We loved our stay at Sonrisa and Bruce's beautiful place. They left a key for us so we could turn up whenever we wanted which was great as we drove down from London and stopped a few times. It is perfectly situation 30 seconds walk from the local shop, pub and Restaurant and a 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach and hills for lovely dog walks. We took our dog and she loved it too. The wifi went down for literally 2 mins as they were changing providers whilst we stayed. It didn't bother us as they have 100s of channels to choose from but they waved the fee for our dog staying which we thought was a really nice gesture. It's a perfect place for a relaxing weekend and imagine its amazing in the summer. Sonrisa and Bruce were available all weekend via email and text and made our stay very comfortable. We will defiantly visit again, especially when the kitchen is put in. The only thing that was missing was the option of cooking a hearty meal after a long walk as there is only a kitchenette so look forward to visiting once the kitchen is sorted. Thanks to these guys, we are already thinking about Air B&B again as this was our first time and I've known any hotel/ B&B to be so hassle free! Thanks Sonrisa and Bruce.

A great location on the very outskirts of Porthtowan. A very comfortable; beds are exceptional with good showering facilities and a very well equipped lounge area. Quick wifi and access to Sky more than make up for very limited mobile phone signal. Despite not having a kitchen the facility set up makes food preparation for a day out simple and hassle free with plenty of provided amenities to get through your stay. The guest information booklet presents plenty of opportunities for activity and eating in the local area so you can make the most of your visit and Sonrisa is an exceptionally helpful and engaging host. Overall a very enjoyable visit! I'll definitely be looking to stay in the future if we decide to visit Porthtowan again.

The communication was brilliant , Soni responded immediately with a kind warm welcome and a offer of any help. We had a nightmare journey down so a bottle of wine waited which was a lovely gesture. The accommodation was larger than I thought so as there was only three of us, it was great. The double bed was comfy and snug with very fresh bed linen . There was a welcome pack of milk bread and coffee/tea with pots of jam / marmalade. location was spot on for touring around the area. We tried the pub in the village for dinner which was ok. plenty of stuff short drives away to eat. Would definitely go back. Thanks guys

Great accommodation in a great spot. The accommodation is a large annex of a lovely home with two bedrooms, bathroom & large kitchen / dining room. Portowan has a couple of great pubs/restaurants and the beach is great for surfing. Only 5 mins drive from Redruth. Hosts were very responsive and welcoming, and check-in was really easy.

Very communicative and accommodating given our difficult travel schedule!

Spacious home and good for relaxing and enjoying the coast.

Great communication with host, and easy directions, house is lovely, albeit no kitchen but we were happy to eat out, location is fabulous, got very wet jumping in the waves followed by a scenic walk up the cliffs, beautiful! We would stay here again.

Great family friendly place to stay next to the beach and amenities.

Great location with sea view. The information given by Tom and Candice and recommendations of the area were accurate. Was left bread and champagne which was a nice touch. had a lovely time. if you are looking for a place to chill out this is great.

Tom & Candice went over and above what was expected, we found bread milk etc and a bottle of Prosecco on arrival

We spent 3 days at the flat between Xmas and New Year. We had a great time (2 adults and 2 kids) . The position of the property couldn't be better; a minute's walk from the beginning of the beach, close by to a shop, a pub and a couple of cafes. The flat is small but the layout and facilities make the best use of it. Everything you need for a cosy stay. Excellent.

excellent place!!! perfect view and very good communication. cleaned+++ very comfortable!!! love to come back! excellent appartement. très bonne communication. propre lits très confortable. je reviendrai :) Thank you

It was a lovely place and great location, thanks for scrummy bread and prosecco I can imagine it is amazing in the summer Very clean and comfortable too, electric heaters which we mostly didn't use as we have small kids except one in sitting room and we were very warm thanks for having us Easy to find and easy parking which is great with lots of luggage and very convenient for beach and playground

Had a lovely few days in the apartment, went to the beach everyday :) the apartment was perfect for the 5 of us, appreciated the bread and prosecco when we arrived! Would definitely recommend for a relaxing beach getaway, thanks Tom and Candice!

