Puffin Cottage - Perfect for couples or a family holiday in Cornwall

Puffin Cottage Portreath is a luxury 3 bed holiday home in the lovely village of Portreath on the north cast of Cornwall, half way between St Ives and Newquay.

The cottage has a large modern kitchen/diner which catches the morning sun, making it a wonderful space to have a relaxing breakfast, that is if you are not outside in the courtyard garden, tucking into a delicious breakfast of fresh pastries, or maybe a traditional saffron bun from the local Portreath Bakery, only a couple of minutes walk away. At the end of an active day the contemporary lounge, which catches the evening sun, is the perfect place to relax, chat with family or friends or watch a spot of tv, and, in the winter it takes on a very cosy feel with the multi fuel burner giving additional warmth and a focal point to the room. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, one of which can be set up as a twin, and a third which has a bunk bed, perfect for the children. The bedrooms are themed 'Woodland Retreat', 'Silver Sea' and 'Beach Days' and have been decorated to be relaxing spaces to aid a good night's sleep. There is also a modern, relaxing bathroom which has a bath with shower above.

Puffin Cottage also has a large porch, a garage for storing bikes, surf boards etc and off road parking to the rear. There is a paved front garden and an enclosed courtyard garden to the rear which has some relaxing chairs and also a six seater dining set, perfect for those warm summer evenings of al fresco dining.

Being situated in Portreath, Puffin Cottage benefits from being in a fantastic location, only 2 minutes walk from Portreath's wonderful sandy beach, which is manned by lifeguards all summer. Within a minutes walk is 'Baby Beach' which is perfect for young children. The beach has numerous rock pools and one, 'Rocky Pool'which is large enough to swim in if you don't fancy the open water! In summer look out for seals and dolphins which can often be seen!
There are also some beautiful walks from the village, taking in the magnificent coastal views of the north cliffs, as well as wooded areas full of bird life.

If you like getting out on a bike, then the coast to coast off road cycle trail may be for you which starts in Portreath and treks cross country to a nice pub stop by the estuary!

Portreath has a couple of pubs which serve good food, Portreath Bakery, a village store, a hairdressers, a chinese takeaway, a fish & chip takeaway and several cafes, as well as bike and surf board hire.

Portreath is only a 10 min drive from the A30, the main dual carriageway through Cornwall, and this makes it easy to tour the various attractions across the county, but to stay in a lovely 'base' village on the coast.

So, whether you are a couple looking for a romantic break, or a family looking for something for everyone, come and stay at the lovely Puffin Cottage for your perfect home away holiday.

WONDERFUL STAY!
Puffin Cottage is presented to a very high standard in all aspects. The decor and furniture are excellent and there is a very well-equipped and spacious kitchen including a dining area. The lounge has a Smart T.V. - as do the double bedrooms - and there is plenty of comfortable seating. The bathroom is very modern with a showerbath - make sure you read the instructions in the property manual for getting hot water and operating the taps - . Outside, the patio area at the back of the house is a great place to catch the sun during the morning and afternoon, and in the evening the front garden is an equally good place to sit and watch the world go by. The garage provided a very useful place to store beach equipment and body boards. Puffin Cottage is less than 2 minutes walk to the beach, which was fantastic. Within 5 minutes you can be on the coastal footpaths along the headlands and cliffs that are on either side of Portreath. The bakery, shop and Chinese Takeaway are a 2-3 minute walk, and there is a Tesco Superstore a 10-minute drive away. There are several pleasant pubs in the village. Tamsin was a very attentive and helpful host before and during our visit. Portreath is a lovely, friendly place and the glorious Cornish weather was the icing on the cake for us. We had a wonderful stay in the perfect Puffin Cottage!

A great beachside base!
What a wonderful holiday at Puffin Cottage. The location is perfect for exploring near and far. Portreath beach is right on the doorstep and great for swimming, body boarding, and surfing. The is also good access to the south west coastal path for spectacular local walks. The village caters for all your needs with a small shop, fantastic bakery, and a number of great places to eat. Being just 10 minutes from the A30 means it is easy to explore most other parts of Cornwall by car too. The house itself is lovely; very modern and clean with all the home comforts you could want. Tamsin and Mark are great hosts, who promptly respond if you have any problems. The pasties and wine on arrival were a thoughtful touch too. Just the holiday we needed!
