Holidays in Portreath

A perfect retreat all year round, self catering holidays in Portreath offer beautiful coastal walks along the spectacular cliffs towards St Ives Bay passing Deadman’s Cove, Ralph’s Cupboard and Hell’s Mouth, all bearing testament to tales of shipwrecks and smuggling.

Located just 5 miles North of Redruth, Portreath (meaning sandy cove) is a great place to explore the stunning scenery of the North Cornwall coastline. This part of Cornwall is renowned for its beautiful walks, and Portreath is no different. Walk east to Porthtowan or West to Basset’s Cove; either way you’ll be treated to gorgeous views. 

With excellent road links, you can easily reach Truro, Newquay, St Ives, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Holiday cottages in Portreath make a great base from which to explore all that Cornwall has to offer.

Did you know...

Portreath was one of the busiest and most important mining ports in Cornwall?

Portreath beach

If you fancy staying put, a trip to the beach offers a great family day out. Portreath beach is lifeguarded during the summer and as such is popular with families. It’s also ideal for surfing, and is a popular surf spot with the locals. There are surf shops, beach shops, cafés, a fish and chip shop and toilets on the beachfront with other facilities including 3 pubs, a bakery and a post office/general store in the village itself. Dogs are welcome on the beach in the off-season.

Just off the beach at Portreath is the tiny island of Gull Rock. Home to a variety of bird species this is a good spot for birdwatchers if you can get a close enough view!

Kayakers can venture to the east and west and to offshore islands where you can experience the views of the coastline from a different perspective, visit secluded beaches and explore caves in the cliff face. West Cornwall Adventures are on hand to show you the ropes at kayaking, surfing and coasteering for anyone who fancies a go. The surf shop by the beach hires out wet suits and watersports equipment and also offers surfing and bodyboarding lessons.

With a stream running into the sea, and a distinctive harbour, Portreath is a beautiful place to enjoy a holiday. Portreath’s first harbour was built in 1713 by mining adventurers needing a port for their minerals. The remnants of the second harbour that made Portreath a coastal port in 1760 still exist today. 

Things to do near Portreath

Just outside Portreath, Tehidy Country Park has 250 acres of woodland, lakes, bridleways, cycling and nature trails with several ponds and a lake with an array of waterfowl. Illogan Woods is adjacent to Portreath with picturesque bubbling streams and a circular walk leading to the 14th century church tower of Illogan.

If you haven’t brought your bike with you, cycle hire is available on the road to nearby Porthtowan, which means you’ve got no excuse not to take advantage of the cycling trails in the area. From your holiday cottage in Portreath, you can cycle The Mining Trail path (Bissoe Trail) that follows the old tram lines across the county from coast to coast, finishing up at Devoran resting on Restronguet Creek just a few miles from Truro Cathedral.

No 6 is our favourite go to holiday in Cornwall. A lovely welcoming house that has everything you need for a lovely family holiday. Great kitchen and utilities, comfortable lounge and bedrooms. Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend. So close to everything Portreath has to offer.

This was the second time we’ve stayed at Number 6, and we yet again loved it. It’s a great property in a great location!

This is our third year at Number 6. It is in an excellent location, only minutes walking distance from the beach, shops and cafes. The house is superbly equipped and very comfortable and the attractive garden is secluded. We will return.

Yet another fabulous holiday in Number 6. It is our little home from home. Everything has been thought of. Light and airy beach feel, very comfortable. Brilliant kitchen with literally everything you could need. Dishwasher and washing machine are spot on. Comfortable beds, great shower. Fab TV. It’s about 2 minutes from everything in Portreath. A gem of a property in a wonderful location. We will be back x The Morton Family August 2023

Had a lovely family break at Number 6. Exactly what we needed and the house was ideal for our needs.

The small bedroom with bunk beds was not very comfortable, but we managed to the other two rooms.

Location was what we hoped for and the house had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed the games.

Thank you! ??

Reply from Aspects Holidays

We are so pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay at Number 6; it certainly sounds like you all had a great time. We are sorry that you found the bedroom with bunk beds uncomfortable. As things like this can be subjective, we will monitor comments to keep an eye on guest preferences over the coming months. Thank you again for your review. Lucy, Customer Services

Stayed as a family of 4 (2 grown children). Very happy with No.6’s cleanliness and level of furnishings. Felt like home from home. Would have no issues booking for a second time. Location to the beach was perfect. The rear garden was secure and private and we felt comfortable leaving our wet and sandy beach gear out to dry. The off-street garage parking was tight for our Nissan Qashqai, but by removing the roof box we were able to park half in/half out the garage whereby we could leave the outer up and over garage door open with the added inner second roller-shutter door forming a secure back section.