Great location, great flat! Very lovely owners and kind touch leaving bread, milk, coffee etc v much appreciated. Everything you could need is already there but the best part is that they are literally 50m to the best each in the world! Thanks very much for great communication and letting us stay. Davina xx

Although we didn't meet Tom and Candice, it was a wonderful stay and their communication was very helpful prior to arrival. It was a very good price, and really warm inviting home. It was a lovely surprise to arrive to a bottle of prosecco and some fresh bread. The apartment was in a fantastic location overlooking the beach and was warm and inviting. The heated floor in the bathroom was a massive bonus and the beds were very comfortable too.

The annex was lovely. It is situated in a very peaceful and a beautiful part of Cornwall. Lowenna made me feel very welcome and it was the perfect place for me to get away and have a rest. The beach is so close and the sunsets are wonderful to sit and watch. It was a great price and I would thoroughly recommend staying here. There is plenty of surf and a really peaceful atmosphere in the village. This is a great place to stay would like a surfing break or just some peace and quiet to get away from it all.

We had a great stay in Porthtowan! Lowenna and her family were very welcoming and gave us some good tips for places to visit. Their beach annex was as described; very comfortable and had everything we needed for our short holiday. Porthtowan is a lovely small village with a beautiful beach and some great pubs/bars. It's located perfectly for day trips to St Ives, Falmouth etc. I would totally recommend staying here :)

A perfect stay with lovely people.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay! Wonderful hosts and accommodation perfect for a weekend break! So close to beach and beach bars great for a surf break we would love to come back :)

Great little place for our stay in Porthtowan. Annex had everything we needed and was perfectly located close to the beach and a few amenities. Lowenna gave perfect and helpful directions. Very much enjoyed our stay.

We were made to feel very welcome by Lowenna and her family. The annex is in a great location - walking distance to the beach and amenities. Perfect for surf getaways!

We had a great time staying in this lovely air bnb. Very close to the beach, from where we had a nice walk along the coast to St Agnes. We're not surfers ourselves but even in late October the beach was busy with surfers, seems a great spot! The air bnb was super clean and provided everything we needed (eg kitchen facilities). Many thanks for this 2 day get away :)

Great place to stay. Due to weather didn't manage a day on beach. Did do walking though. Welcomed by James. Place had everything we needed. Would recommend it. Thanks. Karen

An excellent base to explore Cornwall - beautifully situated and well-equipped. Robert was an excellent host. Highly recommend.

Amazing house- I stayed here with a 2 year old (who is confident on stairs) and baby plus my parents. The house was very comfortable and had amazing views down to the beach. Beachfront location. This village was small and quiet when we went in March but would be quite busy in summer. There were local shops and a pub close by plus a playground a few metres away. Highly recommended.

Beautiful house, beautiful setting. Family friendly - dog friendly. Easy access to beach and shops

Wonderfully quirky old engine house - stunning location overlooking the sea. Our two year old was in heaven with the beach, playground opposite and some of the best ice cream ever! Great coastal walks for our dog too! I couldn't recommend highly enough. Thank you Robert!

Robert's place was AMAZING! The photos are totally accurate and it is immaculate. There are 3 bedrooms which can sleep 2 people in each room. The couch area is so comfy. The bathrooms are nice with one that you can use for a wet room after going to the beach and the second bathroom has a giant bathtub. The kitchen was stocked with anything you could need to make a meal. Robert was kind enough to leave biscuits jelly and cream which was delicious. The beach was beautiful like something from a movie scene. We ate a nice dinner at a place called Blue which was walking distance. If you have a young child, there is a playground across the street. We had a blast and would definitely return. Thank you Robert.

Great location yards from beach

Thank you for use of your amazing flat. cheers Mikey

Evening, we had a great stay in your apartment, loved the views its a warm clean homely apartment and we really appreciated all the extra bits in the kitchen, made are stay even easier, like home from home, we where fortunate the weather stayed dry in the day so we got to see the surrounding areas, St Agnes, St Michaels mount, Landsends etc.... Hopefully we will be back in the spring with our grandchildren Many thanks Silver

We had a wonderful holiday at Anika and Gwith's home in Porthtowan. The kitchen/living room overlooks the beach. It's a fabulous view, and the room gets lots of light. The home has underfloor heating so was lovely and warm even in a cold frosty February. We have a young family and the use of a travel cot was really handy. Anika and Gwith were really easy to get in touch with beforehand. We would definitely go back !

