Carvannel Cottages

Carvannel Cottages is a 3-bedroom cottage near Portreath on Cornwall's north coast, sleeping five guests in a double, a bunk room, and a single. A hot tub in the enclosed garden and an open fire inside make it a solid option in any season.

The sitting room has a woodburning stove, and the kitchen and dining room are separate spaces rather than open-plan. One bathroom serves the cottage, fitted with a bath, shower over, and heated towel rail. A utility room handles laundry with a washing machine, and there is a dishwasher in the kitchen.

Outside, the lawned garden is fully enclosed - useful for the two dogs allowed at extra cost. A barbecue and garden furniture sit alongside the hot tub on a gravelled area. Off-road parking fits two cars. Portreath Beach, a sandy north coast beach with reliable surf and summer lifeguards, is 0.6 miles away. Godrevy Beach, the wide National Trust stretch at the east end of St Ives Bay, is 4.3 miles along the coast.

Portreath village has a pub, cafes, and a beach shop within walking distance. The Coast to Coast mineral tramway cycle route starts here and runs south to Devoran on the Fal estuary. The mining coast between Camborne and St Agnes is within easy reach, with clifftop engine houses and old mine workings scattered along the path.

Nearby: Portreath Beach (0.6 miles) and Godrevy Beach (4.3 miles). See our Portreath guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for dog owners paying the pet supplement and couples or small families wanting a hot tub break; less suited to larger groups, given the single bathroom for five guests.
