About this property
Perfectly located for beach holidays and for touring and enjoying the beautiful north Cornish coast, this comfortable holiday home is set in a truly spectacular location overlooking Porth Beach and Porth Island just outside Newquay and provides views of some of the most dramatic coastline in the UK. Designed as an upside down house to make the most of these stunning views, the three bedrooms are all on the ground floor with the master double benefiting from en-suite facilities and French doors leading out onto the patio. The twin bedroom also has similar doors leading out to the patio. The spacious open plan living room is on the first floor with a well-equipped kitchen and a sitting and dining area which leads out onto the balcony, perfect to sit out on at the end of the day and enjoy the amazing sunsets that are regularly seen on this stretch of the coast. A short stroll takes you to the steps leading directly onto Porth Beach and from here at low tide you can walk as far as Watergate Bay, a wonderful walk to be rewarded by an excellent lunch at one of the top eateries there before returning on the beautiful coastal path. Porth Beach itself is a lovely sandy beach with a sheltered aspect being protected by headlands on both sides. Make sure you take time to visit Porth Island which is accessed by a footbridge and has prehistoric earthworks and the remains of an ancient settlement as well as amazing far reaching views north and south of the coast. With two good restaurants within a short walk as well as a pub actually on the beach and an excellent tapas bar opposite you have plenty of options when it comes to eating out. A great location to enjoy a well-earned holiday at any time of year.
Porth is a small seaside village on the outskirts of Newquay. The village offers a shop, cafes, restaurants and a pub on the sandy beach, plus nearby is the South West Coast Path, which boasts spectacular scenery. Watergate Bay, with its rolling waves, surf schools, cafe and pubs, is a short walk away, and the popular resort of Newquay with its beaches, watersports, pubs, restaurants, zoo and aquarium is well worth a visit. Fistral Beach and surf centre are three miles west of Porth, whilst the surf training school at Lusty Glaze Beach is actually within the village. The charming fishing village of Padstow, along with Bodmin Moor, the city of Truro, Falmouth and the world-famous Eden Project are all within easy reach, making Porth an ideal base for a Cornish getaway.

Julie
The house was spotless when we arrived, cleaned at the highest standard. Trouble opening the key box, very stiff and difficult. Had to ask a passer by and he also experienced a problem, but got there in the end. Directions not the best upon arrival at car park, very confusing as there was another number 4. Feel this could be improved on, with more thorough directions. No hand rail on first flight of stairs from ground floor. This was a very big struggle for the elderly. And for me too as I have arthritis. Could do with a hand rail in the shower too, in the en-suite. The single beds were very easily moved, so had to be very careful if resting to put shoes on or something, as they were sliding at the slightest touch. Despite these few negatives, we had a wonderful time and the views are truly spectacular.

We originally had booked for one couple and two singles in the other two rooms. However the parking complications made it impossible for a second car to book a parking space and so the couple who were traveling from Scotland cancelled and the price was shared between the two singles. The location and facilities were top notch thanks to the cleaning contractors who provided a wonderful welcome pack of Cornish treats and a cleaning pack.

Perfect Location. Views all over the Porth Beach & Bay. Very Clean & had plenty of kitchen things including toasty machine & trays to take picnics outside. Gardener came while we was there all well kept grounds. Overall the holiday home was fantastic & we would be certainly look to returning. Top patio door broken still I have seen a lot of reviews saying the same prior to our arrival. Took over 6 weeks to make contact for extra parking & Sykes was not interested at all one member of staff saying itâs nothing to do with them bit frustrating when you have just spent £1000 with them. Parking has gone up massively since we had booked from £45 to £85 for the week which is crazy to say the hotel isnât even open hence why we couldnât get hold of them. Overall the perfect weeks break only issues with Sykes itself.
