  • "A wonderful location and the property was probably one of the best equipped we’ve ever stayed in."

    Exceptionally clean too. A second bathroom or WC would be the only thing that could improve the stay.

  • "We have stayed at Kingsholm every year for almost a decade."

    We love the location and we have felt at home from home every time. Kingsholm is very well equipped and the village and surroundings have everything we need for a truly relaxing holiday. Our village favourites are, Blue Bar, Moomaid (ice cream), Tris Surf, Seasmiths (chippy), The village shop (post office, news, food), and the beach, of course. Slightly further away Greg and Lou's for a wider variety of traditional chippy food, and uniquely crispy chips - cooked in lard (I think) or vegetable oil. This year we went on a horseback hack at Reen Manor Riding Stables in Perranporth - recommended. I could go on and on but I'll finish by recommending the walk along the beach to Chapel Porth for an ice cream and a croque monsieur (or any of the other warm sandwiches).

  • "We loved our stay at Kingsholm and relaxed as soon as we walked through the door."

    The accommodation was cosy, comfortable, clean and well equipped. The owners tasteful furnishings made made it feel very homely. Kingsholm is in a great location close to the beach, shop and eating places. It was great to look at the sea when you pulled back the bedroom curtains. Nice garden area and private outside area with cold water shower, surf board rack, plenty of room for all your beach items.

About the location

PORTHTOWAN

St Agnes 4 miles; Portreath 4 miles; Truro 9 miles.

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.
