I've been to this property a number of times. I love the location and the excellent views. It has everything that you need and very clean.Mark was really helpful as always.The only let down was the gate at the bottom of the garden was laying on the ground so had to improvise to stop my little doggies from escaping.

Excellent location, this property has everything you need for a lovely stay. It is big and the layout ensures you are not on top of each other. It requires a bit of tlc in places but this does not affect your stay. Thanks for a lovely break. The showers are great with brilliant water pressure. Beds really comfortable. Plenty of cooking equipment.

The location was perfect. However the views in the listing were inaccurate. We could not see the ocean from the back seating area as the hedge was overgrown. The table was not in great shape. Inside the beanbags provided in the living room were filthy as were the curtains and they were also ripped. The bathrooms were dimly lit and only 2 bedrooms had any hanging space. We still had a great family holiday, but the overall feeling of the property was tired and worn. Some TLC would go a long way.

Had an amazing weekend at the lovely Beach Cottage. Stunning views, great location and the property had literally everything you could need. There were 10 of us and our dog for the weekend and the house still felt huge, lots of room for everyone. Immaculate bedding and towels, fully stocked kitchen utensils, pans, bbq etc. lovely walk down the coastal path to the amazing Porthtowan beach, local supermarkets only a short drive. 100% returning for another break when we can.

This was our second visit, it's a great space for a large group, clean, tidy and comfortable with plenty of bathrooms.The views are spectacular, but it would be great if the hedge was cut so you can see the views from the living room and terrace.

The property was clean and spacious. Large bedrooms with storage and good quality linen. All the bathrooms are well fitted and easily operated. The large terrace was a good space for the family to sit together and the dining room was great for the family to eat together around the large table. Heating etc was easy to operate on the colder nights. The beach can be reached by walking but it's a challenging walk. It's a quiet area which is perfect for watching the sunset and star gazing. This property was good value for what we paid.

We had a fantastic stay at this property and only wish we could have stayed longer. The house was spotlessly clean, and the views of the sea from multiple rooms were incredible. It's conveniently close to the beach and all the restaurants and shops down there. The kitchen was fully stocked and was the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea overlooking the sea.Our favorite feature was the network of trails right behind the house, leading down to the beach and out along the cliffs. They're a bit tight and lined with brambles in places, so we'd recommend wearing pants (although my kids didn't heed that advice). They were a real highlight. We also loved exploring the rocks and hidden pools down by the beach that you can only get to at low tide.For meals, we can enjoyed both The Unicorn and the Beach Cafe Porthtowan, both of which were great.A wonderful place in a wonderful location. We'd return in a heartbeat!

The house has good potential, but unfortunately it feels like it is in need of some updating and maintenance. The mattress had visible stains, which was unpleasant and disappointing. The shower in the en suite was leaking, and the sink was cracked. I reported these issues to the host, but unfortunately they were not acknowledged.The decking also needs some attention, including updating and a fresh coat of paint. The hedges around the decking area are quite overgrown, making it difficult to properly appreciate what would otherwise be a lovely view.Overall, the property could be much more enjoyable with some general maintenance, cleaning and updating.The walk to the beach is not as straightforward as described it is challenging for younger kids or elderly people.

Excellent house, spacious and we kitting out for our multi generational group. Excellently equipped kitchen, bedding all fresh, quality and smelt lovely. We loved the location for the coastal path and surfing below the house at Porthtowan. Only point to make is the hedge really needs a good cutting back as can not see the sea and beach/great view from the decking/outside seating area which is a great shame as it’s such a super location. Excellent host, very helpful and speedy responses. Thank you
Great view from kitchen for painting the coastline

So glad you had a great stay at Beach Cottage. Apologies about the hedge, we had our regular trim planned for February (before the nesting curfew from March to September), unfortunately major storms hit the region in February and all suitable contractors were pulled into emergency work. The hedge will be trimmed later in 2026 when we are lawfully allowed to do so.
