Located in the most magical, beautiful setting near Mawgan Porth, Porth House is a spacious and luxurious sea-themed delight for up to eight guests, with a sun-drenched balcony and table-tennis for all to enjoy!
The magnificent interiors are wonderfully bright, warm and welcoming, with natural light flooding through the vast floor-to-ceiling windows to one side and glistening on the sleek surface of this incredibly modern holiday home! On the first-floor, the main living area sees a set of two large sofas in front of the TV, while to the other side of this is a wonderful solid wood dining table with space for the whole group to gather for memorable meal-times! And you really can cook-up a storm in your spacious kitchen with a double oven, Dolce Gusto coffee machine and even a wine fridge! With table tennis in the garage with a couple of sofas, you’ll find that everyone has the space they need to wind-down and enjoy a little fun and games!
There are four enchanting bedrooms, each unique but all equally beautiful, continuing the fresh sea-colours theme and vibrant natural textures throughout, with a range of wall-mounted televisions and corner sofas for the ultimate cosy environment. There is a king-size bedroom on each floor, alongside a twin room which can be arranged as a super king upon request. The king-size rooms both enjoy wonderful ensuite facilities, while there is also a fabulous family bathroom available. A wet room on the ground-floor is great for rinsing off after a day at the beach, with space to leave sandy wetsuits and more in the garage!
Out on your delightful balcony there’s space for the whole group to enjoy a morning cuppa or even something a little stronger with beautiful views across the countryside and even glimpses of the sea! A set of sun-loungers on the balcony which wraps its way around the house ensure you can really soak up the sunshine and the peace and calm of this superb location, and you can fire up the barbeque for the perfect alfresco meal in the sun!
Just a few minutes’ walk from the beautiful beach and village of Mawgan Porth, you can truly enjoy the best of both worlds, with a fabulous rural-feel and harmony with the natural world and offering incredible countryside views, yet with all the amenities within easy reach. And for more surfing, shops and quaint cafes, the famous beach-paradise of Newquay is a 15-minute drive away.
Huge skies, glistening beaches and wild flower-strewn clifftops are rightfully the lasting images of Cornwall, and its warm climate, amazing scenery, and diverse Celtic heritage, including the arts and its enormous wealth of archaeology, certainly justifies the fierce pride of its people.
Famous for its water-sports, in particular surfing and sailing, Cornwall also offers an incredible rock-climbing scene, off-road cycling (including the 18 mile ‘Camel Trail’ following the scenic estuary of the river Camel) and of course, walking. The South West Coast Path, which runs for hundreds of miles along the West Country southern coastline, is particularly scenic around Penwith and the Lizard in the far south-west, venturing through vibrant towns, remote cliffs, beaches, farms and fishing villages. Another incredible walking path is the 125-mile Cornish Celtic Way, mapped by a local 55-year-old clergyman, which will show you a wilder, even more romantic side of this luscious county.
Be sure to try a Cornish pasty and delicious sweet Saffron buns, and of course a little Cornish Clotted cream and Ice Cream! And for a local tipple, the three major breweries of St Austell, Sharps and Skinners serve excellent beer in pubs throughout the county, and because of its mild climate Cornwall has a number of vineyards producing delicious wine, and is even known for its production of honey wine!
Though the magic of the county really happens in the rural Cornish landscape, there are many enchanting towns in Cornwall. Some famous ones include: Bude with its excellent beaches, first class surfing and laidback, relaxed vibe on the north coast; Newquay, the surfing capital of the UK, and; St Ives, the home of one branch of the Tate Gallery, with white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
If you must visit a city (for a little retail therapy, or perhaps to see a show) the only one in the county is Truro, with High Tea at Charlotte's offering an unmissable experience, in a charming Victorian building serving Cornish-grown tea! There are two covered markets, one of which sells eco/organic products, and on Saturday mornings there’s a great farmers' market on the piazza where you can find local produce.
To get in, there are ever-improving roads and trains running right through to Penzance in the far south-west of the county, as well as Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY) about 5 miles from Newquay, or a 30-40-minute drive from Truro. The nearby airports of Exeter (EXT) and Bristol (BRS) offer a wider range of flights than Newquay and will usually be significantly cheaper. Car hire is available at all three airports.
