Luxury beach front holiday self-catering cottages in Portreath, West Cornwall on the North Cornish Coast.
Midway between St Ives and Newquay, the evocatively named Smugglers Cove Cottages are the sort of places you dream of finding when considering renting a holiday cottage in Cornwall – two properties, one sleeping a maximum of 8 people in comfort, perched just above the waves at the southern end of Portreath’s fabulous beach.
The lower of the two, Beachside Cottage, is a revamp of an original cottage on this site, with four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large kitchen, lounge and dining room, wifi and Sky Sports/movies. Plus a uniquely spacious outside terrace overlooking the beach, equipped with a warm outdoor shower, sun loungers and a large dining table for al fresco evening meals. Read more…
The second property, Clifftop Cottage, is built into the cliff above, which makes the most of the stunning views over the sea, beach and surrounding coastline. It’s equally well equipped, with wifi, Sky Sports/Movies, plus the same high-end kitchen appliances. There are three double bedrooms, each enjoying gorgeous sea views. A 100m balcony runs right around the property, sunbeds and sunshades, plus there is again a warm outside shower for rinsing off after the beach. Read more…
It would be hard to imagine two more perfect properties if you’re looking for a beachside holiday in Cornwall – or a much better location: Lovely Portreath is only 3 miles from the A30, and far enough off the main tourist route to be relatively peaceful, even in high season, yet within easy reach of lots of west Cornwall highlights, including St Ives, Falmouth and the Lizard peninsula. Not that we recommend you stray too far. With this level of comfort and an idyllic position by one of Cornwall’s best beaches, there’s really no reason to go anywhere. Just park your car in the designated spaces, toss your keys in a drawer… and relax!
