“We had a lovely week here with our family.”

Safe access to the beach through the camp site next door. House was clean and comfortable.

“Thank you for a lovely holiday.”

The property suited us well.

“The Beach Halt was a lovely place to stay with friends and family.”

It was very clean and very well presented. The kitchen / lounge is spacious and easily accommodated 7 adults .. the garden caught the late afternoon sun so was lovely end to the day . What it did lack, and why we gave it a 4* there was insufficient hanging space for clothes, not all bedrooms had mirrors and there is a shortage of wine glasses. Whilst these are small points they do affect your time there. The location is lovely and a short but hard 15 min walk from the town and beach. We cut through the caravan park field which was just down the lane .. they had happy hour on our return from the beach so was a much needed resting point and treat!!

“This is a nice house and we had a great holiday but it needs some tweaks/improvements.”

The crockery/cutlery needs replacing- we had 6 cups and only 2 teaspoons. This isn’t enough in a house for 10 people. The listing mentions a BBQ which there was no sign of. It also says there is a log cabin- which is a shed which was locked. There is only one small wardrobe in one of the bedrooms- no wardrobes at all in any of the other rooms so consider this when you’re doing your packing! There is an iron but only a tiny ironing board. The cleaner showed up at 9.40am on check out day- check out is 10am so I don’t think coming early is acceptable. We did have a great holiday and the house is walking distance into Perranporth (if you go through the camp site next to the house) so a very convenient location. We were given great instructions to get to the house and the bushes leading up to the house were trimmed whilst we were there making the drive a lot easier. Prior to this it was very overgrown and was scratching the cars.

“We had a wonderful stay at The Beach Halt - the perfect house for a family holiday - the welcome gift was a lovely surprise and the toys, games and DVD’s were much appreciated by our 4 year old grandson!”

Being only a stones throw away from Perranporth it was the ideal location. We loved it - highly recommend it.

Sarah September 2023

“We all loved our stay at the beach halt.”

The house was beautiful with great views from the bedrooms and very spacious with everything we needed. Location was great too, short walk into the town and to the beach.

- Sarah, September 2023
Katy September 2023

“A beautiful property, the owners were really accommodating and the information provided by Sykes was clear and very helpful.”

The family and I have already discussed another booking to the beach halt next year! Thank you!

Bryan July 2023

“We loved the house, it is spacious, modern, spotlessly clean, well maintained and well equipped.”

Perfect for our large family group. The twin bedroom in the roof is huge and has some toys which is a lovely touch. Walking distance to the high street and the incredible beach. I highly recommend this property. Thank you for making our holiday special. Looking forward to coming back soon.

- Bryan, July 2023
Alison June 2023

“The property was almost perfect, lots of items for the kids to play with.”

The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you needed. The access road to the house was at times dangerous, cars coming down the hill were coming too fast. There was also no blind on the velux window on the top floor, with no means of keeping iit opening as it was roasting up there. We had a great time, apart from that, a fabulous family get away!

- Alison, June 2023
Alison May 2023

“A lovely house in a little lane backing onto a family campsite.”

The house was pretty well equipped with lovely towels and bed linen and most kitchen things we needed (no oven gloves or scales unfortunately). A BBQ was advertised and as good weather was forecast (and delivered) we had planned to use it but unfortunately it was out of use and not replaced whilst we were there. However we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Layout was great for us (2 families and a grandparent). Some nice touches included beach toys, a lovely welcome pack and The owner messaged me directly before the holiday which was a lovely touch. I would recommend, thank you

- Alison, May 2023
Tara May 2023

“Had a wonderful time!”

It exceeded our expectations, house was pristine. The walk to town was not easy with a pushchair, that was the only downside and nothing to do with the house at all! Thank you so much! Really enjoyed our stay!

“Not 600m from the beach,wet room sink needs unblocking as the water drains very slowly, leaving residue.”

- Michael, June 2022
Nichola April 2022

“This house is incredible!”

We had the best time the only downside was that we had to leave ! I wouldn’t hesitate booking this property again !

Catherine December 2021

“The cottage was immaculate.”

The Christmas decorations outside and the tree for us to decorate were a lovely touch. Plenty of cups, plates and cutlery, along with use of dishwasher, washing machine (which thankfully we didn’t need). Hot chocolate and candy canes were a hit with my kids. Thanks

- Catherine, December 2021
Julie October 2021

“A great place to stay - lovely house, the showers were amazing!”

House felt very spacious and was well equipped with everything you need. Would definitely come back and stay here again.

- Julie, October 2021
Ben August 2021

“We had a wonderful stay at the beach halt, such a beautiful house and so well resourced; our children loved the toys upstairs and the beach equipment and I couldn’t fault the kitchen equipment as it had everything we needed.”

A great location and loads of room for two families. If we had two wishes we would have loved more hanging wardrobe space and some blackout velux blinds would really help the children sleep on those light summer evenings!

