Petroc

Petroc is a 3-bedroom cottage at Gwel An Mor, a private development on the coastal edge of Portreath, sleeping 6 across 2 bathrooms. The cottage comes with a private hot tub and access to the development's shared outdoor swimming pool - a useful combination when the Atlantic is too cold or rough for swimming. A BBQ is included for fine-weather evenings, and the enclosed garden is suitable for dogs.

EV charging is available on site, which is increasingly rare in smaller Cornwall properties and worth noting for electric vehicle owners. Parking, WiFi, a dishwasher, and a washing machine are all included. Changeover is Saturday.

Portreath Beach is 900 metres away - a compact sandy beach backed by a harbour wall, used by surfers and bodyboarders when the swell cooperates. Godrevy Beach, part of the same north Cornwall arc of sand, is 8.1km east along the coast road. Gwithian Towans - dunes backed by National Trust land - is 8.8km. The cottage carries a 5-star rating on Sykes from 4 reviews.

Suits dog-owning couples or families who want private outdoor facilities alongside beach access. Right for anyone with an EV who finds charging a limiting factor. Less good for groups wanting a large social space - at 6 guests across 3 bedrooms, this is a mid-sized cottage, not a large house.
