The Experience

The beach is a short walk, the cliff path crosses National Trust coastline, the quiet village has a surf school, snazzy restaurant, shop and fish ‘n’ chips: all the ingredients for a terrific seaside holiday. The cottages are part of a horseshoe of converted farm buildings with communal gardens all tucked into a hillside with views over the Vale of Lanherne and out to sea.

Underfloor heating and roaring fires keep you warm in the open-plan living rooms. Soak in a roll top bath; blast away sand under a huge shower head outside No 6. Cook in sunny kitchens that catch the morning sun and, if you take both cottages, there’s plenty of room for 10 at the table.

Outside: watch the sunset over the bay with an evening drink and gaze up at the ‘living roof’ of flowers. Explore a coastline of stunning coves and beaches or tackle the coastal path which stretches to Newquay, Watergate Bay and Padstow (good bus service, too) and there’s a friendly outdoor cafe with ducks and geese down the valley on your way to the ancient village of St Mawgan – a 40-minute walk through woodland and fields.

Reviews

I loved 5 and 6 with their quirky interiors and a sense of a really welcoming home from home.The lovely sandy beach and coast path are on the doorstep and whatever the weather the setting is perfect. Carol clearly loves the cottages and has filled them with furniture and furnishings that give them a fabulous eclectic feel. Really special places to while away time and escape.

We had such an enjoyable stay at 5 Porth Farm Cottages. Everything we needed was provided (even a garlic press!). The cottage was spotless & very cozy and comfortable. Perfectly situated for the short (if steep) walk to the beach & the local shops & eateries. We had 2 amazing walks from our doorstep. We followed the river to St Mawgan for lunch and a visit to the historic church. And we walked the cliff tops to Watergate Bay; stunning views all the way. Amazing bathroom, underfloor heating and the most spectacular sunsets over the sea. And we got sunshine! Couldn’t ask for more. Thanks.

A really lovely cottage - not flashy, but thoughtfully put together with everything we needed for a great family holiday. The kids loved the garden and being able to walk to the beach and the views out over the countryside are beautiful. We'll be back!

I had the most wonderful week in 6 Porth Farm Cottages. The cottage was beautifully cosy and just a short stroll from the gorgeous beach. The views across the fields and the sea were stunning and it really was the perfect location. Carol, the owner, shared a brilliant welcome note with fantastic recommendations of where to eat, walk and explore. Highly recommend the cottages and will be hoping to return!

This was our 2nd visit to Porth Cottages and it didn't disappoint! We had a fantastic week - the cottage had everything we needed and we enjoyed using the outdoor space. Within walking distance to restaurants/pub, the beach and lovely coastal walks. We shall definitely be back again!

Location

The neighbourhood

You're in an AONB owned by the National Trust and the whole coastline is dotted with iron age forts and settlements. There's a little shop in the village, a fish and chip shop, a restaurant and two cafes, but you'll need to go to Newquay to stock up properly. The South West Coast Path is on your doorstep for bracing walks - seven miles to Newquay and Watergate Bay. Mawgan Porth beach is a five-minute walk and you'll find a good pub in St Mawgan - a very pretty 40-minute walk.

Local points of interest from Carol & Peter Misch

  • Coastal path, dramatic cliffs, sandy beach, rock pools, river, sea caves, surf school all minutes away. Bedruthan Steps is a famous dramatic viewpoint locally with a National Trust teashop serving the best Cornish teas with a view!
  • Ideal for family & friends gatherings as the cottages are in a horseshoe of 8, of which several are let by the owners. many families return each year, also perfect for walking parties, or a quiet winter retreat.
  • Eden Project is a 40 minute drive, the winter a perfect time to warm up in tropical rainforest and desert Biomes, ideal for families, catering for all ages.
  • A perfect spot from which to explore Cornwall's famous gardens..Lost Gardens of Heligan, Trebagh, Trelissick and Glendurgan all within easy reach.
  • The winding narrow lanes of St Ives are only an hour away and Tate St Ives is a must for all art lovers. Barbara Hepworth's Studio and garden, Newlyn Art Gallery and Penlee House Gallery and Museum near Penzance are not to be missed!
  • Eco Spa and luxury hotel the Scarlet and Bedruthan Steps Hotel and Spa both a 5 minute walk. Falcon Inn at St Mawgan

Introducing

Carol & Peter Misch

Carol, Peter and their now grown-up children used to rent whichever of the cottages was available from the owners, who had bought and developed the farm buildings in the 1930s. They came for the beach and surf and when the cottages came up for sale just had to buy them. Using talented craftsmen to build the internal woodwork and guided by Peter’s very specific eye for detail they created two uncluttered cottages perfect for summer and winter stays.
