Luxury self-catering accommodation in Portreath

Along the rugged north Cornish coast and positioned right on the quay, this coastal village is steeped in maritime history. In fact, Portreath harbour was one of Cornwall’s earliest industrial ports, exporting copper ore to South Wales, and the harbour front is still a hive of activity with local fishermen casting off and unloading fish. Guests can experience life on the ocean wave by escaping to a Portreath luxury self-catering home, spending days exploring the town and quay, while indulging in the many eateries famed for dishing up the freshest and tastiest catch of the day.

For family days out, the beach has rock pools aplenty for little ones to explore and a surf school for older children keen to ride the waves, but it won't be long before you're exploring the scenic surroundings. The famed coastal path gives out here to the breathtaking Godrevy Heritage Coast, and a walk round to sandy Gwithian provides spectacular views of the lighthouse that's said to have inspired To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf; it has kept careful watch over the waters since the 1850s. Heading further out? Cyclists can pedal across to Devoran near Truro on the scenic, disused tram-line paths.
