  • "We had an excellent two week stay at Hillywych Studios."

    Michelle your cleaner was lovely and welcoming and the house was spotless. Thank you for our welcome goodies, very much appreciated after our long journey. We couldn’t fault anything, such a comfortable place to stay we wished we’d booked for longer. Len your neighbour was really helpful when we got a huge lobster and we needed a huge pot to cook it in. He directed us to the Portreath Arms who were great. Your beds are really comfy as is the couch and chair. Thank you so much, it’s beautiful and well thought out

  • "Wow. We had a fantastic time at Hillywych Studios."

    The accommodation and facilities were spot on. Everything you could want/need and more. And even a lovely cake awaiting us on arrival. Perfect for our family (2 adults, 2 kids and a dog). Portreath is stunning. Lots of lovely walks. Plenty to do and places to visit in the surrounding area. The food at the Portreath Arms was really good. Book, if you can as they get very busy. No dogs in the restaurant area though, so you’d need to go early and try and get a table in the bar area for food if you have a dog. Breakfast at the Pod Cafe was also really tasty. We ordered pizzas via Just Eat from Real Pizza. Amazing, authentic Italian pizza. The Tiramisu was great too and all delivered super fast. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

  • "This is our second stay at Hillywych and it is still as lovely as ever."

    One niggle was the hot water tap; which is a great idea, but doesn't always produce boiling water, so when my other half was making his morning coffee it was tepid before he started drinking it ! However, in the grand scheme of things, this is not a massive issue (maybe a small back-up electric kettle ?) Also, bigger bath towels would be nice as the ones you have aren't very large to be honest. But again, not a deal-breaker. This is a great location, off-road parking, is very well equipped, has a lovely secure garden for the pup, short walk to a great pub and the beach. All in all, a fab holiday and I am sure we will be back again next year. PS Great cake again - thanks so much !

  • "Lovely location, extremely close to the beach."

    Off road parking is a bonus. Barbecue and outdoor shower available but as we stayed at the end of October not used. Outdoor space would be great in the summer months but we found the decking and steps to be quite slippy. This could do with cleaning and would then be great, as wouldn’t want to fall. Everything we needed inside, but with four of us, was a bit of a pain waiting for hot water to re heat after two had showered. Please don’t let that put you off though. The welcome cake was lovely and well needed after a long journey, and the owners were great when we had a problem with the back gate not shutting properly. Would definitely recommend and use again.

    Thank you for the feedback and i am glad you enjoyed the cake. I am sorry the decking and steps were slippy, it is a contant battle down here to stop everything going green! Property Owner

    Bed very comfortable and bedding was the best we've slept in. We loved our stay. Only thing that would be useful is an outside light for dark nights Thank you

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. I’m so pleased you found the studios comfortable. Sorry, the switch for the outside light must have been turned off. There’s an internal switch by the front door. My apologies. Property Owner

    Fantastic location and very well equipped with everything you need Pub is a couple of minutes away and the nearest beach (which is served by various coffee shops and cafes) is just a 5min walk. Tesco was just a couple of miles away (with petrol station) but there is a Costcutter and Bakery opposite the pub - all very handy indeed The beautiful cake that was waiting for us was a very welcome sight after a long journey Thank you

  • "We have absolutely loved our week at Hillywych Studio."

    It was exactly as described, perfectly clean, comfortable and presented beautifully. We could not fault it. The local beach and amenities were all amazing and very close by. The kids (7 and 10) enjoyed the proximity of the playground and park. The beach was incredibly clean and picturesque. The kids loved exploring the rock pools and swimming baths that were revealed at low tide. The studio was in a lovely, quiet spot in perfect walking distance to the beach, excellent pub, shops and fish and chip cafe. Also very well placed to explore St Agnes and surrounding area. The quality of the accommodation and local food was great. Portreath is very welcoming and we would definitely come back!

    Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you had a great week at the studios and enjoyed the beach. It’s really great to hear that you found our village welcoming. Thank you for being such great guest, we look forward to hosting you again. Property Owner

    The welcome cake was appreciated. The outside shower/hose is a bonus with sandy dogs. We did not find the sofa or the chairs provided that comfortable though. The sofa sags a bit and could do with replacing.

  • "We had a great time at Hillywych Studio."

    Very minor issues: some weeding would make everything "shine" even more and the settee, whilst knowing that it's recycled, it does need attention to the actual seating. Overall, we had a great time and we hope to be back again next year.

  • "What an amazing place to stay !"

    Great location, parking right outside, lovely comfortable interior and a sun-trap garden; pretty much everything you could wish for. I actually said to my other half that I didn't want to leave, but I think my boss would have had several words to say about that ! The Portreath Arms pub just at the end of the road is a fab place to eat and drink. I highly recommend staying at Hillywych and really hope that we can get back again soon.

    We’re really glad you enjoyed your stay at the studios. We’re very lucky to have such a nice pub at the end of road. Thank you for making the time to review. We hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

There is a lovely sandy beach that is dog-friendly year-round with some restrictions during the summer vacations.

During low tide, large rock pools are revealed that are great for a cold-water swim, or you can take a dip in one of the many rock baths that were carved out for Lady Basset in the 18th century.

A quick stroll from the studio will take you to several great (dog friendly) pubs, pop-up food stalls, cafes, shops, beaches, the harbour, and cliffs.

About the location

PORTREATH

Truro 14 miles; St Ives 15 miles.

With its sheltered harbour, beautiful Portreath was, in the 1800s, a hive of activity and industry as a major tin-exporting port. Today, the village attracts visitors from around the world with its wild and rugged coastline. High cliffs, secluded coves and sandy, surf-washed beaches typify the area while all around are reminders of the area's rich industrial heritage. Portreath offers a small fishing harbour, shops, a number of pubs, three cafés and a Chinese restaurant, while its safe, sheltered sandy beach is a popular attraction. For a great day out, visit the cathedral city of Truro with its cobbled streets, shopping centre, theatre, museum and great restaurants, just 14 miles away, or travel a few miles along the coast and follow the vast expanse of sandy beach, which leads down to Hayle and on to St Ives. A delightful holiday location.

Note: Dogs are not permitted upstairs. They are welcome on the ground floor and in the garden but not in the carpeted areas or bedrooms.
