Quayside cottage was fabulous, as there were only of us which meant that we had the whole house to ourselves,, really near the beach and the local shop and pubs I would recommend it very much,, bonus was parking at the back of the house, as in Portreath it can be really hard to park sometimes,,

“Perhaps we should have done some more research before booking the holiday!”

Whilst I do perhaps expect a possible smell from being so close to any harbour I have never smelt anything as bad as this. and for the majority of the time. Even with windows closed the smell was actually in the sitting room. In the owners notes to the house there is an advisory that there is sometimes a smell as the seaweed dries out for a short time between tides, Apparently there had been a problem for over 10 years - Google 'Portreath Harbour smell' We got the feeling that the cottage was literally coming to the end of a busy season waiting for a good clean. It was missing various items in the kitchen or we didn't find them -tea strainer. sieve, colander & scissors. As there were only two of us we lived in the kitchen and managed, but if there had been more of us and had been warmer - needing windows open I think that we would have greater concern.
Mr Farquharson May 2019

“We were more than pleased to discover that the accommodation was even nicer than the photographs!”

Everything was beautifully clean and leaving the scones and cream and other ‘goodies’ was a lovely welcoming gesture. As described, the cottage is in an excellent position very handy for shops, pubs, beach and buses. We would certainly be very happy to return and would highly recommend this letting to anyone, who like us, wouldn’t accept second best! Thanks to the excellent housekeepers for keeping everything in tip top condition and being so helpful when I phoned them with a query. We hope to return next year.

“Superb location, had everything we needed.”

“Fridge "goodies" we're very welcome!”

Lovely cottage with lots of home comforts, making it feel like a "home from home"
Mr Oldfield August 2018

“Quayside Cottage is a relaxing and comfortable holiday home.”

The village of Portreath is friendly with several pubs and eateries but we particularly enjoyed Portreath Arms.
Mr Darby July 2018

“Fantastic holiday cottage in the perfect area, walking distance to the beach and pubs for my elderly parents.”
Dr Cunliffe March 2018

“The house was lovely.”

...in a great spot and really well stocked. However at this time of year it is inaccurate to at the that there are 2 bathrooms. The downstairs one didn't appear to have any heating and was in the extension and so was unusable because it was cold. I'm used to a downstairs bathroom...we have one at home. As a person who likes a bath I always go for house with a bath. The water temperature and pressure was just too low to run a successful bath. I'm a small person and could just fit in the bath width ways....5 foot 6 and 9 and a half as stone... Any bigger and you'd struggle to lie down in it. The water pressure and temperature wasn't the best for a shower either. So the house was lovely but disappointing that I couldn't have a nice bath and we couldn't use the second bathroom... I little electric heater in it would have helped. It was exceptionally cold weather... The heating was on in the lounge and kitchen....it needed to have been put on in the he bathroom and bedrooms as they took many hours to get warm enough time feel comfortable to use.

The property

A grand stand position beside the harbour and only a couple of minutes level walk from the sandy beach at Portreath, Quayside Cottage is the perfect venue for a traditional holiday beside the sea.

Located midway between St Ives and St Agnes on Cornwall's dramatic north coast, the seaside resort of Portreath is a natural playground.

You will love the convenience of Quayside Cottage as you drift to sleep listening to the lap of the sea and wake to uninterrupted views of the harbour and colourful fishing boats at dock. Within a few minutes walk is a beautiful beach which is life-guard patrolled during the main season.

You can swim in turquoise waters, book a surf lesson at the local surf school, explore fascinating rock pools or hunt for crabs in the harbour at low tide.

Also excellent for walkers, you can head straight from the front door along the south west coast path for tall granite cliffs and stunning views.

You might even catch a glimpse of a seal, dolphin or basking shark.

For a complete contrast in landscape, venture inland to Tehidy Country Park which has acres of woodlands, lakes and a golf course or hire a bike and explore the coast to coast mining trail from Portreath to Devoran on Cornwall's south coast. Return from coastal escapades to newly updated Quayside Cottage and relaxed coastal style accommodation.

Enter from the waterfront terrace into a modern and spacious open plan living room with a cosy wood burner, wooden flooring and plump settees.

Designed with families in mind, there are three well appointed bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, a separate shower room on the ground floor and DVD's, books and games for adults and children.

Patio doors in the sun-room room lead to a private, sheltered and enclosed courtyard garden with garden furniture and barbecue for outdoor living.

There are pubs, restaurants and shops within paces and visitor hotspots at St Ives, St Agnes, Padstow and Land's End are within easy reach.

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.
