Terrigal Gilbert Lodge

Terrigal Gilbert Lodge is a log cabin near Porthtowan for five guests, in the hamlet of Sinns Common close to Globe Vale Holiday Park. One double bedroom and one triple bunk room share a single bathroom - the bunk arrangement concentrates three sleeping places in one room, which may suit a family better than unrelated adults. Host Sophie manages the booking.

Wi-Fi, a washing machine, a large private garden and a deck are included, and up to two dogs can stay. There's no dishwasher, and parking is not available on site, so guests should check where they can leave a car nearby.

The Mineral Tramways cycle and walking network passes close to the lodge, following old mineral railways through the Camborne-Redruth mining belt. Trevaunance Cove is 4.0 miles away, Trevellas Cove is 4.2 miles from the lodge and Portreath Beach 4.4 miles - all reachable by car in around 10 minutes. Porthtowan itself has the Blue Bar on the sand and the Wheal Coates engine house walk along the cliffs. The Blue Hills Tin Streams at Trevellas, one of the last working tin-streaming operations in Cornwall, is about 4 miles north.

The guide price starts from £1,433 a week. Terrigal Gilbert Lodge held a 4 out of 5 rating from nine reviews, with cleanliness, equipment and comfort each scored 4.
