Overview

Welcome to The Beach House, one of Cornwall’s most exceptional beachfront holiday homes.

Perfectly positioned on the exclusive Smugglers Cove in Portreath, this luxury beach house enjoys what very few properties in Cornwall can offer – direct private access to the beach. Step through the gate at the bottom of the garden and within moments your feet are in the sand, ready for a morning swim, a day of surfing, or a sunset stroll along the shoreline.

Designed to maximise its spectacular location, The Beach House enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across the beach, the Atlantic Ocean and the dramatic Cornish coastline beyond. From the moment you arrive, the sound of the waves and ever-changing sea views create an immediate sense of calm. This is Cornwall at its very best.

Recently refreshed for 2026, the property has undergone a number of exciting upgrades. The bedrooms have been beautifully renovated, creating elegant and relaxing spaces designed for the ultimate night’s sleep. The kitchen has been further enhanced with new appliances, making it a dream space for everything from leisurely breakfasts to celebratory dinners. A cosy new snug has also been added, providing the perfect retreat to curl up with a book, enjoy a morning coffee, or simply sit and watch the local fishing boats and ever-changing sea life passing through the bay.

Sleeping up to 10 guests across four beautifully appointed bedrooms, this luxury beachfront holiday home has been designed for unforgettable family holidays, special celebrations and memorable gatherings with friends. Two of the bedrooms enjoy breathtaking sea views, while the spacious open-plan living areas provide the perfect setting for spending quality time together.

At the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen and dining space, where large sliding doors open onto the terrace, allowing the outside in. Enjoy long lazy breakfasts overlooking the beach, seafood feasts cooked on the Big Green Egg barbecue, or sunset dinners accompanied by the sound of the ocean.

Outside, The Beach House truly comes into its own. Spend your days watching surfers carve through the waves from the comfort of the terrace, before sinking into the hot tub overlooking the beach with a glass of something special in hand. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit beneath a canopy of stars and enjoy one of Cornwall’s most magical settings.

For younger guests, there is a dedicated playroom, while the cinema room provides the perfect space for movie nights after a day by the sea. Whether it’s family board games around the dining table, popcorn and films in the cinema room, or beach adventures from dawn until dusk, every generation is catered for.

Luxury continues throughout the property. Underfloor heating, a gas fire, smart TVs and high-end finishes ensure year-round comfort, while the beautifully designed bathrooms provide a spa-like experience, with three en-suite bedrooms and an additional family bathroom.

The location is equally impressive. Portreath is a charming coastal village with cafés, pubs and restaurants within walking distance, while the beach sits quite literally at the bottom of the garden. The South West Coast Path passes directly through the village, offering spectacular walks in both directions, while Cornwall’s many attractions are within easy reach.

To make your stay even more special, we can arrange a range of luxury experiences including private chefs, surf lessons, beauty treatments and in-house massages.

Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub overlooking the sea, cooking freshly caught seafood on the Big Green Egg, watching a film in the cinema room, relaxing in the snug with a book, or stepping directly onto the sand for a sunrise walk, The Beach House offers the kind of holiday memories that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.

If you’re searching for luxury beachfront accommodation in Cornwall, a beach house with direct beach access, or a family-friendly coastal retreat where the ocean is quite literally on your doorstep, The Beach House is one of the finest properties you’ll find.

Location

Local Area

We’d love to share with you some of our favourite things to do locally, in the village and beyond… Some things that you won’t find in any tourist brochures!!

A stroll up the Coast Path from Smugglers Cove in Portreath is a must, and is well worth the initial steep climb. You will discover the most mesmerising spots to watch the sunset; take a bottle of wine and a picnic if you can; you’ll be overwhelmed!

The coastal heathland blazes with gorse and heather and the grass fringing the path is sprinkled with wildflowers. If you’re lucky you’ll pass the wild ponies along the way too!

If you’re feeling energetic enough, follow the breathtaking coastline of high cliffs and secret coves, and you will come across Tehidy Woods, which you can also access from Cot Road, which leads directly into Portreath from Illogan. Tehidy has 9 miles of meandering paths, and 250 acres of peaceful lakes and woods to explore.

The woods are an enchanting place to visit all year round, particularly in April and May when the Cornish bluebells appear, making an even more stunning woodland walk, topped off with a traditional Cream Tea at their Country Park Cafe to rest those achey legs.

On the opposite side of Portreath, by the harbour you’ll find an equally beautiful coast path (Slightly easier on the legs!) which leads to Porthtowan, a small village famous for it’s surfing, fishing, and most importantly, its sunsets!

The walk is around 2 miles, and full of surprises. You’ll come across old mines, miles of ancient Cornish stone walls, historical landmarks and acres of Coastal flora. The Blue Bar on the beach is very relaxed, and we feel the best place to sit outside with a pint of Tribute Ale, soaking up the views and inhaling the refreshing sea air. Treat yourself to a delicious roast dinner at The Unicorn Pub, where all produce is fresh and local, and you can bring the dog too!

Just outside of Portreath, you will find a Bike Hire place called Elm Farm. The main Coast to Coast cycle trail runs for 11 miles from Portreath to Devoran, through Scorrier Woods, the Poldice Valley and alongside the stunning Restronguet Creek, and is almost entirely on purpose built cycle paths or quiet country lanes. At a leisurely pace it takes most people less than 2 hours, each way, to cycle the Coast to Coast Trail. If you are like us and fitness isn’t your forte, pop into The Fox and Hounds Pub mid route for a break and a well deserved drink!

Kayaking from Portreath beach is a must, if the seas are calm enough of course. You’ll find the most beautiful secluded sandy beach to the left which is almost always empty as it not accessible by foot. You are more than likely going to see seals along the way, and they often pop up next to the kayak to see what’s going on! Dolphins are often spotted in the bay, and if you take your snorkel, you could find spider crabs, lobsters, and even jelly fish!

Stretch your legs with a walk up to Gwel An Mor to visit their Feadon Wildlife Centre. Here you will see, and can meet the animals; Reindeer, Ostriches, Birds of Prey, Goats, Foxes and more. If you have children (big or small!) make the most of their Falconry Sessions and Wildlife Experiences.
The 9 hole golf course here is Award Winning, and makes for an adventure packed day, followed up by a round of archery, and a fishing session for Carp and Tench in Clover Lake.

If after all this you still have some energy (or time!), book the little ones into a session at Penny Red’s for pony rides they will never forget… All washed down by Fish and Chips and a glass of Camel Valley, at The Atlantic Cafe on the seafront. Enjoy!
