6-Bedroom Hot Tub Cottage in Porth

This five-bedroom beach house sits 100 metres from Porth Beach on the North Cornwall coast, at the end of a quiet no-through road. With generous proportions across two floors, it suits large families or two families sharing a seaside holiday.

A narrow wooden footbridge connects the beach to Porth Island, a headland where a blowhole sends rainbow sprays of water into the air at mid-tide. Streams, rock pools, and caves thread through the broad sweep of sand below – terrain made for sandcastle-building and exploring.

The coast path leads towards Watergate Bay (3.5 miles) in one direction and the rolling headlands of Mawgan Porth (5 miles) in the other, while Newquay's bays and beaches (1 mile) stretch along the coast to the south. Between the headland walks, cafes by the sand, and hours spent with nets and buckets in the rock pools, this stretch of coastline keeps all ages busy.

A wide hallway with vast glass doors frames views from the garden right through to the headland and the sea beyond. The open-plan living area is generous in scale, with a lounge warmed by a flame-effect gas fire, a dining space with seating for ten, and a kitchen with breakfast bar, lit by a feature skylight – sea views to the front, garden views to the rear.

From here, a spiral staircase winds up to a mezzanine study that overlooks the lounge, with direct access to the balcony. On the ground floor, one king-size bedroom has an en-suite shower room with walk-in shower and WC, while a second king-size bedroom offers a zip-and-link bed, an additional single sofa bed, garden views, and a TV.

The children's bunk bedroom completes this level, served by the family bathroom with bath, separate shower, and WC. The first-floor master bedroom has a king-size bed, a large picture window framing the sea, and a glass door onto the wide balcony.
