Downstairs there is a cosy living space with comfortable seating. We have an electric look-a-like woodburner, so is great for winter stays too.

Infront of the house is a large garden shared between our cottage and 2 others. With unobstructed views of the valley below and out to sea, this space is the perfect spot to relax during summer stays. What's more, the sun sets out to sea in front of you, which only adds to the tranquillity!

Porthtowan is a secluded beach town with a great selection of cafes, restaurants, pubs and takeaways. Several of these are right on the beach and are perfect for having a relaxing drink at sunset! There is also a small convenience store. The beach is very popular with surfers and has consistent surf for most of the year. There is also a surf school for beginners and lots of places to rent equipment.
5 minutes drive around the headland is the larger town of St Agnes, which also has a wide range of shops and places to eat & drink. Alternatively, you can walk round to St Agnes via the beautiful coastal paths.

The Neighborhood:
The house is in a quiet and peaceful terrace of houses, just 10 minutes walk down into the centre of Porthtowan and the beach.
