About this property

no3 Porth Farm Cottages, Mawgan Porth.


Rustic Charm and Coastal Adventure in the Heart of Cornwall.

Nestled on a scenic hillside overlooking the Laherne Valley and just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, this unique cottage combines traditional character with the warmth and charm of a classic Cornish retreat.
The Cottage :
No3 Porth Farm Cottages is one of a collection of eight restored stone cottages forming a picturesque courtyard with communal gardens, making it the perfect haven for families, couples, and nature enthusiasts seeking a peaceful getaway. Converted from old farm outbuildings, this basic, traditional Cornish cottage is full of character and charm, with simple furnishings and a homey feel. It is an unmodernised cottage, retaining its original rustic character. With charming features from the 1970s, including a quaint kitchenette and bathroom (with a bath and shower combination), it offers a nostalgic escape from modern life. An open fireplace and stand-alone heaters provide warmth and comfort in the absence of central heating.
The cottage has a welcoming feel and we have kept the family-friendly set up to make your stay as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. It sleeps up to six and is best suited to families rather than groups of adults or multiple couples.
There are 3 bedrooms : Upstairs you will find one queen-sized bed in the main bedroom and a second bedroom with three single beds, ideal for children or siblings sharing. Downstairs there is a third bedroom with a single bed for a grandparent, teen or someone who prefers their own space.

Had a wonderful stay in this idillic cottage. Had everything we needed for a stay in Cornwall. The kitchen was well provisioned with crockery, pans and essentials. We were blessed with good weather and the cottage is ideally situated with just a short walk to the beach.

We loved staying in Helena's cottage. All the personal touches which make her cottage so warm, welcoming and full of individual character were all a delightful change from the usual 'generic' holiday cottage experience. As a family of six we settled into a cosy 'home from home'. Our children found other children to play with in the adjacent cottages which is always an advantage.The wonderful beach at Mawgan Porth is a ten minute walk away...perfect for small children with its rock pools and soft sand. We explored several other coves and beaches nearby, as well as walking to Saint Mawgan to enjoy the Japanese Garden and the charming historic village.We would definitely return and look forward to our next stay!

A lovely, well appointed cottage with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The cottage is located at the top of the village with a nice walk down to the beach along with the must visit Retorrick Mill. Good communication from Helena and a very easy check in/our process.

This is a beautiful little cottage, decked out beautifully and exceptionally cosy. We spent a few days here for a wedding and couldn’t have been happier with the property as a base. Easy walk into town and to the beach, very clean, and very easy to check into.The host Helena was super friendly, very welcoming, and very diligent — checking in to ensure we had all the info we need and always being very communicable.If you want a true taste of Cornwall and its hospitality, I can’t recommend these cottages highly enough. Thank you so much!

Our first trip to England—and to Cornwall—could not have been more delightful, and No. 3 Porth Farm Cottages was a perfect home base. Helena was an exceptionally helpful and thoughtful host, and the cottage was exactly as described: simple, charming, comfortable, and full of character. We especially enjoyed the warmth of the cottage itself—cooking a few of our own meals, settling into the space, and enjoying the quiet charm of the courtyard and surrounding cottages. Mawgan Porth is a beautiful village in its own right, but it is also wonderfully situated for exploring some of the most breathtaking places along the north Cornwall coast. Whether you want quiet, secluded coves or the more iconic, well-loved sights, this location gives you easy access to both. We left surprised by just how magical Cornwall felt, and deeply grateful for such a lovely place to stay.

Very lovely stone house with a lot of soul and lovely vintage furniture. For kids it’s perfect to play in the garden in front of the house and enjoy a meal on the garden table. The nature and closeness to the beautiful beach is so relaxing and breathtaking.There is everything you need in the house even an oysteropener!Helena was a great caring and very helpful host.
