About this property

Hufflepuff in Porthtowan is a perfect location for families and surfers. The dunes are ideal for children to play on with a park for younger children. The beach itself is fantastic for surfing and body boarding and in peak seasons it is supervised by lifeguards. The mermaid pool is accessible as the tide goes out and is perfect for splashing around in. The stream and rock pools on the beach provide plenty of entertainment for children. For those who enjoy walking the house is on the costal path and a walk to Chapelporth can be rewarded with lunch in the café there. The Blue Bar in Porthtowan is an excellent location to have a drink or a meal and has fantastic views of the beach; perfect for watching the sunset in the evening. Porthtowan has its own Ice Cream Parlour 'The Moomaid' which, sells delicious ice-cream and is well worth trying. The Beach Café in Porthtowan also sells great food during the day. The house itself has an enclosed garden at the rear which is a sun trap on sunny days whilst keeping the wind at bay. The house's proximity to the beach makes it easy to wander from the house down to the beach in your wet suit ready to enjoy the waves for the day.

Another Great Visit to Porthtowan

This house is perfect for us, less than a minute from the beach, in a lovely little village with everything we need and on the coastal path. This was our fourth visit to the property and I'm sure that we will visit again!

Lovely place, will go again

Lovely beach. Best pub is the Blue Boy on the opposite side of the dunes. The Unicorn is overpriced and the staff don’t seem the know what they’re doing. Aldi is a short drive away in Redruth but don’t go mad with the shopping because the fridge at this property isn’t very big. The internet is very good though.

Another Great Stay

This is our second visit to Hufflepuff and it was even better. The weather was great and Porthtowan is so convenient for other places, as well as being a great place to stay. We've already booked again for next year!

Wonderfully relaxing. Fantastic location

Great, comfortable property. Really clean and welcoming. All kitted out for body boarding life and for dodging terrible weather if required (which we had too!) Location is perfect for swims, body boarding and gorgeous costal walks either way. The Blue Bar had fantastic service and sunsets ( the menu is limited, but well done). Far preferrable to the Unicorn which had poor service and food that was over priced. Only welcome addition to the property would be a hairdryer please! I do hope we make it back

Excellent Autumn Break

This is a perfect beachside property, really only a minute's walk from the beach. Everything was was described and we had a very happy comfortable week long stay. This was our first visit to Porthtowan but it won't be out last and we want to stay here again! Thank you for letting us stay in your house.

Wunderschöne moderne Wohnung direkt am Strand

Die Wohnung war gemütlich, geräumig, für unsere Bedürfnisse voll ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Die Lage direkt am Strand und am Spielplatz ist für Familien mit Kindern ideal. Der Parkplatz vor der Haustür ist auch sehr praktisch. Die Vermieter geben sich auch sehr Mühe, das Haus schön und gemütlich für Gäste zu gestalten. Es gibt Bücher und DVDs für jedes Alter, die Bettwäsche und die Vorhänge sind liebevoll ausgewählt und alles ist ausführlich in einem Handbuch erklärt. Der einzige unpraktische Punkt für uns war die Dusche im oberen Stockwerk - der Sand vom Strand verteilte sich dadurch schnell überall. Der Ort selbst ist ein Paradies für Surfer und Wanderer. Der Strand ist regelmäßig durch rettungsschwimmer bewacht, die Kneipen sind gemütlich und das Eis schmeckt fantastisch. Auch der kleine Laden im Dorf hat ausgiebige Öffnungszeiten, so dass man sich gut mit dem Nötigsten ausstatten kann. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Perfect location on a wonderful beach

Porthtowan was just lovely. It’s a great beach and the house is in such a great location with reliable parking. Great house for us. The ONLY thing is that I think it could be made clearer on the description that although linens are provided, this does not mean towels as well!! It’s not a big deal to bring towels but useful to know. It seems we weren’t the only ones to be caught out. Overall great stay.

The property was clean, modern, comfortable and well equipped even to a nespresso machine for the daily coffee. Very convenient for the beach and local amenities, the blue bar busy but good selection of food. The local shop well stocked. Moomaids icecream is delicious. Thanks for making a lovely place available.

Toplage - sehr sympathische Unterkunft

1 Minute zu Fuß zum Strand mit Topwellen, zauberhaft mit Steilküste eingerahmt (im übrigen Surfer-Geheimtipp mit Wellengarantie und täglicher Überwachung durch die englische Surfer-Rettung). 1 Minute zur Bluebar für den Kaffee zwischendurch oder das Pint am Abend. 1 Minute zu Fuß zu einem sehr netten Dorfladen, der alles Nötige parat hat. Und in dreißig bis vierzig Autominuten ist man bei einer Menge der vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten und hübschen Spots Cornwalls angelangt. Haben eine sehr entspannte und schöne Woche dort verbracht und uns in dem geschmackvoll eingerichteten und liebevoll und komplett ausgestatteten kleinen Häuschen sehr wohl gefühlt. 100% Empfehlung.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Stanton

We are a family of 4 who love everything Porthtowan has to offer. Dan loves to tackle the challenge of the waves on his kayak whilst Kate loves the exhilaration body boarding provides. Emma, 12 years old loves to jump over and dive through all the waves whilst Luke, 11 years old is learning how to surf. Watching the sunset over the horizon in the evening is beautiful and we all enjoy watching it either sat on the beach or from The Blue Bar.

Why they chose this property

Porthtowan has a very special place in our hearts and we feel very fortunate to become the owners of a home in the village. We love the location because of its proximity to the beach making it easy to take kayaks, surf boards and body boards to the sea. It is easy to watch the kids playing in the dunes or the park from the home so they can be independent but as parents we know they are safe because we can see them easily. Porthtowan is a small village so the ice cream parlour, shop and restaurants are all close without being intrusive. We describe it as the perfect triangle, home, sea, pub!

What makes this property unique

The proximity to a fantastic beach with incredible waves.
