It is in a prime position overlooking Porthcothan Bay (Nampara Bay in the BBC series "Poldark"), 600m from the beach and Coast Path, 2 miles from Constantine and Trevose and 5 from Padstow.

Restored over 6 years and let since 2005, the house is elegant, light, spacious, tastefully furnished, full of character and has a lovely atmosphere. It has 6 well proportioned bedrooms, 5 bathrooms (one with twin steam/shower) and sleeps 11 – but is also perfect for 2.

The sitting rooms are warm and comfortable, the kitchen suitable for a professional chef and the dining room and conservatory ideal for entertaining.

Wonderful stay

By Leo M on 02-Sep-2024

We had a truly wonderful stay at Porthcothan House. There’s a very peaceful feel about this property and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anybody thinking about a staycation in Cornwall. The owner's communication was first rate and we wanted for nothing at the property.

Porthcothan House -- our introduction to Cornwall

By Kirke H on 21-Jun-2024

We were three couples, all seniors, good friends who have travelled together before. All of us enjoyed the visit, found the house very comfortable and appreciated the many great recommendations by the host. The coast trail hikes in both directions were beautiful and two evenings' catering by your private chef was fantastic.

A perfect house in a great location

By Matt T-B on 06-Apr-2024

We have just returned from our third Easter break at Porthcothan House, a 4 generation family group who all love it, the 2 year old in our group said he never wanted to go home! The house is very well appointed, large enough for a big group to spread out but great to be together in too, especially at meal times. The bedrooms are big, the beds massive and super comfortable and the views to sea a real treat. There are plenty of bathrooms, four baths no less! It’s close enough to the sea to walk down in your wetsuit which we did often, and enough showers to all get warm when you get back. All in all it’s a perfect house in a great location with very friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. Thank you!

Wonderful place to stay

By Camilla W., East Sussex on 30-Aug-2023

Lovely house, super location to the beach and the Coastal Path for walking and all that North Cornwall has to offer. The owner was very helpful and thoughtful. Nothing was too much trouble.

Our new favourite place

By Nigel E. on 28-Aug-2023

A truly beautiful house in a perfect location. The house is a perfect blend of old and new, with plenty of period features sensitively preserved alongside all the modern creature comforts. Very well equipped kitchen with a huge Aga at its heart, opening into the great family dining room, which then opens into the pretty well maintained walled garden. You hardly need the other three beautifully furnished reception rooms! We all enjoyed our stay immensely and the owner was very responsive and super helpful at all times. Thank you - we’ll be back next year!

Magical Holiday Home with views to match

By Nigel D. on 03-Jul-2022

Apart from the stunning views of the Countryside & the Sea from the house this rental ticks all the boxes for a fabulous holiday. Beach is 6 minutes walk, great walks of coastal paths nearby & the house itself is spacious, beautifully furnished & very well equipped. Would thoroughly recommend this rental for a relaxing holiday.
