Curnows

About this property

Welcome to Curnows — a three-storey coastal retreat in the very heart of Portreath, where the Atlantic Ocean is always in view and the beach is just footsteps away. With panoramic sea vistas from the living room, balcony, and both top-floor bedrooms, this is a home where the coast becomes part of everyday life — a constant, mesmerising presence whether you're relaxing, dining, or drifting off to sleep. The views are simply extraordinary, From the spacious sitting room and the private balcony, you’ll enjoy a front-row seat to the waves crashing below, the shifting colours of the sea and sky, and the timeless rhythm of life on the Cornish coast, Watch the tide roll in, surfers ride the swell, and fishing boats dot the horizon — and if you're lucky, you may even spot dolphins playing in the bay, Seals are regular visitors too, often seen basking on nearby rocks or bobbing in the water just offshore — an unforgettable experience for nature lovers. Ideal for families, friends, surfers, and walkers, Curnows sleeps up to seven guests and welcomes two well-behaved dogs, The South West Coast Path is right outside your door, offering miles of spectacular scenery to explore, from hidden coves to soaring cliffs and windswept headlands. Inside, the ground floor offers a warm welcome with a double bedroom with sea views and a single bedroom with en-suite walk-in shower — perfect for rinsing off after a day on the beach or trail, The first floor features a well-equipped kitchen and a bright, airy dining room — perfect for gathering together over relaxed meals. But it’s the living area and balcony that truly steal the show, With uninterrupted views of the ocean, this is the heart of the house — whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or watching the sun set over the water, it's a place you’ll never want to leave. Upstairs, both super-king-size bedrooms (each convertible to twins) share those same stunning sea views, Drift off to sleep to the sound of waves breaking on the shore — a simple pleasure that makes staying at Curnows feel deeply restorative. In winter, Curnows becomes something truly special — warm, cosy, and perfectly positioned for watching the stormy seas roll in, Few places offer such a dramatic and peaceful winter escape, where you can witness the raw beauty of Cornwall's coastline in comfort and quiet, Watch the wind whip across the bay, waves crashing on the harbour wall, and clouds racing over the cliffs — all from the comfort of your living room or tucked up in bed. There’s secure storage in the garage for surfboards, wetsuits, or bikes, and the enclosed rear courtyard garden offers a safe spot for dogs to explore, Private off-road parking for two cars is also included for ease. Whether you're surfing, storm-watching, walking the coast path, or simply gazing out to sea, Curnows is your front-row seat to Cornwall’s ever-changing coastal magic — a place where the sea is always in sight, and nature is always just outside the window.

With its sheltered harbour, beautiful Portreath was, in the 1800s, a hive of activity and industry as a major tin-exporting port. Today, the village attracts visitors from around the world with its wild and rugged coastline. High cliffs, secluded coves and sandy, surf-washed beaches typify the area while all around are reminders of the area's rich industrial heritage. Portreath offers a small fishing harbour, shops, a number of pubs, three cafés and a Chinese restaurant, while its safe, sheltered sandy beach is a popular attraction. For a great day out, visit the cathedral city of Truro with its cobbled streets, shopping centre, theatre, museum and great restaurants, just 14 miles away, or travel a few miles along the coast and follow the vast expanse of sandy beach, which leads down to Hayle and on to St Ives. A delightful holiday location.