We returned to number 6 for a second year. It is in a superb location, just a few minutes flat walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. It is extremely well equipped and decorated and the attractive garden is not overlooked and is very private. The owners have thought of everything to ensure that we had a wonderful holiday.The Tehidy Golf Club with Its beautiful course,welcoming staff and only a few minutes drive away is an added bonus We would thoroughly recommend Number 6 to our friends and we hope to visit it again.

Number 6 is a little gem of a holiday home. We have stayed before and hope to stay again. Genuinely a home from home with the beach on your doorstep!

Number 6 is a lovely property in a great location. It has a garage for a car (our Ford Focus fitted in, but we had to remove the roof box and unload the car and everyone but the driver before reversing in, and the garage door wouldn't close, but we found that acceptable given the great location). The property is a good size for four people (we were two adults and two young children), with plenty of space upstairs and downstairs. The beach is only a short walk away, which we loved. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful house with a fantastic location. Yes the parking is a little awkward but being able to walk to the beach more than makes up for this.

We enjoyed our stay at No 6 - very clean and well equipped. Lovely to be able to walk to the beach. Well placed for exploring what Cornwall has to offer.

This was our first time using Aspects and would highly recommend. There was a last minute issue with the house we originally booked and they sorted this out very efficiently, finding us a new place and kept us informed. We will definitely use them again.

We had a wonderful holiday at Number 6 .The beautiful beach, local shops and cafés are less than a five minutes level walk.The owners have equipped the property to the highest standard and have thought of everything to ensure sn enjoyable stay. There is a lovely secluded garden,the television offers many channels and we were able to park our Volvo XC60 on the drive. We will definitely return and we will be recommending Number 6 to all our friends

Mr.and Mrs Fisher June 2022

We had a really lovely week at number 6. It was clean, modern and had everything we needed. Really useful to have two fridges. Would definitely recommend it. (Our Citreon C4 grand Picasso could just fit in the garage which was great.)

No 6 is a lovely holiday home. Very close to the beach. Furnished to a high standard, with everything you could need. A good kitchen with all appliances working to a high standard. Comfortable seating and beds. Crisp white sheets and lovely white towels. Great shower. Only thing is our estate car didn’t fit into the garage. Great holiday and would stay again. C Morton (family of 4)

We had a fab time here, would return for sure. Excellent location and lovely chippy near by. Great service by Aspects and Becky the house keeper. Loved our holiday and can’t wait to return.

Our party was a family of four (2+2)

A lovely home from home. Location fantastic (a stone's throw from the beach)

Property was spotless on arrival and well stocked (kitchen had utensils galore, two fridges, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher - lounge stocked activities such as books and board games to keep young minds occupied. TV offerings were very generous - host shared Netflix, Amazon prime TV, NOWtv and sports channels galore - ace)

We loved the hosts welcome pack which provided recommended walks and local facilities and amenities.

On street parking is restricted - due to beach location - so make sure to use the garage provided (was a squeeze to fit our SUV but it did fit)

The location is great as a base to explore further afield in Cornwall too. We visited many a beach, rock pool, Flambards theme park and other local attractions.

Only thing we would have preferred would have been a little more sun but we avoided rain!

Advice: check in and check out days are commonly Saturday. Give some thought, when planning your journeys, to set off a little earlier and avoid the traffic. We were very fortunate to avoid traffic jams in general but did see some frustrated looking drivers on the other side of the road at times!

All in all a wonderful holiday and a fantastic place to call 'home' for the week. Thoroughly recommend

No.6 is not chi-chi and doesn’t pretend to be so, it is a lovely down to earth base from which to enjoy everything this part of Cornwall has to offer. Sure you could pay more and be in somewhere far prettier and fancier but why bother when it has everything you could possibly want literally on your doorstep and inside. A great little find.

Really clean, comfortable and well equipped property in a great location. We had a great family holiday and I would highly recommend this cottage.

The holiday booking was straight forward, aspect have a good selection of properties of good standard all in great locations. The service was good throughout from point of booking, during our stay and on departure.

This property is in a brilliant location with a lovely garden. There is a garage for car parking which was ideal for our Fiesta. Overall it was a great holiday home!
