Poldreth

About this property

Poldreth is a delightful cottage resting in Porthtowan, Cornwall, perfectly placed for exploring the scenic St. Agnes Heritage Coast. Ideal for families and friends, this inviting retreat boasts a toasty woodburning stove, elevated views of the coast and proximity to the beach. After pulling up and parking at the front of the house, you’re greeted by the sight of Poldreth looking out over the sweeping sands of Porthtowan and the rugged beauty of the north Cornish coast. The front garden frames the property with a decked area and lawn, and just beyond, a footpath leads directly to the beach without the need to cross a road, making seaside adventures effortless.

Step inside and feel the warmth of this inviting cottage. The sitting room welcomes you with a wooden floor softened by a textured rug, complemented by sofas and an armchair that invite you to unwind by the glow of the woodburning stove. Natural light streams through the windows, framing elevated views of the beach and surrounding countryside fields, a constant reminder of your coastal setting. Move through to the kitchen/diner, where sleek white fixtures and a wooden table create a bright and stylish space for gathering. A breakfast bar offers a casual spot for morning coffee, while a large window beside the dining table provides a picture-perfect backdrop of rolling scenery as you share meals and plan the day ahead.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a true highlight, featuring a Juliette balcony that opens to sea views and an en-suite bathroom complete with bath, overhead shower, basin and WC. Another double bedroom offers lovely views across the landscape, while the bunk room is ideal for younger guests or friends sharing. A contemporary shower room completes the layout, ensuring everyone has space to refresh after a day outdoors. Outside, the rear garden offers a patio and lawn for alfresco dining, while an outdoor shower adds a practical touch for sandy feet after beach walks. In the evenings, savour the fresh air and relaxed atmosphere as the sun dips behind the horizon in this inviting outdoor space.

When it’s time to explore, the St Agnes Heritage Coast is on your doorstep, where dramatic cliffs and winding trails reveal hidden coves and panoramic sea views. Head to Truro for a day of culture and charm; wander through its cobbled streets, marvel at the soaring cathedral spires, and browse boutique shops before enjoying a riverside lunch. For a taste of traditional Cornwall, visit Portreath, where you can stroll along the harbour, watch surfers ride Atlantic waves, and indulge in a Cornish pasty at a beachside café. Each destination offers its own unique experience, all within easy reach of your coastal haven.

Poldreth is more than a holiday home – it’s a gateway to unforgettable moments by the sea, with views and comforts that make every stay special.

Porthtowan is a small village resting on west Cornwall’s beautiful coastline, renowned for its Blue Flag beach, which at low tide exposes almost a mile and a half of fine, golden sands. Fringed by impressive granite cliffs, the beach is a popular surfing venue and is lifeguarded during the summer, making it ideal for families. Porthtowan is part of the St Agnes designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are some wonderful walks to be found, offering vivid scenery along the South West Coast Path, whether you choose to head east to St Agnes or west to Portreath. The towns of St Ives and Penzance, with their art galleries, restaurants and quaint harbours, are half an hour’s drive away, whilst Flambards Theme Park, The Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek, and the Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station are just a few of the other diverse attractions scattered around this picturesque region. A great base for a varied family break.
