Loved the location. Beach and cliff walks right on your doorstep. Had everything I needed. Kettle was a bit hit and miss and the sky had no signal however that didn’t ruin my stay. As expected with a holiday rental a lot of wear and tare through disregard from previous guests. Very warm place with fabulous views of the countryside and beach below. All recommended beaches are within an hour of the property . St Agnes is a great view point which is only 10 mins away. A local shop is a few metres walk away and they are very friendly. Major supermarkets about 20 mins away but getting a delivery was well worth it. Would definitely come again. The dogs loved it and was a great birthday vacation.
This house and its location are stunning. We has such a great time here and loved the well equiped kitchen. The house was clean and warm, wish we could have stayed for longer.
Beautiful sunset views from almost every room. Great bathrooms, good mattresses, pillows and bedding. However, the house needs a little TLC/updating. We still had a great stay and it was ideal for 4 mature ladies to get away for a long weekend of R&R
Lovely position overlooking Porthtowan and south west along the coast to Carbis Bay and St Ives. Close to the coastal path providing beautiful walks to many tin mines along the heritage coast trails. Perfect getaway whatever the weather. Very comfortable and showers were excellent
Ar first seemed but rough round the edges!
BUT very clean and comfortable.
Great bathrooms and comfy beds.
Plenty of space for us party of 10.
Great decking with amazing views.
We will be back.!
A good location for us, however the walk back up the hill from the beach is challenging to say the least.
The property generally in good condition but could do with a little love
My family and I spent a weekend at this property and absolutely fell in love. The view alone makes it worth the stay. But the house was also great. A little hard to find and a little ways from town, which ensures privacy and peace and quiet, but also still close enough for grocery delivery. :) Easy check-in/out process and timely communication. Highly recommend.
We had a great time celebrating my mum and her partner finally getting married after 25 years together.
The house was lovely and great value for money. The views are incredible!
The only downside for us was the neighbours made it more than clear they are not happy about a holiday let being on the street, (more than happy to discuss this with the own otherwise, a great stay.
Cute cottage with amazing views of stunning beach & coastline.
This is a well-equipped Cottage with good facilities. Location is great, right on the SW Coastal Path with 2 pubs on the Blue Flag sandy beach close-by.

Good location ,brilliant view,enjoyable stay.property a little unkempt around the edges,no upkeep or contact whilst there(grass cutting or maintenance) but the location and view made up for this
We loved this property - the views from many windows was amazing and we were lucky with the weather for most of our stay. The approach to the property is interesting - narrow road full of potholes so drive with care and slowly!!
Very happy with our stay. Large house. 4 toilets with the two bathrooms and two showers. Well equipped kitchen. Toaster, kettle, coffee machine etc. Beautiful view. Perfect bedding. Would come again and again.
Fantastic and very special property with great layout and views. We were a group of 9 adults for our annual meetup. We found the place a great launching point for various Cornwall adventures, as well as a wonderful place to simply relax at the house. Very easy in and out. Good WiFi. A couple of good restaurants (Unicorn and Blue Bar) in walking distance and the access to the Coastal Path was phenomenal!
Our second visit to this property, great location a few minutes from the beach and coast path. Sunny deck to watch the sunset and early morning surfers and good property layout with lots of space for bigger groups.. didnt want to come home.
We had a brilliant time here, 4 adults and 5 children (3-10yrs old), great cottage, large bedrooms, comfy beds, amazing views of the beach, ocean and sunset. Loved the walk down to the beach. Would visit again for sure!
My family and I enjoyed staying at this property - nice lay out so you all have your own little bit of space but nice big communal areas for spending time together - the hosts have left lots of condiments/cleaning products/utensils so you don’t need to buy/take lots of things with you - really pretty view. Sunsets are 10/10 and are visible from most of the house. The nearby beach has a lovely local/community feel to it.
Overall - very happy with our stay
Wow is what we all say, views stunning, cottage beautiful so well equipped. There where 9 in our party aged from 70's / 3 years Mark was perfect host highly recommended this property for large group hope to return.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you very much. Beautifully situated, decorated & furnished - cheers

We are a family with Cornish roots who love Porthtowan. We bought the Beach Cottage for the stunning views over the beach and coastline beyond. We furnished the house to a high standard with 1 to 2 families in mind, so you can have a relaxing holiday in Cornwall.
