With its dramatic coastline, open landscapes, and vibrant seaside culture, it’s the perfect playground for outdoor lovers. Staying at Porthcothan House puts you right in the heart of it all — a spacious, stylish base where you can kick off your boots, rinse off the salt, and unwind in comfort after a day out.
Golf with a View
Cornwall is home to some seriously scenic golf courses, and the North Coast is no exception. Just a short drive from Porthcothan House is Trevose Golf & Country Club, a championship course offering stunning views over Constantine Bay. It’s a favourite with locals and visitors alike, thanks to its challenging layout and high-end facilities.
Also nearby is Merlin Golf Club, a welcoming 18-hole course that’s great for all skill levels. And if you’re up for a scenic drive (or a ferry ride across the Camel Estuary), St Enodoc Golf Club in Rock is a must-play — consistently ranked among the best in the UK.
Catch a Wave at Cornwall’s Best Surf Spots
Cornwall and surfing go hand-in-hand. With consistent Atlantic swells and a variety of beaches for all experience levels, this stretch of coast is a magnet for surfers year-round. Porthcothan Beach, just a short walk from the house, offers mellow waves ideal for beginners and bodyboarders.
Looking for more of a challenge? Head over to Constantine Bay or Harlyn Bay, both renowned for their surf and just minutes away. Local surf schools offer lessons and rentals, so whether you’re a total beginner or just need a board for the day, you’re sorted.
Cycle Through the Countryside

It’s perfect for families, leisurely riders, or anyone who wants to explore Cornwall’s countryside without the car.
