Great property, beautiful location

We had a lovely stay at this property in Porthtowan. We were a party of 8, 2 families, and the house was perfect. Very clean, everything we needed and a lovely welcome pack of goodies when we arrived. Brilliant communication throughout with the host. 5 min walk to the beach, great bar and restaurant also just a 5 min walk. Bit cold when we went but we braved the sea and so glad we did! Great time had by all.

Christmas and New year getaway

Sarah was a great host, the property had everything we xould have wanted for our stay, especially multiple bathrooms which is essential for staying with family. The house was warm, comfortable and a great suze too. Location was perfect, a short walk to the beach and nearby pubs. Lovely spot to see in the new year. Also there's great connections via bus and taxi services were easy to get hold of. Definitely would stay again! Thanks Sarah :)

About the host

Hosted by Sarah McGlyne

We are a family of five : Sarah, Gavin and our three daughters aged 16, 12 and 9. We live in Oxfordshire.
Since having children, we have returned year after year to Cornwall for the beautiful beaches, stunning coastline, foodie haunts and of course stress-free travelling, but found ourselves always day-tripping to the North Coast wherever we were staying.
So when we were looking for a holiday home, the North Coast was the obvious spot! A lunch at the Blue Bar in the middle of winter with the waves crashing onto the sand sealed the deal.
We like to holiday two weeks a year in our beach house ourselves. We continually explore new places, activities and foodie haunts as well as enjoying the fabulous beach just a walk from the house.

Why they chose this property

We only looked at the North Coast when we were buying as we love the variety of things to do on the beach as well as the dramatic coastline.
But we had a tall order, as we wanted a holiday home where we could lock and leave the car. In Porthtowan, we can do just that. The beach is an easy 5 minute walk downhill (longer uphill). On the beach we love surfing, body-boarding, rock-pooling, playing in the stream or the waves, building sandcastles or swimming in/jumping into the natural tidal pool.
There is a vibrant surf scene in Porthtowan and a solid local community.
We love the beach side eateries - the ice-cream parlour, the Beach Cafe and the Blue Bar for food and a few drinks watching the sun set on the horizon.
When we want to explore, there are many other great beaches in easy reach.

What makes this property unique

Anemone is within an eco- development of beach houses. It is a new house with a modern style. We have furnished with high quality items and attention to detail so that it's somewhere we really want to holiday ourselves.
It has a larger than average deck at the front where you can enjoy sun through the day into the early evening, complete with dining table and ample seating.
For colder months, we have added a new log burner.
The house is adjacent to communal outdoor showers for washing off the sand and has a surf store. Behind the property is the field where cows graze. There is plenty of communal space for kids to run off steam.
We love locking and leaving the car here. As well as an easy walk down to the beach and village with its amenities, we can walk directly onto the South West coastal path from the house to Chapel Path and St Agnes.
