Photos and Description of this Portreath holiday cottage 2-bedroom seaside home for holiday rental on Cornwall's stunning North Coast.

A short walk to Portreath's large sandy beach on Cornwall's spectacular North Coast, The Boys' Cottage is a lovingly-restored two-bedroomed stone fisherman's cottage, dating from the 1850s. The garden terraces and two sun decks provide stunning views out across the bay to the Atlantic. The garden provides secluded areas to sunbathe, watch the seagulls, or just enjoy a glass of wine as you watch the sun sink below the horizon. The cottage has a large double bedroom with views down to the harbour and a twin-bedded room at the rear with views up to the garden terraces. The well-equipped kitchen leads to a dining area and a door to the sun-trap courtyard - ideal for barbecues! Portreath is an excellent base from which to explore the South West and is one of the most spectacular beauty spots in the county. Although uncommercialised, the village has three inns, a general store and post office, a bakers and a selection of restaurants and cafes.

Austrian fans

Sabine1 Salzburg, Austria
Review Submitted: May 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We stayed at Boys Cottage for 1 week last July and enjoyed it a great deal. The house is very spacious, clean and just 2 minutes away from the coastal path.
The kitchen is well-furnished with dishwasher, washing machine and dryer and you find all the things you need to cook a nice dinner, which we often enjoyed on the fantastic terrace overlooking the sea!
It is also an excellent basis for trips to St. Ives, St. Michaels Mount, Trebah Gardens and other places.
Should we ever go to this corner of England again, we will definitely stay at Boys Cottage!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your lovely review of our cottage - we're delighted that you enjoyed your holiday so much after your long journey from Austria.

Review Submitted: September 14, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Ideal cottage and location, 2 of us stayed here in September 2009 for a week, couldnt have asked for anything better, a home from home place was very clean and very high standard, the view from the top terrace in the garden was fanastic ideal place for eating your meals or just chilling.The village is quiet not to many holidaymakers, great beach and local pub (portreath arms, good home cooked food) both 5 mins walk from cottage, also the coast to coast cycle path starts right next to the pub worth a walk or bike ride, we would recommend this place to everyone, thanks to graham and jane for making our stay so relaxing

A relaxing holiday in Portreath

H L Hertfordshire
Review Submitted: September 9, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We spent a fortnight at this lovely cottage in August 2009. The cottage is in the heart of the village, in close walking distance of the beach, good pubs and a few handy shops. The cottage itself is well equipped with all modern conveniences and is decorated to a high standard. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that, contrary to what has often happened in the past, the cottage was actually bigger than I had expected from pictures online.
The owners were extremely helpful prior to booking and happy to answer queries. Their phone call on our first day to check that we were happy with everything was a nice touch.
My only comment would be that getting up to the terraces (particularly the top terrace) might not be easy for some people. The steps leading up are quite steep and some of the plants had overgrown, making going up and down a little more difficult than I would have liked.
All in all, a wonderful base for an enjoyable family holiday in a beautiful part of the world!

Summer Retreat

Doc70 Oldham, Lancs
Review Submitted: September 6, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We stayed at the property in late May/early June of 2009 and had a fabulous two weeks. Portreath is an ideal spot for a family holiday with a great beach only a few minutes walk from the house, good rockpooling (youngest son reccomends it), nice pubs and other facilities. We found it a great base for exploring this part of cornwall, both walking and further afield by car.

The house was just as described and we found it clean and comfortable with great space and facilities. Watching the spectacular sunsets from the top of the garden was a real treat.

Lovely house, nice location and we would reccomend it to anybody wanting a seaside location in Cornwall.

Good Location

meshwill Haywards Heath, West Sussex.
Review Submitted: August 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Good location for nearby beach and amentities.
Cottage very nice but sadly not too clean upon arrival so spent first hour cleaning!.
Great starting point to explore rest of Cornwall, well worth the long long journey to get there and the really bad traffic jams!.
Very good service from owners who dealt with my issue about cleanliness etc when we got home from holiday and issued compensation.
