Beachside

Beachside is a four-bedroom cottage in Porth, set on a private road about 30 seconds' walk from Porth Beach. The property sleeps eight across two king-size bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms and two twin rooms.

The ground-floor kitchen and dining area has a double electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and a kitchen island with built-in wine cooler. Upstairs, the sitting room has bi-fold doors opening onto a balcony with views toward Porth Beach - fitted with two sofas, an armchair, a beanbag, and a Smart TV. All bedrooms have luxury linens. A first-floor family bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower. The utility room has a washing machine, tumble dryer, and sink.

Outside, a front-facing terrace provides space for al fresco dining, and an outdoor shower handles sandy feet. Parking is available on site.

Whipsiderry Beach is 600m north - a cliff-enclosed sandy cove with rock pools and year-round dog access. Tolcarne Beach is 0.7 miles south, where The Wedge cafe sits on the sand. Porth itself is on the northeast edge of Newquay, about a mile from the town centre. Watergate Bay is a 20-minute walk north along the coast path, and Fistral Beach is 1.5 miles south.

Best for two families sharing, since two of the four bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms and the balcony looks toward Porth Beach. Less good for guests wanting to bring a dog or stay connected, as the property is not dog-friendly and has no wifi.
