Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'spotless' and 'immaculately clean'. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.
The location is frequently highlighted as excellent, with the property being right on the beach and within walking distance to Newquay. The convenience and beauty of the location are major selling points for guests.
The property is generally regarded as comfortable, with several reviews noting the homely feel and the provision of amenities like baby gates, cots, and high chairs. However, one guest mentioned a very hard mattress, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are well-received, with guests appreciating the well-equipped house. Some guests suggested minor improvements, such as the addition of a handrail in the shower and comments on the small fridge, which slightly affected the score.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident through mentions of welcome gifts like cream teas, wine, and biscuits. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such gifts are subject to availability and not guaranteed.
About this property
Located on the beach front, this modern terraced house provides contemporary accommodation in the quiet resort of Porth, just two miles from Newquay on the North Cornish coast. With this beautiful cove right on your doorstep along with beach cafes and a pub, this is a fabulous choice for a beachside family holiday. Shades of seaside blue make the two lovely bedrooms on the first floor fresh and welcoming; spectacular views across the cove and down to the sea can be enjoyed from the master bedroom. Downstairs the sitting area is spacious and comfortable with plenty of light coming through the floor to ceiling windows and a door leading out to a railed, decked balcony where you can enjoy your favourite meal having prepared it in the fully equipped kitchen. Newquay is famous for its 7 miles of golden sands in this breathtaking stretch of coastline along with the surfing waves of Watergate Bay, home to the Extreme Water Sports Academy and Jamie Olivers Fifteen restaurant. Follow the trail of discs sunk into the ground around Newquay and discover the towns heritage from fishing port to surf mecca or take a boat trip from the harbour and admire Newquay from the sea. A little further away, you can hire pedalos and canoes and row across the boating lake at Trenance Park with its 26 acres of gardens, childrens play area and crazy golf. A wonderful choice for a family holiday whether you wish to relax and unwind or explore this fabulous area of Cornwall.
Newquay is the home of the UKs surf scene, boasting three major beaches, the National Surf Centre and an endless supply of rolling surf, making it a water sports 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 45 minutes. Picturesque St Ives and the Tate St Ives gallery is around an hour's drive or a train ride away. In fact, because nothing in Cornwall is far from Newquay, its the perfect touring base.

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.

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.
