Acreditation Porthcothan House

Luxury self-catering holiday home near Padstow in North Cornwall

Welcome to Porthcothan House, a lovely Georgian farmhouse on the North Cornish Coast, mid-way between Watergate Bay and Padstow. It is 600 yards from Porthcothan beach, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a few minutes from the Coast Path, Trevose and Constantine and some of Cornwall’s finest beaches, gardens, golf courses and restaurants.

Recently refurbished, spacious, light, full of character and with a lovely atmosphere, Porthcothan House has everything for a really special holiday – at any time of year.

Relax in a renowned Savoir bed, wrapped in a blissful die Zudecke goose down duvet, absorbing the view of the valley and coast, as you ponder the big decisions of the day: do you surf at Constantine, walk a section of spectacular coastline, play golf or tennis at Trevose, have cream tea at Bedruthan Steps, eat at Rick Stein’s or Jamie Oliver’s. Or do you spend a peaceful day on Porthcothan beach ... paddling in the sea ... and wiggling your toes in warm sand.

For a wonderful holiday, celebration or relaxing short break – with all your family ... and friends ... or just for you.

"We came here yesterday and we love it .. a fine house with space and a sort of immemorial peace. We can see the sea and hear the sound of it .. all at last is well."

(DH Lawrence who rented the house in 1914-15)
