  • "We stayed at The Old Piggery, with our two dogs, over Christmas whilst visiting our daughter's family who live close by."

    From the photos of the lounge our first thoughts were "ooh this looks a bit quirky" but the colour scheme works really well with subtle hints throughout the other rooms. What a lovely, comfortable, well-equipped property this is. We were able to prepare and cook a full "Christmas" dinner for four people - something we wouldn't have attempted in other self-catering accommodation we have stayed in. It was lovely to find the house decorated for Christmas and a seasonal welcome hamper. We like to take the dogs for a morning walk on the beach at Portreath just 10 mins drive away followed by coffee/hot chocolate at The Pod cafe. We can recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the Porthtowan/Portreath vicinity.

  • "The accommodation was clean and comfortable with all mod cons."

    The modern sofas were not very comfortable for us oldies though they looked in keeping with the cottage. The beds were very comfortable - would love to know they make and type of mattress on the king size bed! We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Piggery

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.
