About this property

This enticing, mid-terrace holiday home, Tolcarne, rests on the coast in Porthtowan, Cornwall. The perfect setting for a family getaway, Tolcarne enjoys a quiet, rural location while the beach is only a stone's throw away. Head inside to be dazzled by this beautifully decorated accommodation, and make your way to the kitchen, which has an array of contemporary appliances within its sleek units and is well-equipped for any occasion; it even has a dishwasher for a swift, post-meal clean-up! When tasty dinners have been rustled up, take them over to the dining area which easily seats up to eight guests; ideal for a family get-together. After dinner, head over to the sitting area which has a Smart TV and three sofas, so you can spend the rest of the evening enjoying some well-deserved unwinding. When the day comes to an end, pick one of the four tastefully furnished bedrooms to retire to, the first of these sitting on the ground floor and comprising a double with an en-suite wet room, continue upstairs to come across the master bedroom, the perfect retreat for those after a little more privacy, owing to its wall-mounted TV, en-suite shower room and private balcony! Two twin bedrooms can also be found close by, one of which enjoys a high, vaulted ceiling, giving it a touch of opulence, and the other offering zip/linked beds, for added flexibility. All the bedrooms enjoy coastal touches, giving a lovely nod to the local area, whilst being within reach of a contemporary bathroom, where soothing soaks can be enjoyed in the bath. Situated behind the property is an enclosed yard, where you can follow the steps up to find a bubbling hot tub, where you can enjoy a relaxing dip and soak the day away! Porthtowan is not just a great spot for your amenities, but offers some amazing things to do, from a handful of gorgeous beaches and a rockpool within walking distance, to access to the South West Coastal Path, where you can hike into the St Agnes Heritage Coast area; it is truly idyllic! Spend some time in Portreath, home to the sight of the Portreath Daybeacon, as well as access to the fantastic Feadon Wildlife & Education Centre and Portreath Beach. For a day in the city, head to Truro, a bustling location that is home to a magnificent Cathedral for your to tour, the fantastic Truro Golf Club, where you can enjoy a round of eighteen-holes, and the famed green space of Boscawen Park; perfect for walks and picnics! The area is home to a plethora of things to see and do, with the sands of Perranporth and Newquay within reach, along with the gorgeous sights of Godrevy nature reserve; you'll rarely be bored. Tolcarne promises a fantastic stay in an equally amazing area.

Porthtowan is a modest village on Cornwall's picturesque west coast, famous for its Blue Flag beach, which exposes about a mile and a half of fine, pristine sands at low tide. The beach, which is surrounded by spectacular granite cliffs, is a popular surfing destination and is lifeguarded throughout the summer, making it perfect for families. Porthtowan is part of the St Agnes Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are some beautiful walks to be discovered along the South West Coast Path.

    Lovely lodge which is fabulously appointed and beds so comfy. We even survived storm Ciaran! Very relaxing and my husband and teenage sons loved the hot tub. We would definitely come here again!

    Lovely position, near beach. Road to it very narrow, Sykes say 3 parking spaces but only one when you get there and it states this in the property folder. Family member burnt his hand on a faulty radiator which later fell off the wall as brackets literally melted. This tripped the switch leaving us with very little working, including hot water in two bathrooms. Hard to contact anyone and had to use phone in nearby pub to leave message. Maintenance made live wire safe but was unable to fix/ replace. Left with one electric shower only do struggle for my elderly mother. Lovely welcome pack of cream tea on arrival, best hot tub and hot tub maintenance ever experienced. Homely feel, decor and comfort. I’m sure we would return again but only if Sykes can promise all facilities are in good working order and give clarity on parking space/ spaces?? Also, give clearer directions please as I used Google maps to find exact address.

    The beach bars are also easily walkable. The only thing the location needs is a road sign, as it's so easy to miss. The small road/track you need towards the houses, is immediately after a car park on the left. We have a lovely cream tea welcome pack left for us. The house itself is lovely, nice high ceilings and plenty of room. No wardrobes, just hanging rails, which is Ok for a short stay. But getting around the bed with that was a little annoying (we had the downstairs room). TV and Alexa. We didn't really cook much, but it was all there. Take some toilet roll, as there didn't seem to be quite enough for our weekend. The hot tub was a nice treat, and it actually stayed hot. Overall, we were really happy to have stayed there, and would consider it again.