- Ben, August 2021
Emily July 2021

“Perfect location and beach house.”

Spacious and clean. We all loved it!

Winton May 2021

“The family really enjoyed our stay there.”

Would go there again . The only problem was the downstairs shower was temprementil with the temperature

- Winton, May 2021
Janette May 2021

“Fabulous, large house.”

Well equipped and clean. Only a couple of negatives to feedback. The walk from The Beach Halt to Perranporth is longer than 10 minutes with small children and a buggy, some of which was along a busy road. The desk/chair on the 3rd floor is sitting against a bannister. Within a few minutes of arrival we found our 22 months old child climbing on to the desk from the chair (there is then space to plummet to the ground floor). We immediately moved the desk back and put the chair elsewhere. A recipe for disaster! Please move permanently!! Otherwise a great holiday had by all.

- Janette, May 2021
Vivien September 2020

“Great property within walking distance of centre of Perranporth.”

You can walk through the campsite as a shortcut which is at the back of the property, accessed from the lane. Property is very well equipped, comfortable beds, good showers, well insulated and plenty of space

- Vivien, September 2020
Lesley August 2020

“Beautiful, contemporary house specifically catering for large families.”

Everything provided in the house for a fabulous beach holiday. We all had a fabulous holiday.

- Lesley, August 2020
Hayley July 2020

“Amazing house, had plenty of space for a group of 8 of us.”

Facilties were lovely, plenty of kitchen equipment and the location was fab only 5-10min walk to the beach which save taking a car anywhere. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived would definitely be staying again.

- Hayley, July 2020
Natalie December 2019

“Beautiful house for family Christmas get together and we had a wonderful time”

Robert August 2019

“Fantastic holiday home, loved the location near Perranporth beach but the fact it's nice and quiet at the house!”

All 3 generations of family thought it was great and we had a wonderful week away.

- Robert, August 2019
Jenna August 2019

“Perfect house.”

We stayed a week, 8 adults, 3 babies and a 4 year old. It didn’t feel tight at all. It’s about a 20 minute walk with pram and 4 year old down to the beach and town. House is well stocked with everything, very clean and finished well. We had a very nice relaxing week here!

- Jenna, August 2019
Syd July 2019

“A spacious, very well equipped and furnished property in an excellent location.”

Ideally situated for a wide variety of activities and visitor attractions. The excellent beach and a good choice of shops, restaurants and takeaways are a comfortable 15 minutes walk away, with children. We highly recommend this property which comfortably accommodated ten of us for 14 nights. The owners have thoughtfully provided a number of books, games and toys for the children.

- Syd, July 2019
Craig May 2019

“The Beach Halt is a newly finished property and therefore has a fantastic standard of décor and usability.”

We stayed as a large group of 3 families including 5 children under 4 and the space and location could not have been better, we therefore had many highlights of our stay there. The ability to all sit comfortably in a clean and child friendly living area, have ample sleeping space and be able to walk to the beach with all the buggies made it a very convenient place to stay. The standard of décor made it a very comfortable place to stay and the owners really had thought of everything with additional items being provided for your use: we used the Bluetooth speaker, had a bbq one night and the box of toys for the kids was a great touch. Perranporth itself provides some lovely days out at the beach at the local cafes/restaurants which are all easily accessible via a buggy friendly 15 minute walk. Further afield we enjoyed days out at the National Maritime Museum - Falmouth, Lappa Valley Steam Railway, The Eden Project, Healeys Cyder Farm and the Seal Sanctuary all of which are within a 40-50 minute drive making the property a great base to explore some of the many attractions Cornwall has to offer. Thank you once again to the owners for providing this wonderful property, we certainly wouldn't hesitate to return!

Jacqueline April 2019

“A beautiful detached property which more than fulfilled our expectations for a last minute family weekend away.”

Airy, tasteful decor. Large living area with fold back doors to the patio and perfect sided garden for our grandchildren to run around. Beds were super comfy with high thread count linen and fluffy white towels in the bathrooms. Everything was of a high finish with added touches of a great games cupboard for the children and the adults and a lovely welcome pack of food goodies which was greatly appreciated. Great communication from the owner who even texted us during our journey to say that the house was ready earlier for our arrival. Just would have loved a guest book to write in to pass on our thanks! Cannot recommend highly enough.

About the location

PERRANPORTH

Newquay 9 miles; Truro 9.5 miles.

Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path. Once known as the source of the finest tin, the community still retains reminders of the rich heritage with abandoned pump houses, mine shafts and workers’ cottages. The local Blue Hills Museum and Perranzabuloe Folk Museum are both well worth a visit to understand the fascinating history of this coastal area. Further afield are the miles of sandy beaches at Crantock and Holywell Bay, and the breathtaking coastal walks around St Agnes, much of it owned by the National Trust. A perfect holiday base in Cornwall, with an abundance of activities to suit everyone.

Please note: no worker bookings allowed at this property.
