    “I left a message in the comments book which basically covered everything.”

    Lovely position, near beach. Road to it very narrow, Sykes say 3 parking spaces but only one when you get there and it states this in the property folder. Family member burnt his hand on a faulty radiator which later fell off the wall as brackets literally melted. This tripped the switch leaving us with very little working, including hot water in two bathrooms. Hard to contact anyone and had to use phone in nearby pub to leave message.

    Lovely position, near beach. Road to it very narrow, Sykes say 3 parking spaces but only one when you get there and it states this in the property folder. Family member burnt his hand on a faulty radiator which later fell off the wall as brackets literally melted. This tripped the switch leaving us with very little working, including hot water in two bathrooms. Hard to contact anyone and had to use phone in nearby pub to leave message. Maintenance made live wire safe but was unable to fix/ replace. Left with one electric shower only do struggle for my elderly mother. Lovely welcome pack of cream tea on arrival, best hot tub and hot tub maintenance ever experienced. Homely feel, decor and comfort. I’m sure we would return again but only if Sykes can promise all facilities are in good working order and give clarity on parking space/ spaces?? Also, give clearer directions please as I used Google maps to find exact address.

Tolcarne is an excellent, mid-terrace holiday home sitting on the coastline of Porthtowan, Cornwall.

Tolcarne is ideal for a family looking for the best of both worlds on their holiday, thanks to its surrounding tranquil, rural setting and close proximity to the ocean.

Inside, you'll be wowed by this superbly designed lodging, before heading to the kitchen, which has an assortment of contemporary appliances inside its elegant units and is well-fitted for any event; it even includes a dishwasher for a quick clean-up after dinner!

When delectable meals have been prepared, bring them over to the dining area, which adequately accommodates up to eight guests; ideal for a family gathering at the end of the day.

After dinner, continue to the sitting area, which features a Smart TV and three sofas, making for a lovely space for some quality time with your loved ones.

As day turns to night , choose one of the four immaculately appointed bedrooms to retire to, the first of which is on the ground floor and consists of a double with an en-suite wet room.

Continue upstairs to find the master bedroom, the ideal retreat for those seeking a little more privacy, thanks to its wall-mounted TV, en-suite shower room, and private balcony!

Two twin bedrooms are also nearby, one with a high, vaulted ceiling, offering a sense of elegance and the other with zip/linked beds for more flexibility.

All of the bedrooms have coastal touches, reminiscent to the local area, and are close to a superb bathroom, where serene soaks in the bath can be enjoyed.

Behind the home is an enclosed yard with steps leading up to a bubbling hot tub where you can have a soothing dip and soak the day away; on some days, you can even hear the waves crashing nearby!

Porthtowan is not just a terrific location for your conveniences, but it also has some amazing sights, such as a selection of beaches and access to the South West Coastal Path, which allows you to trek along the amazing St Agnes Heritage Coast; it is simply lovely!

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.
