Description from owner
Description
Mortreth is a modern, spacious 3-bedroom end row cottage in the seaside village of Porthtowan, just 5 minutes off the A30. It is a short walk from the beach and the village's many amenities.
Most importantly for the last 5 years our housekeeper is the lovely Wendy, whose day job is Duty Manager at a local Care Home. Consequently cleanliness is exceptional and even more so in these days of COVID-19.
With a balcony overlooking the bay Mortreth is a modern open plan property with a fully fitted kitchen; separate dining area, and a bright, airy living area. The open plan lounge and dining areas lead through patio doors to the private balcony with views of the bay and beach and it's a great place to watch the sun go down. Alternatively relax in the cottage garden and catch the last of the evening sun. With two doubles, one twin bedroom and a sofa bed in the lounge this an ideal family holiday home.
The cottage comes equipped with a stairgate, high chair, travel cot, bathroom step, childs loo seat, electrical socket covers and the garden is gated making it toddler friendly.
Porthtowan is a small village nestling into the cliffs of the north coast of Cornwall. It is set in an attractive cove with a large, sandy, blue flag beach bordered by rock pools. It lies on the National Trust Coast Path and the main attractions of Cornwall are all within easy reach.

“Great”
Our favourite place to stay and we've stayed in a few. Everything you need. Maybe a blackout blind in the upstairs bedroom.

Response from the owner My fault! There is a blackout blind on the velux window but it’s built in so sometimes it’s easy to miss.

“Mortreth Cottage Porthtowan”
The cottage is well presented, beautifully clean and offers all the home comforts you could need. A welcome pack of bread, butter & milk is a lovely idea. The fact that the hosts provide everything you could need for the perfect beach holiday makes such a difference, not having to bring your own boards and beach towels is a joy! Porthtowan is a fabulous Sandy cove with a huge beach, rock pools and of course surf! Places to eat range from the Unicorn where you need to book, the chip shop and of course the beachside BlueBar. Where good food, drink & views are plentiful. We couldn’t recommend this cottage highly enough it’s perfect for a Cornish Getaway. Photos show the interior & the view from the balcony.
