Beachside Porthtowan

Beachside Porthtowan is a three-storey cottage in Porthtowan, sleeping six with sea views. The first floor has a king-size zip-and-link room that can convert to a twin, plus a separate bunk room, while a king-size bedroom occupies the whole second floor.

One bathroom serves all three bedrooms, so mornings need some coordination with three rooms sharing it. The cottage has WiFi, a dishwasher and a washing machine, along with a wood burner for cooler evenings. Parking is provided. There is no hot tub, and dogs are not accepted.

A private garden gives the group outdoor space away from the cottage's three floors. Porthtowan's surf beach and the coast path are both within a few minutes' walk of the front door, with the village pub and shop closer still.

Trevaunance Cove is 2.9 miles away, Portreath Beach is 3 miles away and Trevellas Cove is 3.2 miles away, all worth a visit for a change from Porthtowan's own sand. The Blue Bar on Porthtowan beach and the Wheal Coates engine house walk are both within easy reach.

Eighteen reviews give the cottage a 4.8 out of 5 rating. Its mix of king, convertible and bunk beds suits a family more than three couples expecting matched rooms.

**Best for:** Families wanting sea views, a private garden and flexible beds within walking distance of Porthtowan beach.

**Less good for:** Groups needing more than one bathroom, step-free access or a hot tub.
