Photos and Description of this Portreath holiday cottage
Three-bedroom traditional Cornish cottage, sleeping five plus baby

Kittiwake Cottage is a traditional Cornish stone cottage a short level walk from Portreath’s harbour and safe, sandy beach, newly decorated with new, wooden, double-glazed windows. Its long (180 foot!) garden is full of ‘Cornish’ plants – gunnera, palm trees, euphorbia - and has three outdoor seating areas so you can follow the sun as it sets behind Western Hill. A large lockable shed provides ample space for wetsuits, surfboards and bikes. Directly along the back of the garden runs the historic Portreath tramroad, which linked the port with inland tin and copper mining areas in the early 19th Century and is now part of a beautiful coast-to-coast route for cyclists, riders and walkers. A private parking space is tucked in at the top of the garden, with additional unrestricted parking on Greenfield Terrace, at the front of the house. The cottage has central heating and a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace in the lounge for cooler evenings and autumn and winter days.

Portreath is a small coastal village which welcomes visitors warmly but also has its own community spirit. Its pubs and restaurants offer plenty of choice minutes from Kittiwake Cottage. Everyday needs are supplied by the supermarket/post office and a bakery.

The village is situated about halfway between well-known Cornish resorts Newquay and St. Ives and within a short drive of the beautiful Atlantic coast beaches in either direction – Porthtowan, St. Agnes, Perranporth and Godrevy, Gwithian, Hayle and Carbis Bay. Clifftop walks provide spectacular views in all seasons and a glimpse of Cornwall’s fascinating flora and fauna.

The cove itself encloses a safe, sandy beach for swimmers and surfers and stretches of low rocks, with a myriad of rock pools, populated by mini-communities of sea creatures and plants.

Truro and Falmouth are just fourteen miles away. The Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, St. Michael’s Mount, Padstow and Land’s End are all an easy drive.

Cottage is wonderful

Review Submitted: October 31, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
Cottage is wonderful with everything we needed for a family holiday, very relaxing and children loved the games room. Welcome pack was very good, enjoyed after a long journey to get here. Portreath area one of th ebest in Cornwall and the cycle path an added bonus. We look forward to staying at Kittiwake Cottage next year. Have already recommended it to other people!

Kittiwake Cottaqge felt very homely and we appreciated the cream tea and wine, milk etc. ready for our use - thank you. I always love Cornwall and visiting familiar and new haunts. Portreath was fairly central.

The Perfect Summer Holiday!

Review Submitted: September 16, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
We spent a wonderful fortnight at Kittiwake! We've never stayed anywhere that was so well equipped for a family holiday. A beautiful cottage complete with a lovely garden and plenty of games & books to keep everyone occupied. Fresh vegetables available from the garden and delicious scones were a welcome treat too! The street is very quiet with friendly neighbours on both sides. Portreath itself is a lovely, unspoilt harbour town with a beautiful beach. I've no doubt we will be back again in the future.
Recommended for:  Adventure Seekers, Tourists without a Car, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: We're delighted as always when people love Kittiwake as much as we do - and it's even better when they enjoy our vegetables and welcome pack. And yes - we like our neighbours a lot too!

Perfect for a family holiday

Review Submitted: July 31, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
I spent a wonderful week at Kittiwake cottage with my three children. The location is perfect - it's in a very quiet street, but just a short walk from the beach, shops and cafés. I recommend the Atlantic café for a morning coffee or lunch on your way to or from the beach.

The cottage really is a home away from home, and extremely well equipped. Although we didn't see the owners, they made us feel extremely welcome with their information pack, cream tea laid out on arrival and invitations to pick the veg growing in the vegetable garden.

The children were delighted to find lots of toys, books and games in the house - there was everything we could possibly want - right down to fishing nets and buckets and spades for the beach.

Really Nice Place

Review Submitted: July 27, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
Had a great week on the beach with lovely weather. The cottage is great - everything is clean and working - instructions and guides to local area supplied milk, bread, wine, etc. waiting in the fridge when you arrive - nice garden - good shower - plenty room for 5 of us - good location 10 mins from beach - veg growing in the garden - owners helpful but not intrusive. Would recommend fish and chips in the cafe by the car park and West Cornwall Adventures sea kayaking top.

Can't think of anything that could be improved really which says it all. Stairs are quite steep which may be a problem for some but not for us.
Recommended for:  Adventure Seekers, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Delighted H. and family had a good time - and left the cottage in pristine condition - thanks.
