Thanks very much, we would love to welcome you back next time you are in Cornwall
The location of the property is superb. The property is welcoming and homely having everything you need for a relaxing stay. This is the second time we have stayed here and we just thoroughly love it.
This property was an excellent choice when choosing a base to stay in during our week in Cornwall. A very clean property throughout, with everything you need. We would definitely recommend staying there and should we be in the area again would be looking to book this property again.
2nd time here & great location. So close to beach & lovely overlooking the harbour watching local fisherman bringing in his catch.House has everything you could need.Lovely new Bathroom but does need a safety rail & antislip mat in the shower/bath.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Portreath. The property was lovely - clean, comfortable, spacious, well equipped and the location was really great. There was a cream tea awaiting us on arrival, which was a nice touch & very much appreciated. Would love a return visit.

Thank you for your review, we hope to welcome you back to enjoy our lovely location again soon.
The house was perfect for our needs. 2 adults and 2 children for a week exploring the local beaches. Gail was an excellent owner. The house is compact but had everything we needed. Thanks Gail.

So pleased you enjoyed the beaches and found the house comfortable. Thank you for your review, we hope to welcome you again soon
A fantastic stay in a lovely place. A real hidden gem, portreath is a quiet spot in cornwall away from the hussle and bustle but all that is in easy reach if you want to visit for a day!
But then come back to a lovely property and a little village with just what you need. A little shop for food and essentials, a great local cafe for a breakfast, the beach and a beach front cafe and the portreath pub for a fantastic meal out.
Great host and everything you need!
Beautiful location. Popping down to the beach at the end and of the day and watching the sunset is just amazing. The children absolutely loved being on ‘their beach’ rock pooling, playing in the caves, jumping over the waves and body surfing, well trying whilst watching and getting tips from the surfers. In the evenings their parents enjoyed looking up local properties for sale and dreaming of living there. Lovely Memories were made on this holiday.

Certainly sounds like you made the most of the location and the beach. Thank you for choosing Camellia Cottage for your visit to Cornwall and for your review
Great location and the rental is clean and usable , Let down somewhat by Portreath itself, Harbour is still used to drain grey water. , being tidal, the pong was obnoxious to some of our party at low tide when drying out, Note to landlord.....we think the dishwasher needs attention..it would,t stop but worked, Posotives outweighed negatives and overhall a great stay.

Thank you for your feedback. So pleased that you had a great stay :) I will certainly get someone straight onto the dishwasher to check if there is a fault. Unfortunately being harbourside we do have some normal harbour smells. Unfortunately the heat wave increased the intensity and also your week was just before the harbour was due to be dredged which removes the seaweed and also the associated smell.

Lovely House in a Wonderful Location
Cottage
Nice 3-bedroom house within 3 minutes walking distance from Portreath beach. Front windows overlooks the harbour and the stairs landing window overlooks Portreath bay and the sea.
Parking
Was easy to park along the same road as the house and there was more parking out on the main road.
Kitchen
Fully equipped kitchen with electric hob and oven and an 800-watt microwave. Blender and toaster, salt and pepper, tea bags, coffee and sugar are provided. There was also a pint of milk in the fridge for a much need cup of tea upon arrival. Cups/cutlery and glasses are plentiful. A Washer Machine with Drier was also a welcome addition. A dishwasher is also available but we never used it.
Connectivity
Broadband is provided via a BT hub fibre connection. Speed at time of stay is 50 down and 9 up which should suffice most usage. O2 mobile signal is almost non-existent inside the house but we used the TuGo app from o2 which was brilliant, if your network provides it Wi-Fi calling, Whatsapp or iMessage should also work.
Technology
Flat panel tv with HDMI blue ray in the living room was most welcome when it was raining outside.
Bedrooms
3 bedrooms, with a very comfortable double bed in the main bedroom.
Local Food & Takeaway
Local area has corner shop, bakery and a couple of restaurants. Justeat.co.uk gives you more options that delivery, very nice curry from Manha Spice House in Redruth.
Local shopping can be had from Aldi which is about a 10 minute drive back towards the A30 or there is a Tesco in Redruth which is about 15 minute drive.
Bathroom
Bath with very powerful shower which was nice.
Contact with Owner
Communication with Gail the owner, was excellent, via email, HomeAway messaging and text message. Information regarding the cottage was provided in advance, with more information at the cottage along with brochures for local attractions and events.
Overall
Would highly recommend this cottage, it is in a fabulous location and is very clean and tidy.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. We loved hosting you and are delighted you has a great time at Camellia Cottage
Accomodation excellent, & everything provided for a very comfortable stay. Location couldn't be better. Right on the port side & 2 minute walk to the beach. Fantastic safe beach for children with rock pools caves etc. Good scenic bus service from Portreath to Peranporth.
Wonderful views of the sea....right on the harbour......Great village with lovely walks from the doorstep. Cottage had everything to make it a home from home....fantastic
Brilliant location with the most beautiful sunsets, without even having to leave the house. The owner is very obliging and quick to respond to any emails. Parking can be difficult even though there is meant to be a space opposite the garage it’s often taken but we were able to come to an arrangement with the management at the Waterfront Inn to park there fir a small fee, which was well worth it. Perfect beach with surf, rock pools and caves.
