A beautifully decorated apartment, suited the three of us and our dog very well. Places to sit in the sun and shelter from the rain when needed. The beds are very comfy and everything we needed for cooking was in the kitchen. The location is fantastic, just a couple of minutes' walk and you're on the beach. Thank you Jane for your wonderful accomodation and welcome.

The Red Buoy is a unique place, full of character and homely creative touches. During the hot hot weather, the flat itself was thankfully cool (except for the bathroom and kitchen, but that was the sun's fault!) and the covered outdoor space was very welcome. The bed is comfy. It's a stone's throw to the most beautiful beach. I wish we could have stayed longer

A lovely location.

An ideal location in a corner of Cornwall that feels relatively untouched. A quirky hideaway that has all you need for a holiday. The owner was lovely, and very helpful.

A third visit to this small quirky 'cabin'

If you are not looking for all the latest mod cons but are content to be close to the beach and coastal path this is a great place to stay.

Small and querky accommodation in an ideal beach location

We had everything we needed for a holiday by the coast. Great for swimming (and surfing) and beautiful walks along the coast in both directions.

Unique beach house near the beach

Perfect stay with 2 adults and 7 years old child. Unique beach house attached to Jane's house. For people who appreciate a creatively made housing without too much luxury but with a great vibe. And a 2 minute walk to the porthocothan beach.

Fantastic unique place to stay

The location can not be beaten, right on the beach of Portcothan Bay. This is one of these places you're kids will remember when they grow older "the time we stayed in the house with all the stuff found at the beach". It has great summer, beachie vibes and Jane is a lovelly host. Its a long way from where we usually live otherwise this would become our favourite weekend spot for sure

Quirky and fun

Unique and arty - we came with our bikes to cycle along the Camel Trail and loved this hideaway, with its beautiful art-works and beachcombed wooden shelves. The steps up are not for the faint-hearted (though we're both in our seventies and managed it OK) and don't expect all mod-cons (eg a dish-washer). Very comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen and lovely hot shower, though, and Jane was very friendly and accommodating. Porthcothan beach is on the door-step and the small shop nearby is useful for bread and milk. A great experience, recommended.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
You pay for the beach side location which is outstanding....accommodation which is decribed as 'quirky' is more like what was cheap 1970s student bedsit style accommodation... worn, run down decor and furniture....nowhere comfortable to sit indoors....Supposedly sleeps 4.... only if you don't mind a complete lack of privacy ... kitchen cramped and difficult to use... outdoor seating areas cramped and overshadowed by shrubs and trees - Expedia advertises it as having a hot tub....non-existant - parking entails reversing up a long narrow drive....access to accommodation from car is up an irregular and wobbly in places flight of stone steps. Disappointing accommodation but with a refurb it has massive potential.

Loved it!

Our family of four (two boys aged 4-6) loved The Red Buoy - enough space and good that it’s separate from the main house as the kids weren’t quiet! I'd liked to have stayed longer to explore but most time was spent enjoying the lovely surf, beach and child friendly stream that runs alongside. We saw the best sunset ever on arrival as the bay faces due west. From reading the amenities list/reviews we were looking forward to accessing the beach directly through Glencoe’s enchanting wild garden, slate steps and driftwood gate - especially handy for quick visits to The Red Buoy’s toilet for our 4 year old and for carrying body boards. Instead we were a bit disappointed when Jane directed us to the beach via her driveway, main road and lane that runs past the shop next-door. Perhaps she was concerned about the kids slipping on the steps but we all enjoyed using the charming ones we encountered. The flat was cosily furnished with beach finds, comfy beds and country throws, a well equipped kitchen and good shower. The bathroom roof let the sun in to help dry swim wear. I loved Jane's artwork and 3D frames made from driftwood and wrecking items. No tv/phone reception but wi-fi worked and the boys were happy with children's dvds kindly provided, along with kids’ surf boards, plenty of loo-roll and local info. Jane is forthcoming and The Red Buoy is an absolute delight - we didn’t want to leave and would stay again in a heart beat, although we need to practise reversing!

Our short stay at the Red Bouy

We stayed at the Red Buoy for three days in June 2019. The accommodation itself is located round the back of the house and up some steep uneven steps: it was rainy when we arrived and we found the slate steps up to the annexe, as well as the decking to the front door, to be somewhat slippery. From the inside, the accommodation offers no scenic views, which we would have preferred, although the decked terrace out front offers a view of the garden and opposing hillside. The living room is pleasant and the furniture comfortable. There is also a table and chairs. The kitchen is small but adequately equipped, the full-size fridge/freezer was particularly useful. However the taps in the kitchen are fixed quite low to the small sink making both the sink and taps somewhat awkward to use. Also we found the kitchen heats up like a greenhouse on sunny days due to its having a polycarbonate sheet roof. We found the bed to be comfortable with good storage and hanging space in the bedroom. The bathroom was good: the shower had a strong spray, there was hand soap and toilet paper provided, as well as bath towels, but no hand towels. There was wi-fi, though it was a weak signal and dropped out intermittently. There is no mobile phone signal whatsoever. There was a file, in the living room, with useful information in it, that was very helpful. There is a long narrow driveway up to the accommodation that is best to reverse up, or, if the proprietor's car is not there, you can execute a five point turn, as reversing back out onto the road is potentially hazardous. The best feature of the accommodation, by far, is its close proximity to the beach: which is accessed through the garden gate. There are ten or more steep and uneven slate steps as you go through the garden. Had we known about this we may have considered not booking as one of us has mild issues with balance. Overall we found the accommodation to be quiet, clean and adequate, and we enjoyed our stay; however we are unlikely to be staying at this accommodation again.

Wonderful and cosy place. So quiet and peaceful as well. The little galley kitchen really made me want to cook dinner there but we were only on a long weekend and there are too many great places to eat and drink all within easy distance - plus fish n chips on the beach as the sun sets. Really easy to find the place and once you’re there it’s such a simple walk back along the drive and you’re at the beach. Lovely coastal walks in both directions from the property as well.If you like to mix it up then there’s not just Porthcothan beach on your doorstep but you have really easy drives to Harland Bay, Mother Ivy’s, Constantine Bay, Booby’s Bay, Mawgan Porth and Watergate Bay. The coastal walk up around the headland above Tregirls is particularly beautiful. We ate at Rafferty’s in St Merryn (superb), The Cornish Arms also in St Merryn (very nice) and then got our fish n chips from Padstow as we know they’re very tasty from there and stay hot enough on the short drive back to Porthcothan to enjoy them al fresco.Jane was lovely- easy comms and we had no problems during our stay at all. Suffice to say we will be looking to rebook later in the year.

A comfortable and bohemian hideaway by the sea - a magic location and great facilities! Really enjoyed the extensive dvd collection when it was raining and loved how close the beach and village shop was. Jane was so very helpful and kind when I left my reading glasses behind. Would love to visit again.
