Porthtowan Retreat

Porthtowan, Cornwall

8

The Porthtowan Retreat, nestled in the picturesque region of North Cornwall, offers an idyllic escape for up to eight guests, combining the charm of rural living with modern comforts. This enchanting holiday home boasts breathtaking views of Porthtowan beach, with its spacious open-plan living area on the first floor featuring a warm oak floor, high vaulted ceilings, and a cosy sofa area perfect for relaxation. The design invites the outdoors in through vast retracting doors that lead to a large terrace, allowing guests to enjoy the stunning countryside and ocean vistas while unwinding in style.

The heart of the home is its stunning kitchen, complete with a large central island and a dining area that accommodates the entire group for memorable meals. Additionally, a second living area on the ground floor, highlighted by a magnificent stone fireplace, provides a warm and inviting space to gather. The master bedroom on the first floor is a true sanctuary, featuring a super-king bed, a chaise longue positioned by a circular window overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and an ensuite bathroom with a luxurious roll-top bath. Three other elegantly styled bedrooms on the ground floor, along with two charming bathrooms, ensure ample accommodation for all guests.

Outside, the retreat's expansive garden offers a vast lawn for games and activities, while a large patio with deck chairs provides the perfect spot for relaxation. A barbecue terrace enhances the outdoor experience, allowing for delightful alfresco dining amidst the stunning ocean views. Guests can explore the nearby sandy beaches, embark on the coast-to-coast cycle trail, or take in the breathtaking scenery along the South West Coast Path, which meanders through vibrant towns and remote cliffs. Cornwall's diverse landscape is complemented by its warm climate and rich Celtic heritage, making it a treasure trove of outdoor activities and cultural experiences.

Beyond the natural beauty, Cornwall is renowned for its culinary delights, including the famous Cornish pasty, sweet saffron buns, and local beverages from breweries such as St Austell, Sharps, and Skinners. The region is also home to charming towns like Bude, Newquay, and St Ives, each offering unique attractions and a relaxed atmosphere. For those seeking city experiences, Truro provides a delightful blend of shopping and dining, with its charming markets and high tea venues. Access to the retreat is convenient, with improving road networks and train services, as well as nearby airports offering a range of travel options, making it an accessible and enchanting destination for all.
