Porthtowan Guest Suite

Kea House in Porthtowan is a B&B guest suite hosted by Molly and Ben, set in a surf village on Cornwall's north coast between St Agnes and Portreath. The property sits less than 0.6 miles from Porthtowan Beach, a Blue Flag beach with seasonal lifeguard cover and reliable Atlantic surf.

The suite has a private bathroom with walk-in shower, parquet floors, and a TV. A tea and coffee maker, electric kettle, and hairdryer are provided. The property includes a wood burner - a practical addition for cooler months. Free WiFi and free on-site parking are included. Check-in is from 15:00, check-out by 11:00.

Outside, a sun terrace, garden seating area, and picnic spot give options for outdoor time. The property is within easy reach of the Blue Bar, one of Cornwall's best-known beach bars, built directly on the sand at the south end of Porthtowan Beach.

The coast path runs along the cliffs in both directions from the village. Walking south for about 2 miles reaches Chapel Porth and the dramatic Wheal Coates engine house ruins - one of the most photographed stretches on the Cornish coast. The village sits within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape UNESCO World Heritage Site. Redruth and Camborne are about 15 minutes south for everyday shopping, and Truro is roughly 20 minutes east.

Nearby: Portreath Beach (2.6 miles) and Trevaunance Cove (3.4 miles). See our Porthtowan guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for couples wanting a quiet coastal base with free parking and a wood burner for cooler months, a short walk from Porthtowan's Blue Flag beach. Less suited to dog owners or guests needing step-free access, since dogs aren't accepted and the suite isn't step-free.
