Porthcothan House

Porthcothan House is a 6-bedroom house near Porthcothan Bay, sleeping 11 across 5 bathrooms. The property sits 800 metres from Porthcothan Bay beach, with Treyarnon Bay 1.3 miles further along the coast and Constantine Bay 1.8 miles to the south.

The house has an open fire, a BBQ, and an enclosed garden. Parking accommodates 5 cars on a private driveway. Two dogs are welcome. Dishwasher, washing machine, and Wi-Fi throughout. Changeover is Friday.

At 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, this is best for large family gatherings or multi-generational groups that need genuine space between guests. The ratio of beds to bathrooms avoids the usual morning bottlenecks. The Porthcothan valley is quiet and rural, without a pub or shop within easy walking distance, so having your own vehicles is essential.

The North Cornwall coast path runs above both Porthcothan Bay and Treyarnon, giving direct access to the cliff walks in either direction. Newquay is about 30 minutes south and Padstow 20 minutes east, both with reliable restaurants and surf hire. The property works for extended stays and multi-family bookings where self-catering genuinely needs to function as a group operation.

Not great for anyone wanting to walk to evening meals - this is a drive-to-pub location, and the coastal road is unlit at night.
