Note: Regretfully, children are not accepted at this property. Note: Check in time for this property is 4pm.
Note: Minimum short break stay is 3 nights and must commence from a Friday. Please note that scaffolding is currently in place around the balcony area due to delayed works. Please refer to the photos for further clarification.

Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Off road parking for 1 car. Balcony with furniture. Sorry, no pets and smoking. Shop and pub and beach 1 minute walk. Note: No children accepted.
Region: Cornwall's visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tins, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Whatever the reason,
Town: Porthtowan is a small village resting on west Cornwall’s beautiful coastline, renowned for its Blue Flag beach, which at low tide exposes almost a mile and a half of fine, golden sands. Fringed by impressive granite cliffs, the beach is a popular surfing venue and is lifeguarded during the summer, making it ideal for families. Porthtowan is part of the St Agnes designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are some wonderful walks to be found, offering vivid scenery along the South West Coast Path, whether you choose to head east to St Agnes or west to Portreath. The towns of St Ives and Penzance, with their art galleries, restaurants and quaint harbours, are half an hour’s drive away, whilst Flambards Theme Park, The Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, and the Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station are just a few of the other diverse attractions scattered around this picturesque region. A great base for a varied family break.
