Book this two-storey waterside property in a prime location with homely rooms catering for families and groups. The cottage is just 300 metres from the beach, a popular location for families with seasonal lifeguard cover, water sports, an amusement arcade, shops and restaurants. It's also sought-after by surfers with good-quality waves and two surf schools. Join the South West Coast Path, either west (0.5 miles) over the Carvannel Downs, or east (1 mile) past the lighthouse to a nature reserve.

The lounge lies at the rear, affording harbour views through the bay windows.

Outside, an area of lawn enclosed by brick walls and a gate is found at the front of the property, ideal for children wanting to play. The rear patio, furnished with a bistro set, is the place for adults to linger with a glass of wine and watch the comings and goings of the harbour directly beneath, separated from the property’s edge by a wrought-iron balustrade.

The Moorings is clean and has everything a family needs. It is very comfortable and couldnt be in a better position on the harbour. The beach is on the doorstep and hearing the water in the harbour from the back bedroom at night is lovely. There is room to sit outside at the front of the property and the back and comfortable outdoor chairs are prRead moreovided. The kitchen is well equipped and the dishwasher is a big plus along with a tumble dryer. Its brilliant having everything on the doorstep and not having to drive around at all. You cant beat the central position of The Moorings. Hide

A beautifully presented modern cosy cottage on the harbour-front at Portreath. For a city dweller, it was mesmerising watching the tide come in and out of the harbour from the comfort of the lounge and bedroom windows! Great position for the beach and many Cornish beauty spots, and great value for money. You can feel the welcome of the owner and thRead moree team as you walk through the door. Hide

Love the location and its proximity to the beach. Central for visiting other resorts in Cornwall. Very good value for money. Been coming for a number of years now and we all still enjoy our stay. Booked again for 2024

Perfect location, lovely house with everything you might need. Only negative is that the twin room is too cramped and very difficult to access the bed near the window without bashing legs. Would be better to put beds against walls either side of the radiator, would give more space. Cot unnecessary, provide a travel cot if necessary.

Overall dirtyness, sink, bowl, and drainer were filthy! Cobwebs everywhere. Mismatched uncomfortable furniture like an old people's home. Poor layout for watching TV - no basic channels either. I have plenty of photographs if you would like to contact me. We left a day early.
