“The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped.”

The enclosed garden was great for the dog, as was the off-road track to the beach. Location excellent for beaches and coastal walks.

“Lovely holiday cottage.”

About 20minutes walk to Portreath and the beach which was a nice walk a long the old railway line. The pub across this road is also very handy. The cottage is well suited for dogs. We had a relaxed, comfortable stay
Ms Pomfret September 2019

“Lovely little cottage- the kind you start feeling affection for.”

The suntrap back garden makes it. Bikini swam off Portreath beach mid Sept- lovely! Bunk room titchy- had to get creative with sleeping arrangements, but sofa bed downstairs made that easy. Autistic son loved dog walking on Porthkidney and the seal sanctuary at Gweek. St Ives, the Tate and Porthmoer beach gobsmackingly stunning, but very peopley, even at the end of the season. Was a good deal all in all.
Mrs Lazzam May 2019

“The cottage was really lovely.”

We had everything we needed. It was quiet but not too far from anywhere. We will definitely be booking with Sykes again.
Mr Thorogood March 2019

“Nice comfortable cosy cottage in peaceful village location.”

Lovelly local pub across road.
Mr Gerson September 2018

“Copper Cottage is very nice in a good quiet location and on the occasion we contacted the owners about operating the TV they were more than attentive and very helpful.”

The kitchen is the best equipped we have found in any rental property, except for the lack of an ice compartment in the fridge. We didn't expect a freezer in the property but thought the fridge would have a small freezer compartment to make ice. Whilst we enjoyed our stay at the cottage sadly it did lack some areas of comfort in that there's no comfortable seating in the sitting room. The futon sofa bed serving as a couch is hard and most uncomfortable to sit on for relaxation. Likewise we also found the double bed rather small and the mattress less than comfortable for sleeping. The cottage was warm but the central heating programmer needs replacing as it is not possible to read the settings because the LCD (liquid crystal display) has decayed and cannot be read. Notwithstanding these comments we had a very enjoyable holiday in Cornwall and would consider staying at Copper Cottage again if the comfort issues were addressed.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We're very pleased to hear you had a good time. The owners have asked us to let know they have replaced the futon with a two seater sofa and have installed a smart TV. We look forward to seeing you again. Owner relations

“Great cottage!”

Location: although a mile from beach, it was not walkable so disappointingly we had to take the car everywhere. Great facilities in the cottage, no expense spared on fixtures and fittings. Even a pint of milk waiting for us after our long journey. Friendly helpful staff at the Bridge pub too!
Mrs Fifoot August 2018

“It was a lovely comfortable cottage for myself, my family and our dog.”

All amenities as mentioned and very clean. The cottage is in a lovely location with friendly local people and the local pub was very welcoming and served fabulous pub food. The beach at Portreath was a short 5 min drive away but was super to visit for surfing and dog friendly after 7pm ideal for beach dog walks after dinner.

“The cottage was very clean and well equipped a lovely weeks holiday.”

Thank you.

The property

Copper Cottage sits just over a mile from Portreath, a peaceful seaside retreat boasting a secluded sandy beach and a picturesque harbour.

The beach finds itself at the heart of the Cornwall surf and bodyboard culture, home to surf shops with equipment to rent, as well as offering lessons for any brave enough to ride the waves.

The Atlantic Beach cafe is well-known for its excellent food and atmosphere.

The village also offers a renowned bakery, several pubs and a village store.

Portreath also has three pubs - one of which overlooks the harbour and a smaller, sandy beach.

On the north side of the beach the harbour wall provides shelter and warmth for a fine tidal swimming pool.

Set amidst rocks and rockpools here children can also spend happy hours exploring marine life.

The wild and rugged beauty of the local cliffs provides another dimension for those on holiday.

Here you can walk and find solitude away from crowded beaches.

Buzzards circle, ravens soar and kittiwakes nest in their hundreds above blue seas where Atlantic seals sport in secluded coves.

The dramatic North cliffs, with distant views to Godrevy Lighthouse and St Ives are particularly attractive. Tehidy Country Park is located just outside the village, comprising of 250 acres of beautiful woodlands, lakes and miles of cycle paths together with a café and picnic area; while the adjoining golf course and two links courses nearby provide golfers with plenty of opportunities to test their swing.

Also nearby is the Cornish Goldsmith Centre, making and selling handcrafted jewellery where visitors can even pan for gold - well worth a visit! Step inside Copper Cottage and you will be greeted with a homely sitting room with exposed beams and a cosy wood burning stove.

The well equipped kitchen with dining area has everything you need for your self catering holiday.

Opt to eat in, step outside and dine alfresco in the enclosed gardens or pop across the road to the friendly local pub for a meal and try out one of the locally brewed beers.

Upstairs is the comfortable master double bedroom with pretty linens and little bunk bedroom.

A ground floor spic and span bathroom completes the inside space.

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.
