About this property
Porth Cottage
Introducing Porth Cottage- a property that is packed with Cornish charm and is estimated to be over 300 years old. As you walk in through the traditional cottage doorway into the lounge, you’ll notice the sea themed décor and gorgeous wooden beams. Guests can sink into the comfy sofas in the main lounge with underfloor heating, or continue into the den, to snuggle in the armchair by the electric log effect fireplace.
Porth Cottage sleeps up to 4 guests in two sea and beach themed bedrooms- a double and twin room, both with chunky wood furniture and pitched ceilings. A family bathroom with grey retro tiling offers shower, WC, hand basin, and heated towel rail.
Meals can be taken around a farmhouse table, or outside in the courtyard garden fringed by Cornish palms and shrubbery. The cottage kitchen boasts all modern appliances such as electric hob and oven, microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge/freezer. Porth Cottage conveniently has a washer and dryer located in the utility room, fantastic for cleaning down after a day at the beach. A second WC can be found located on the ground floor.
Porth Beach is only a two-minute walk from the property- it offers a fantastic beach for swimming, and easy access to the Cornish Coastal Footpath. The Mermaid Pub is nestled at the back of the beach, as well as Estrella Morada tapas bar. The cottage has a large parking space, which can accommodate two cars. Porth is a perfect location for day trips into the centre of Newquay, the surfing capitol of the UK, or for venturing further up the coast to visit the foodie heart of Cornwall- Padstow.
The property is just a short distance from Newquay Airport in Cornwall, which now offers direct flights to Southend, Gatwick, Manchester and more - making weekend or short breaks to Cornwall even easier.
Whether you are looking for a family week in the Cornish sunshine, or a storm watching weekend away in the Winter, Porth Cottage provides a perfect base and tranquil retreat. Its quintessential Cornish décor conveys cosiness, charm and a rustic comfort you’ll fall in love with. The fully enclosed courtyard is ideal for visiting with one well-behaved dog (for a small fee), it's just asked that they are kept downstairs and off the furniture.

The Cottage is a wonderful cottage to stay in
The Cottage is a wonderful cottage to stay in. Location to the beach is brilliant, we visited it every day with the dog - she had a blast. The cottage has everything you need - although a guide book would be useful. Bed very comfortable!

Wonderful cottage in the perfect location.
It was cosy, full of character and very comfortable. All needs were catered for. The cottage was very spacious and was a home from home. We loved every minute of our time there and would love to return. The fudge and biscuits on arrival was a welcome treat. We would 100% recommend Porth Cottage for anyone wanting a tranquil stay in a beautiful location.

Had the most amazing stay here
Had the most amazing stay here. Porth Cottage is a VIBE! Cosy, comfortable, immaculate and the bedding smells absolutely blissful! Well equipped and toasty to come back to after a wet and wild coastal walk! I lived up the road as a kid and staying so close to where I grew up was so lovely! Loved the little quirky bits in your home. It was a delight staying here. So much so, I don’t want to go home!

Lovely cottage, hosts have thought of everything.
Perfect spot for a short walk into Newquay and Porth Beach on your doorstep. Very easy to get to using trains and busses. Great communication, and easy to follow check in.
We wanted to stay pretty central in Cornwall and Porth was great. We wanted to see lots of different places. The house is clean, warm and well equipped. Would definitely recommend

We have had an incredible eight nights here
We have had an incredible eight nights here. The weather has been fantastic and being so close to the Beach was perfect for our three year-old and us too. Many happy memories made as a family, to which Porth cottage certainly contributed. Spacious, homely and everything you need. Already booked for next year.

We loved your Cottage.
Beautifully decorated and had everything we wanted for the week. Cottage was so unique to us as we’re from Melbourne Australia, and not many places look like this. Newquay was a good starting point to set out our travels each day. Thank you again.. Flowers and shortbread were lovely…

Highly recommended
Highly recommended. If the owner forgot something we never found it! This is a very special property, easy for the Beach and equally the town. Going uphill is testing, but the coast route is fine. We got our steps in. Would come again if down this way. Absolutely 10 out of 10.
