About this property

An ‘up-side down’ holiday home just 15 minutes’ walk to a golden, sandy beach.

Sunfish is a spacious and light ‘up-side down' holiday home, located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and less than a ten-minute walk from the golden and sandy beach of Porthtowan.

Attractively decorate throughout, with a spacious open-plan living area for everyone to enjoy. The well-equipped kitchen comes with everything holiday makers need to cook up a home-made feast and the handy dishwasher makes cleaning up a breeze. Enjoy your scrumptious supper around the dining table and after clear the table and host a family game night, or move over to the comfortable sofas, get cosy and enjoy a movie.

The three bedrooms are found on the ground floor and consist of one king-size room, one double room and one twin room; all are serviced by the shower room and the family bathroom with a shower over bath, wash basin and WC. There is also a snug room on the ground floor with comfortable seating, a television and doors which lead out to the enclosed rear garden. The garden has a lovely decked area with furniture, which is perfect for hosting evening summer barbecues.

Modernes Ferienhaus für die ganze Familie

Das Ferienhaus ist hell, modern und gut ausgestattet. Schöner Garten zum Grillen. Der Grillplatz könnte einen besseren Rauchabzug haben. Ansonsten alles top!

honest view of holiday at Sunfish

Had a lovely family holiday. Views are fantastic especially of the sunsets. Neighbours are nice. Toys for children great. Unfortunately mislaid my Citizen eco drive wristwatch so still hoping it will turn up in a toy box.
