Porth Beach Villa

A four-bedroom villa in the Porth area of Newquay, sleeping eight across three bathrooms. The cottage sits on Alexandra Road with a private driveway and an enclosed rear garden - useful for families with dogs, as dogs are welcome here. The villa has a BBQ on the patio and full appliances including a dishwasher and washing machine.

Inside, the layout suits larger groups: four bedrooms spread across the house, three bathrooms, and Wi-Fi throughout. Changeover day is Saturday, with check-in from 4:00 pm and check-out by 10:00 am. A pub or shop is within a mile of the villa.

Whipsiderry Beach is 500m from the front door. It is a sandy north-facing beach with sea caves and rock pools exposed at low tide - different in character from the bigger surf beaches further south. Tolcarne Beach is 0.9 miles and Great Western 1.1 miles, both reachable on foot or by the land train that runs in summer. For the wider Newquay area, Fistral's surf school and the town's fish-and-chip restaurants are under 2 miles.

Best for families or two couples sharing who want a dog-friendly base within walking distance of a quieter beach. Less good for those looking for a surf-facing property - Whipsiderry is sheltered and not a surf beach.
