“This was our 2nd time here, we will definitely be back.”

Lovely property with everything you need for a beach holiday in Cornwall, so close to the beach, 50 yards! Great views when having breakfast and dinners on the balcony Also great transport links to other parts of Cornwall. Everything you need to have a great holiday is included.

“This was our fifth time staying at Porth Beach House and we will be back again.”

It is such a good base for exploring the north Cornish coast. We love having the beach right on our doorstep and there are lots of other beaches in walkable distance too.

“Porth beach house was perfect for our family beach holiday.”

Enough space for our family of four to spread out and relax. Within minutes you were on the sand playing by the sea. Just fantastic! The accommodation was well equipped. We enjoyed our stay so much we booked again for next year.

- Melissa, August 2023

“Everything was great just the Mattress was.”

Very hard might need updating apart from that it was fantastic

Gary August 2022

“Fantastic location, comfortable and just what we were looking for!”

Neighbours was really friendly and helpful with local suggestions. Mermaid Inn does great food and takeaway so you can take back to the house if ya need to. A good Thai takeaway that does delivery is called Sawai Thai, on porth beach there is also a small hole in the wa that serves drinks and ice cream etc. Opposite the mermaid Inn (1 min walk from house) there's another bar, coffee shop and small shop full of lovely stuff). Will def return, a great week in a great house on a great child friendly beach.

“Great location for access to the beach and buses to Newquay and Padstow.”

The beach at Porth is fantastic! The house is as described and shown in the photos. I brought pre-cooked, frozen meals with us and was very thankful I took our electric cooler box as the fridge is a small undercounted fridge. Would definitely book again.

Louise July 2022

“A lovely terrace property, access off main road via pub car park.”

Fantastic views of the beach from the main bedroom window and ground floor patio. The house came equipped with everything you would need including - towels, cutlery, cleaning supplies etc... The cream tea was a lovely welcoming touch. The beach at Porth was one of the best I've ever been on. My only gripe was with the parking, which was an allocate space, but the car parking is very tight, especially for a big car and up a very steep hill.

- Louise, July 2022
Stuart July 2022

“The family and I had a lovely stay here for a week at the end of July.”

The house was clean and had everything we needed and felt like our home away from home. The photos show the house how it is but somehow don’t seem to do it justice. Being right next to the beach is amazing and definitely one of the best things about this property. It was great to have the sea views and to be able to sit outside to eat. The beach was family friendly, not too busy, and even though the tide went out quite a way it was still great. There are also lovely walks to be had and magnificent views to see. The Mermaid Inn pub opposite did food that was more than acceptable as well as reasonably priced and we ate here a few times. It was also not too noisy and neither was the sound from the road, which was also close. Overall we were really happy with our stay and may indeed book here again the next time we holiday in Cornwall.

Anne October 2020

“We enjoyed our holiday at Porth Beach House, in a great location, bright and airy and very clean.”

We did cut our holiday short due to the Lockdown, but that was our choice! The only little niggle and it was little, was the rug in the sitting room...Odd patches of the rug looked faded /stained, tho clean, it spoiled a nice room! Rachael was very helpful with directions, and the welcome scones jam and cream was a nice touch! We would certainly return again

- Anne, October 2020

Patrick June 2019

“Porth Beach House was absolutely perfect for us, Pub and Beach on our doorstep, Newquay a 20 minute walk away, a Bus stop to Padstow just around the bend, and a little further on, the beginning of a fabulous walk out to Porth Island and on to a lovely walk along cliff top paths to Watergate and beyond.”

The house is thoughtfully provided with beach equipment, and the kitchen lacks for nothing, right down to a Cafetiere and Garlic press, and welcome gifts were indeed very welcome. I thoroughly recomend.

- Patrick, June 2019
Audrey June 2019

“Lovely little house, very clean.”

Welcome gifts of wine and biscuits. Everything you could need provided. Could benefit by putting a handle on the wall in the bath for anyone who is a little unsteady, but that’s the only thing missing.very enjoyable holiday.

The property

Dreaming of lazy days by the sea and the freedom of the great outdoors?

Then where else would you want to be than on a breathtaking stretch of coastline with a golden sandy cove literally on your doorstep.

Lying two miles from Newquay's famous beaches and before the coast road climbs steeply heading two miles north to the magnificent surfing waves of Watergate Bay, home to the Extreme Water Sports Academy and an array of fantastic restaurants.

The quieter resort of Porth is well placed for a world of sun, sea and surf.

Set in a small terrace of modern houses at the head of the award winning cove and beside a beachside Inn that caters well for visitors, with crazy golf and a pitch and putt nearby, the convenience of the location is unrivalled. Entry at the rear of the property is straight into the galley style kitchen and on into a living room with floor to ceiling windows, beech flooring and contemporary furnishings.

A door leads out onto a railed deck balcony where you can sit and enjoy the fresh sea air and the activity on the beach.

Open tread stairs lead up and in keeping with the ocean side setting, the double bedroom captures a spectacular view across the cove and down to the sea, encapsulating a headland topped with a sparkling white Huer's hut where in times past a lone Huer would scan the sea for the silver pilchard harvest.

Both bedrooms and the newly fitted bathroom are fresh and uncluttered.

Just around the low headland is Whipsiderry beach with caves and rock pools to explore at low tide and the coast path offers miles of scenic rambles.

There is allocated parking for one car and extra parking nearby.

About the location

NEWQUAY

Holywell 6 miles; Perranporth 8.5 miles; Truro 14 miles; Padstow 14 miles.

Newquay is the home of the UK’s surf scene, boasting eleven beaches and over seven miles of golden sand, three major beaches, the National Surf Centre and an endless supply of rolling surf, making it a beachlovers and watersports paradise. The town, with its zoo, sea life centre and varied selection of restaurants and pubs, also promises a holiday to remember. For avid walkers, the South West Coast Path passes in both directions along a stunning coastline of high cliffs, hidden coves and yet more beaches. The quaint harbour and fishing village of Padstow is just 14 miles away, while Truro, with its museums, cathedral, restaurants, and cobbled streets, as well as the Eden Project, can be reached within a short drive. Picturesque St Ives and the Tate St Ives gallery is just a train ride away. In fact, because nothing in Cornwall is far from Newquay, it’s the perfect touring base.
