This coastal cabin is a great retreat for a small family or couple that love beach days and exploring hidden coves and cliff-top trails. One furry companion is allowed here and there are several dog-friendly beaches nearby. Located in the quiet village of Porthcothan, this is a peaceful escape from the crowds. With Padstow 4.5 miles, Treyarnon Bay 1.5 miles and Bedruthan Steps 3.5 miles away, there are lots of coastal sights to discover.

An open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area gives the cabin a spacious feel and two comfortable sofas and a coffee table sit by a wood burner and Smart TV. Eclectic artwork hangs from whitewashed, wood-panelled walls and a blue, retro style fridge freezer stands beside wooden units. A dining table seats up to six in front of the window. Open the double doors to the garden and decked area with table and chairs, BBQ and outdoor kitchen. The enclosed outdoor space is ideal for the family dog. From the living area, enter the master bedroom where soft throws, wooden drawers and pictures create a restful ambience. The second double bedroom has a rattan armchair, a set of drawers and a wardrobe. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a rustic coastal theme. There is private parking for two cars.

Set apart from busier Cornish villages, Porthcothan feels more relaxed and traditional. The cabin is 1 mile from the beach, where you can walk along the coastline to grassy dunes and hidden coves. There are many beaches to explore close by, including Treyarnon (1.5 miles), Bedruthan (3.5 miles) and Constantine Bay (2 miles). At the fishing port of Padstow (4.5 miles), watch the daily catch land, take the ferry across the River Camel or go on a dolphin and seal-watching safari.

We spent an amazing week here, our favourite place to stay! Even without sunshine and warmth (which we were so lucky with this year) Strand Line is a great base to explore from. The cabin is beautifully set up, with so many individual and interesting pieces, its completely unique and looks exactly the same as the website pictures. The welcome milkRead more and biscuits are appreciated as well as use of the essentials which we dont have to bring/buy while were there (cooking oil, dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll etc). Thank you - well be back again in 2027! Hide
