Exceptional Service

Our award-winning Guest Services team will not only help you find your dream holiday but will support you through every step of your stay.

Step through the sleek front door into a dramatic foyer where the spiral staircase immediately draws the eye upward, promising wonder at every turn. The architecture flows subtly between levels, inviting movement through light and space.

The main living area is spectacular. Expansive glazing frames endless sea views and sliding doors open onto the terrace so indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly. Chesterfield sofas, soft lighting, and elegant finishes make it equally inviting for relaxation or gathering.

Off the lounge, the snug doubles as a games room and flexible retreat. It features a comfortable sofa bed, smart TV, a collection of board games, and a desk for those who wish to catch up on work - all in a cosy, private corner.

A high-spec German Nolte kitchen anchors the home, with handcrafted cabinetry, granite surfaces, a sociable breakfast island and state-of-the-art appliances. Meals are shared around a bespoke Dekton dining table, and every moment is elevated by the ocean vista visible through the large windows.

Four bedrooms are designed to be restful havens. Three come with Ercol beds, while one is flexible (zip-and-link) and can be configured to suit your party. Two feature private balconies looking out to sea, and another offers a Juliet balcony. Floor-to-ceiling doors and blackout curtains ensure that views and privacy coexist beautifully.

Three en-suite shower rooms and an additional full bathroom offer luxury fittings, rainfall heads, and elegant tile work. Every bath and shower is designed to feel indulgent, with premium Villeroy & Boch fittings throughout.

The exterior is equally striking. A broad terrace is furnished for lounging and alfresco dining, complete with a Big Green Egg BBQ and luxury outdoor furniture. Balconies off several rooms invite you to breathe in the sea air at any hour. A dedicated surf shed stores boards and wetsuits, and parking with an EV charger adds thoughtful convenience.

You will be given access to the key box for a flexible check-in.

Location

The neighbourhood

Set high above the cliffs of Porthtowan on Cornwall’s rugged north coast, this retreat enjoys one of the most dramatic positions in the region. From every angle, the views sweep across the Atlantic, with ever-changing skies and the sound of the sea creating a constant backdrop. Just a short walk away lies Porthtowan Beach, a Blue Flag stretch of golden sand fringed by cliffs and caves. Loved by surfers, swimmers and families alike, it offers rolling waves, sheltered rock pools and space to simply stretch out and soak up the Cornish sun.

The village of Porthtowan is small but welcoming, with a handful of local pubs, cafés and beachside eateries serving fresh seafood and hearty fare. The South West Coast Path passes close by, inviting you onto some of the most breathtaking cliff-top walks in the county. Head north towards Chapel Porth and St Agnes to discover coves and mining heritage, or south towards Portreath for wide vistas and peaceful stretches of coastline.
