Pebbles Portreath

A homely holiday property just 500 metres from Porthreath’s stunning beach, one of many that punctuate Cornwall’s rugged western coastline. Featuring a cosy lounge, games room and a landscaped garden, this dog-friendly property is well-suited to large families or groups keen to relax in comfort and enjoy easy access to the area’s coastal and rural communities.

Tucked away down a quiet residential road, the two-storey property has been finished to a high standard, its rooms painted in muted tones and covered with contemporary soft furnishings. Entering via the hallway, find your way into the cosy lounge, a place set up for afternoon naps as much as family film nights.

Elsewhere, the kitchen/diner is where foodies can create and consume guilt-free favourites to their heart’s content, working up an appetite in the nearby games room. The first floor is home to a family shower room and four stylish bedrooms: two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite; and two twin bedrooms, one of which can be converted into a super-king-size bedroom upon request.

A wonderful landscaped garden, complete with hot tub, patio, decked area and artificial lawn, is a fantastic setting for alfresco meals and dog-friendly games. The dogs can expect to find plenty of excuses for walks during a stay here, and it’s an easy 500-metre stroll to Portreath’s stunning beach and historic harbour, long a magnet for watersports and seafood lovers.

There’s direct access to the South West Coast Path from the village, a great way to see the coast from another angle. Other routes nearby take in reminders of the area’s mining past and a host of wooded areas.

For something farther afield, Godrevy Lighthouse, the village of Hayle and the vibrant seaside town of St Ives are all within 16 miles.
