The property

The Black Barnacle is a superb coastal lodge nestled in the sought-after village of Portreath, Cornwall.

Ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a relaxing escape, this stylish retreat features a bubbling hot tub, a woodburning stove in the open-plan living space, and a private rooftop terrace offering spectacular sea views.

Step up into the contemporary living area, where you can unwind on either the corner or standard sofa and soak in the holiday atmosphere.

The well-equipped kitchen includes everything needed for a self-catered stay, with an electric oven and induction hob ready for the group’s designated chef.

Gather around the dining table for shared meals and laughter, or enjoy alfresco dining on the garden decking when the sun is shining.

After dinner, head up to the roof terrace to savour the panoramic views with a drink in hand, or take a sunset soak in the hot tub.

If the evening turns chilly, cosy up indoors by the woodburning stove and settle in for a film on the Smart TV.

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.

Please note, between the 5th January 2026 and 6th February 2026, The Terrace Restaurant and Golf Course will be closed.
The swimming pool and gym will remain open between the hours of 9am and 5pm daily.
