Had a wonderful stay at Trelawney. All very stylishly furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great spot for enjoying the north coast. The newly re-designed garden was a real boon to enjoy the good weather and the hot tub. A relaxing stay with walks to the beach.

Situated between St Ives and Newquay, Porthtowan is well located for those looking to visit these popular coastal towns. It’s also secluded enough to escape the crowds and relax in a hidden area of Cornwall. Close to Perranporth and St Agnes, Porthtowan is perfect for exploring the sandy beaches in this area and enjoying the stunning views along the South West Coast Path.
'Porth' means 'beach' and 'towan' means 'dunes' in Cornish.
Could there be a more beautiful location for a spot of wild swimming?
Sheltered and calm, this hidden oasis has gloriously clear water.
Wander along the coast path, soaking up those stunning sea views.
Discover silky soft sand and glistening waves at Porthtowan beach.
Close to the rugged cliffs and a stunning sandy beach, yet sheltered by adjoining rolling fields; Porthtowan is in the heartland of traditional Cornwall. There is a vibrant surf scene in the village with a nearby surf school, surf hire facilities and lots of opportunity to enjoy outdoor pursuits. Although secluded, you’re also close to Newquay and Portreath which are both renowned surf spots. Read more on our blog about surf spots in Cornwall.
The Blue Bar beachside restaurant sits literally on the beach and serves delicious meals and bar snacks. There is plenty of outdoor seating where you can enjoy watching the waves and is exceptionally beautiful in the evening as the sun sets.
Nearby, you also have two pubs; the 17th century Victory Inn, and the Unicorn, both serving up fresh local food.
Situated on the South West Coast Path, Porthtowan is ideal for those looking to explore. Coastal walks in this area offer stunning ocean views but venture inland and you’ll find many examples of Cornwall’s mining heritage. Take the circular walk from Porthtowan to Chapel Porth and you’ll find Wheal Coates engine house and the mining remains of Chapel Combe.
There are seasonal dog restrictions on Porthtowan beach between 15th May and 30th September between the hours of 10am and 6pm. Outside of these hours it is dog friendly as well as being dog friendly between 1st October and 14th May. If you do bring a dog, the nearby beach of Bassett’s Cove is to the west of Porthtowan and allows dogs on the beach all year round.

We have just returned from a relaxing and enjoyable holiday at Trelawney. The house is beautifully presented, clean, comfortable and very well equipped - it had everything we needed. Being able to relax in the hot tub after a long walk was much appreciated ??.

We absolutely loved our holiday at Trelawney. The house is perfect for families and has a lovely homely feel. The location is perfect, and the beach is walkable. We will be back again soon.
Mrs OWEN Oct 2021
We all had a fabulous holiday and Trelawney lived up to expectations. The house was a home away from home and had everything we needed. With the added bonus of excellent weather we were able to explore the area on foot, with lots to see. Would certainly return.

Trelawney is the perfect location for a family holiday with its close proximity to the beautiful beach, shops and restaurants. The property is like a home from home, very clean and very well equipped. We would recommend this property to anyone and hope to be back ourselves one day soon!

Mr Power Aug 2021
Great holiday we would definitely come back. Surfing at Porthtowan beach and hot tub were definitely a great addition to a family break.
Mrs Morgan Jun 2021
I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. Everything looked new and stylish and very clean. The furnishings and bedding were great. There was lots of information available both before the holiday and in the house when we arrived. There are lots of walks locally and the surfing looked excellent although we are not surfers. Other good beaches are within 20 minutes drive. I will certainly return to Trelawney.
