Holiday Home in the heart of Portreath village, the property is situated right on the harbour side. You will be close to all the amenities, two minutes from the sandy beach, the cliff top footpaths and the cycle / foot trail to Devoran.

Portreath is situated on the northwest coast, nestling in a valley between high cliffs and has a secluded, sandy beach, which is ideal for the family and for the more energetic water sports enthusiasts.

The village has a very friendly atmosphere and caters for most needs of visitors whether holidaying in the area or touring whilst based in the village.

For the holidaymaker who prefers to keep to the local area there are many facilities to enjoy, including:

• A cycle trail to the south coast.
• The beautiful beach for swimming, surfing and windsurfing and fishing.
• The National Trust coastal footpath with unsurpassed breathtaking scenery.
• Inland wooded and parkland walks where wild flowers and many species of birds abound.

Although Portreath is uncommercialised, the local amenities provide for all holiday and touring needs. There are cafes and licensed restaurants (one Chinese), a small supermarket, seaside shops and four public houses all selling food.

Bask in warm sunshine on the beach of fine sand or go surfing and wind-surfing in safety, watched by the local Surf and Life Saving Club. On the north side of the beach the harbour wall provides shelter and warmth for a fine tidal swimming pool. Set amidst rocks and rock pools here children can also spend happy hours exploring marine life. The sand of the beach still contains particles of tin and during the 19th Century a Cornish Mine Captain retrieving these on a commercial basis separated enough gold to make a gold ring!

The south side of the cove is a quiet haven overlooked by sloping cliffs and dominated by Battery House; here cannons were kept in readiness during the French wars to repel any attacks on the cove and harbour.

Cliff Walks

The wild and rugged beauty of the local cliffs provides another dimension for those on holiday. Here the walker, naturalist and artist find solitude away from crowded beaches. Buzzards circle, ravens soar and kittiwakes nest in their hundreds above blue seas where Atlantic seals sport in secluded coves.

The dramatic North cliffs, with distant views to Godrevy Lighthouse and St. Ives are particularly attractive.

Immediately inland is the Tehidy Country Park with its adjoining golf course, an area of beautiful woodland, lakeside walks and picnic areas. Throughout the year a programme of free guided walks on history, geology, botany and natural history can be enjoyed by the whole family. Adjoining Portreath itself are the Illogan Woods where streams meander beneath towering beeches and a circular walk leads to the 14th century church tower of Illogan.

Sports and Leisure

Sports and leisure facilities are available within a short drive of the village.