Couldn't recommend this place more!!! You'll never find anything this close to the beach on Air BnB! The house is lovely, spacious and very well equipped. The under-floor heating is unbeatable and there's great artwork on the walls. You don't even have to leave the house to enjoy the waves and the breeze, just step out to the balcony! You'll see hundreds of people coming down to the beach and going back home every day, whilst You just simply LIVE THERE! The village is charming, with very friendly and funny locals! There's a bar, cafe, fish & chips, surf shop and a toy store right underneath the balcony. There's even a Pub somewhere with its own 3D surround sound cinema after Your return from one of the amazing walkways along the coast. The only problem we encountered was: The mattress is so comfortable ; You'll find it very difficult to get out of bed!!! Highly recommended, ideal for couples and families! Thank You Anika and Gwith!

We had a great three days at the flat. The location is perfect for surfing as the waves can be assessed from the picture window. The accommodation, though small was ideal for three of us and we all enjoyed the ambience of the blue bar to a significant degree! Overall a great place for a short seaside break.

Such a special part of the world in Porthtowan and what better place to stay to experience it! Amazing views over the beach and just above the blue bar and another lovely cafe. Just a few minute wander to the village shop. The apartment was up to date and we were greeted by some Cornish scones and a bottle of drink as well as a handwritten welcome note. We had our 6 month old baby with us so found the travel cot helpful and my niece and nephew staying nearby made use of some of the huge toy box! Just wish we were still there on holiday. Would definitely stay again.

Myself and my two children had a fantastic stay here. The beach at Porthtowan is beautiful and in February was mostly deserted. The children had a fantastic time in the caves and rock pools. All the beach equipment was provided and this was very helpful. Anika and Gwith seem to have thought of everything, from charming bedtime stories about Cornwall to boxes of toys and games. We went on day trips to The Eden Project (45 minutes away), Falmouth and St Ives (both 30 minutes away). Porthtowan pretty much shuts down in a Winter though so we did need to go further afield for our fish and chips! There was a small shop open and a pub which opened in the evenings. All in all it was a lovely place and we will definitely be back.

Great place and the location couldn't be better in porthtowan. I want to go back and stay longer next time!

Wonderful accommodation in a quiet setting within easy driving distance of Cornwall's tourists spots. Brilliant access to beach and great local pub - everything you could want for a relaxing break. Simon was very responsive and a brilliant host - would definitely recommend.

The host canceled this reservation 49 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Simon has a great place easy walking to a cracking beach and amenities. Full kitchen and spacious. Excellent communication, friendly community.

THE HOST AND HOSTESS WERE WARM ,KIND AND HELPFUL IN EVERY WAY. And understanding when I felt unwell and had to cut my holiday short. They kindly offered me to come back at a later date for the rest of the time I had booked.

Rebecca and Graham made us feel very welcome and were helpful and friendly without being intrusive. We admire their investment in making Tilly a holiday home and she is furnished very attractively. Tilly is very accurately described but she is, nevertheless, an old caravan and the facilities for cooking and washing up in the van are limited, so it is more appropriate for occasional meals. The outdoor shower is very good but some distance from the van. The weather was damp and cool when we visited so we were not able to make the most of the outdoor area, which would have enhanced our exerience. Porthtowan is popular and the walk to the shops/beach should be done with care because of the amount of traffic on a narrow road, but it is still worth it!

My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights at Tilly over the Easter and absolutely loved it. Tilly the caravan is well equipped, very comfortable and super sweet. It is really well looked after as is the outside area which is great for BBQ. Rebecca was an amazing host, very welcoming, friendly, helpful and really nice to talk to. Location is great too. It is 5 mins walk to the Main Street and beach. Beach is beautiful and you can do some really good and picturesque walks from here. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tilly to anyone who's looking for some chilled time in lovely surroundings. We would be definitely happy to come back again.

We had a wonderful time at Tilly. Proximity to stunning Porthtowan beach was super practical and we were even able to take the BBQ kit with us. The little town has a very nice vive and the blue bar has a perfect location to enjoy the sunset. Graham and Rebecca were very kind and helpful. Thank you!

