bathroom. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay very much.

Cosy house in the perfect location

House was great, close to the beach, pub and the local amenities- probably one of the best beaches for swimming or bodyboarding and the local rental shop were friendly and really helpful 👍 the local pubs are fantastic- Portreath arms serves excellent food in the restaurant or great pub food in the bar - and the Basset Arms is everything a proper pub should be ;) the cottage was the perfect base with its cosy private garden and flexible sleeping - also positioned perfectly for exploring the SW coastal path - the walk to Porthowan was superb and the Unicorn on the beach a great pub to stop and eat 👍👍👍

Perfect location

We are a family of 5 (children are young and still happy to share beds!) and had a brilliant week at the cottage. It is small, but we had lovely weather so was great as a base. Lovely big sofa to relax on and we could all fit round the dining table. There was plenty of crockery, fridge space etc for a family. The location was amazing. The beach was just down the road and what a beach it is! Lots of caves and rock pools to explore and beautiful sand for the children to play in. We loved Portreath and found it less commercial than other Cornish towns. There is also a shop just up the road for basics, and a Chinese takeaway. It’s around 10 min drive to big supermarkets.

Piskey Cottage Portreath

This property is not fit for human habitation. Did not stay longer than it took me to call the owner and and get a full refund. Mould on the walls, thick black cobwebs everywhere and generally the most filthy place I have ever seen. Very filthy bedding and crockery. No central heating and so tiny with 4 people in the lounge there was no room for my dog. The freezer was so iced up you could NOT get the drawers open and it looked like the cooker had not been cleaned since the day it was installed.

The place to be!!

This cottage was very comfortable and the perfect location for exploring much of Cornwall. Portrearh itself has both coastal and forest walks to discover. The beach is perfect and offers lovely sunsets. A nice quiet neighborhood with charming bakery and lots of wonderful places to explore nearby. Little nearby seaside villages are loaded with character and also very close to Falmouth. We could not have been happier with our choice of cottage!

The cottage is compact, but was really well equipped and we had a lovely comfortable stay. Great to be able to walk down to the beach with our wetsuits on! Great food at the beach cafe, Portreath Arms and the local Chinese. Communication with the host was very good. I would thoroughly recommend staying here.
