    “On arrival it was a struggle to open the main door.”

    When entering we had noticed lack of cleanliness windows were all smudged and marked mirrors were also dirty too, cobwebs found everywhere. The downstairs toilet light was constantly flickering when using it. The upstairs landing light also flickered, the master bedroom main light was not working at all (but got replaced when got in touch with maintenance), the main bathroom had broken floor tiles, the second set of double doors in the living area was a wrestling match to open close and lock so ...

    When entering we had noticed lack of cleanliness windows were all smudged and marked mirrors were also dirty too, cobwebs found everywhere. The downstairs toilet light was constantly flickering when using it. The upstairs landing light also flickered, the master bedroom main light was not working at all (but got replaced when got in touch with maintenance), the main bathroom had broken floor tiles, the second set of double doors in the living area was a wrestling match to open close and lock so we didnt open them again, there was a chip on the hob in the kitchen, all the lamp shades need cleaning or replacing as they were dirty, the hot tub cover was covered in bird droppings which had not been cleaned in a while, they had used slate surroundings the area so be aware that you'll need some foot wear getting in and out of the hot tub, I'd also recommend an umbrella whilst in the hotub to avoid getting bird dropping on you. It should really have a canopy over it like one of the neighbouring hottubs has. Could do with replacing sofas badly worn and sunken and lingering smell off dog ( which i understand it was a pet friendly accomadation but could be cleaned properly) there are some good poits though, the beds were comfy the hotub it self was nice, when your not getting bird droppings on you, the showers in bath main bathroom and ensuite were good. The wifi helped alot as it is a complete signal deadspot, plenty of cutlery and crockery provided. We would stay again if a few upgrades and general maintenance were done. We paid 850 for the week and although was cheap for the accommodation you can see why it was cheap.

The property

This stylish, semi-detached holiday home of 11 Towan Valley is situated on the coast in the peaceful Towan Valley Resort, on the outskirts of Porthtowan, Cornwall.

The abode is great for a family of six searching for a break with easy access to the region's sights, whilst also hosting welcoming interiors.

Climb the steps up and enter this holiday home after parking up in the off-road space in front of the dwelling.

Upon entering, take a seat on one of the plush sofas in the living/dining room and relax in front of the TV, where you can enjoy your favourite movie with your group.

Proceed to the kitchen, which features minimalistic fixtures and a variety of gadgets, including a handy washing machine and dishwasher!

The group's appointed chef will have a blast conjuring up culinary delights to savour at the dining table or on the front deck in the sunshine.

After a long day, freshen up in the cloakroom before ascending the staircase to three wonderful bedrooms.

The main bedroom has a zip/link king-size bed, a TV, and opens out to a balcony as well as a convenient en-suite shower room; the other bedrooms are equally well-furnished, with one having a double bed and the other having twin beds.

The accommodation is completed with the family bathroom, which is well-equipped for those evenings where you want to relish a soak in the bath.

The property's private hot tub is a delight, where peaceful dips may be enjoyed at the end of a long day.

Walk or drive a short distance into the centre of Porthtowan, where you'll find a variety of attractions, including a beautiful beach perfect for surfing and home to the iconic Blue Bar and Unicorn on the Beach pubs.

Take a trek along the South West Coast Path to the St Agnes Heritage Coast, where the spectacular vistas of Chapel Porth Beach, St Agnes Beacon, and Wheal Cotes await you.

Continue to St Agnes, home to  Saint Agnes Museum, SUP in a Bag adventure tours, along with many eateries, such as the St Agnes Fission Chip Shop and the famed St Agnes Bakery.

Why not visit Portreath, which has a sandy beach with surf classes, the Feadon Wildlife & Education Centre with animal encounters, and a trail leading to the magnificent Carvannel Downs?

Perranporth and Newquay, farther along the coast, are great places to visit for seaside escapades; alternatively, enjoy a unique outing at the city of Truro or take a tour of the Eden Project in St Austell.

11 Towan Valley is a superb choice for a family holiday in Cornwall.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

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.