Me and my girlfriend had a great week staying in cute, little Tilly. Whilst I can imagine Tilly may be considered a little too cosy by some, there's a lovely area outside to make use of and it is just a short walk away from a fantastic beach and little seaside village. The host and her family were incredibly welcoming throughout our stay, ensuring we had everything we needed and even provided us with great insight of places to visit in the surrounding area. Overall, Tilly was perfect for what we wanted - which was a quiet getaway to the stunning Cornwall coast, within easy driving distance for exploring the rest of the county. We really thank the host (and Tilly) for our stay!

Rebecca and Graham were very welcoming hosts: friendly, helpful and kind. I thoroughly recommend Tilly: the cutest vintage caravan in a great setting. It's located on Rebecca and Graham's drive, which is quiet and secluded, but only a short stroll to Porthtowan's village with its bars, shop and of course beach! Tilly has got everything you would expect from a caravan: small but well equipped kitchen for homemade meals, a toilet, dining area and double bed. There's also 2 outside tables and a small cooking area if you fancy alfresco cooking and dining. There's also a shower adjacent to Rebecca's house for Tilly's guests' private use - towels and toiletries are provided. We had a lovely stay and definitely recommend it!

What a cracking location!!! We used Towan cottage as a base for our trip to Cornwall to visit family, excellent access to the beach and close to the local amenities. It was also pet friendly which is what we wanted, so hats off to Andy for allowing this. The cottage had everything you need if you wanted to be self sufficient when it comes to eating but we opted to est out every night. Particularly liked The Blue Bar, where many a cider and much food passed these lips, lovely views made even better by watching glorious sunsets over the sea. Would definitely return.

Loved our break away at Andrew's place! What more to ask on a holiday when one can wake up to the sound of the sea, walk few minutes to the lovely beach and end the evening watching the sun set with a glass of wine in the garden after a bbq!! The drawback we had, was that we were not aware that although dogs allowed on beach, it was only seasonal! Therefore had to drive to Hayle or Porthkidney beaches most days to give the dog a run and swim... Otherwise a 5 star for lovely stay and excellent communication with host!

A great place to stay for our weekend away. Amazing location, we had a lovely morning walk on the beach and the Porthtowan Beach Cafe was really lovely. We all regretted not having breakfast there! The house suited our needs perfectly, comfortable, gorgeous log fire, and central within Cornwall for us to see the bits we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend!

Great place to stay and convenient for the beach and other amenities in the village .. We will be back!

Lovely holiday cottage in a great location - a few minutes walk to the beach, local shop, cafe and coast path. Well equipped with fully functional kitchen, comfy beds and cosy living/dining room. Log burner was a real plus especially in the storm we had on the first night! It felt like a home away from home. Very comfy. Great communication from host. Thank you!

Towan cottage is a very cosy, well equipped home which is a 2 minute walk to the beach. It has everything you need, comfy beds, hot shower and lovely log burner (much appreciated as we were not lucky with the weather!) The village is quiet but now a few of the seasonal shops are also starting to open! The surrounding beaches are amazing - we loved Perranporth and Godrevy beaches and St Ives, Truro and Padstow were lovely! We would definitely return!

Andrews place is right next to the beach, with excellent parking spaces for one van and one 4x4, and SUCH comfy beds! I didn't want to leave the bed!! Kitchen fully equipped and comfy sofas too. Excellent value for a family surf weekend away! The place felt homey straight away, my dad commented on the bathroom being a bit rough around the edges, but I said that made it even homeyer! Will definitely be using again next time am in Cornwall

I visited this weekend with my two daughters, and we fell in love with Andy's house and didn't want to leave. The pictures don't do it justice, it is really spacious and has everything you need. The wood burner is great to have there, and makes it really cosy. The kitchen has everything you might need to rustle up a meal, and the dishwasher was a bonus (dishwasher tabs and washing up stuff provided). It's not too clear from the listing but the house is on three floors - with one double, the bathroom and the bedroom with bunk beds on the first floor, and the master bedroom with ensuite toilet on the second floor. All the beds were really comfy, and everything was clean and welcoming. The local area is lovely - the beach is a stone's throw away and there is a choice of local eateries within walking distance. There is a kids playground nearby too. Highly recommend staying here - Andy is a great host and his house is fantastic.
