Porthcothan House

Impressive accommodation In a beautiful coastal location. This beautifully restored 6 bedroom house is set back from the road behind private gates and only a short walk down to a stunning beach at Porthcothan. The beach comes into its own at low tide when a myriad of caves and coves become accessible and you get the sense of the scale and rugged beauty of the Cornish coastline. The Owner met us on arrival (those who had made it through snow!) to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. The house has a spacious open kitchen, dining room, and conservatory area with an Aga oven, though we ended up mostly using the Aga hobs. The two lounge areas gave us a space to break out into a multimedia room - essential PlayStations for the teenagers plugged into the TV and a drawing room, for piece, quiet and a little guitar strumming. The bedrooms each had amazing bespoke beds as designed for the Savoy which gave us long peaceful nights sleep (perhaps aided a little by the New Year food and drink). All in all an amazing place that exceeded everyone's expectations.

We had a wonderful two week stay in Porthcothan House. The house is very spacious and homely, with all we wanted and needed. The light and views are glorious. The grounds were ample for, at one point, eleven of us plus two dogs – to play frisbee, badminton and sunbathe. Easy walking distance to the local beach plus short driving distance to many others (dependent on whim and wind for surfing). Many good restaurants again within a short hop in the car plus a very nice pub two minutes walk from the house. T & J introduced us to the house and how it worked and were there when on one occasion we needed their help. Absolutely fabulous; we would love stay again.

The house is fabulous and has lots of space. We had a family holiday for 7 studying/writing adults and it was perfect. The atmosphere is classic Cornish farmhouse. There is everything you could need to cook up a special meal and have a celebration. It was really great to have a food delivery already put away when we arrived. The beds are wonderfully comfy and the views down to the cove enchanting. The walks are fabulous and the area has the best of Cornwall. Wild windy cliffs and some gourmet food in Padstow. The trip was a real tonic and we would all love to visit again - immediately!

Porthcothan House provided very comfortable and tasteful accommodation for our family group, celebrating an important birthday. The bedrooms are spacious, all the equipment you could need is provided. In short, everything was to a very high standard. Porthcothan beach is lovely, and less crowded than most, and there is a footpath from the house to the beach which almost entirely avoids using the road. Although there are plenty of other attractive beaches nearby, we only used Porthcothan because it seemed the best, and is very convenient. The coastal walking is beautiful.

There is no better place to enjoy the environs of North Cornwall than Porthcothan House. You have a fabulous beach on your doorstep but many others nearby (our favourite is Hawkers' Cove, a real gem). There is Trevose Golf course, Padstow (with the Camel Trail and lots of delicious restaurants), stunning cliff top walks and other attractions for a rainy day. The house itself is superb with excellent facilities and beds. OUR 6TH YEAR. We keep coming back because we love it so much.

Porthcothan House is simply delightful. It is a house of distinction that provides a luxurious amount of space and comfort. It is presented beautifully with an attention to detail and quality that makes you smile.
