Red Buoy at Porthcothan
Review Submitted: July 19, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
Lovely stay, in a sunny, comfortable, well-equipped apartment, unbelievably close to beautiful Porthcothan beach and cliff walks. Kitchen has everything you need, bathroom ensuite to bedroom. TV with Sky, DVD/CD player, lots of books and board games provided. Apartment garden is secluded, there’s a small pond, garden full of plants and flowers, and it has an outside, raised seating area with country views and is a real sun trap. Jane, the owner, is very welcoming and helpful. Apartment is attached to Jane’s home but it doesn’t feel like it, you are not overlooked, it is very quiet, and it has its own access separate from the main house and garden. Access to the beach and cliff walks is via Jane’s garden or from the village. A home-from-home to truly relax and unwind in after a day spent on the beach or walking.
The beach is great for swimming, surfing and exploring – sand dunes, caves, and rock pools. Nice pub, for views, at the top of the hill overlooking Porthcothan beach and bay. Local village shop, ideal for essentials (bread, milk, etc), and very nice ice cream. Really handy local bus service between Padstow and Newquay, stops off at villages enroute where you can pick up country walks.
