Cober Cay

Cober Cay is a 3-bedroom townhouse in Portreath, sleeping 4 across 2 bathrooms. Bedrooms are laid out as 1 king-size and 2 singles, with an open-plan living space and a separate games room on the ground floor. Portreath Beach is 300m on foot - a sheltered sandy cove below the old harbour entrance that is calmer than the big exposed Atlantic beaches further along the coast. Parking is directly outside the front door.

Portreath is a former industrial harbour on the north Cornish coast, now a quiet village that sits on the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. Engine house ruins and mining trails are accessible on foot from the village, and the South West Coast Path runs along the clifftops above. Godrevy Beach is 7.9km and Gwithian Towans is 8.7km - both long, open Atlantic beaches suitable for surfing. St Ives is roughly 20 minutes by road and Newquay around 30 minutes.

The property is rated 4-star. It has a BBQ, garden, dishwasher, and washing machine. Dogs are welcome. Rated 3.7/5 from 8 reviews, with 4/5 for cleanliness and location and 3/5 for equipment and comfort.

This property is good for small families or groups of 4 who want a village base with beach access and low driving distances across north Cornwall. It is less suited to guests expecting high-spec interiors or a sea view from the property.
