“The cottage was lovey and clean,and ...”

The cottage was lovey and clean,and all that you would want. But found that the photo of the Drive deceiving as you could not open the doors both sides. Also thought there would be good areas to exercise my dogs from the description. So it meant a car journey when we walked to the local farm shop it was okay but the roads are country lanes and with two small dogs would have liked more open spaces to exercise them.

“Great cottage in a gorgeous and ...”

Great cottage in a gorgeous and quiet landscape. Everything that you need is there, the best thing for us was the log burner and there was the added bonus of allowing pets. The only thing is that they don’t allow your dog upstairs and I think they should consider a stair gate or something.

“Lovely little cottage”

We have recently visited this little cottage in Porthtowen and were really impressed. The cottage allows dogs and was one of the main reasons we stayed here. But it was very dog and child friendly. The owners lives next day however we only saw them once or twice but could pop round of we wanted more eggs. There was fresh flowers on arrival, eggs and even emergency dog food! The place was very clean and has a 2 car drive. The only down side is that nothing is really walkable to get to. Porthtowen is about a 2-3 mile drive and has a lovely beach. But you do have to drive to get to places. Would defiantly stay here again!

“Close to two excellent beaches and ...”

Close to two excellent beaches and a local farm shop, great to chill inside or outside property. It was a dog friendly area with some good local walks. We really wanted to have down time and this property has all the right ingredients to do so.

“Totally Amazing”

Clean, well equipped cottage in an ideal location. The owners live next door and were extremely friendly and helpful. The cottage was both pet and child friendly and the owners also left finishing touches such as eggs, milk, wine and flowers on arrival. Fantastic butchers close by with amazing Cornish pasties and also a local bakery with homemade cakes. Location was ideal for touring and Porthtowan beach is great for surfing or relaxing. We will be re-booking next year and highly recommend this cottage.

The property

Just two miles from Porthtowan and fabulous beaches along North Cornwall’s dramatic coast.

At the end of a small terrace of Cornish cottages is Appledore, set in a quiet hamlet offering spacious and charming holiday accommodation with two sitting rooms, one with a woodburner, as well as three comfy bedrooms, this Porthtowan cottage in Cornwall is ideal for a family holiday.

This Porthtowan cottage also offers a well-designed, fitted kitchen with dining area that opens to an enclosed cottage garden, where children and pets can play safely while the adults relax with a drink on a sunny afternoon and with both a front and rear garden, there is plenty of outdoor space.

On the first floor of this Porthtowan cottage is a double bedroom with an en-suite, along with two further bedrooms, all complete with fine views over the countryside towards St Agnes Beacon.

Porthtowan has a wonderful Blue Flag beach offering immaculate, pale sands; loved by surfers, it’s also lifeguarded during the summer season, making it safe for family fun.

Set amongst dramatic cliffs, the length of coastline around Porthtowan provides breathtaking walks along the South West Coast Path towards St Agnes or Portreath, with much of the land well-kept by the National Trust.

The city of Truro has a lot to offer all members of the family including the Hall for Cornwall, the Royal Cornwall Museum, and the starting point for boat cruises to Falmouth via the stunning Fal Estuary, along with plenty of retail therapy opportunities, bars, restaurants and cafes.

Land's End, St Ives and Penzance are other superb coastal destinations within easy reach.

The cottage is situated just half a mile from the Bissoe Trail, a cycle path connecting the north and south coast along a safe and beautifully scenic route; perfect for an active family day out.

A fabulous, well-presented cottage near the sea, perfect for families and lovers of Cornwall’s well-loved beach life.

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.
