Location Porthcothan is renowned as a surfing beach although the calmer weather in the summer also makes it popular for bathing. The South West Coast Path leads away from the beach in both directions over stunning headlands allowing breathtaking views and the beach is patrolled by lifeguards during the season.

. There are a great deal of compelling reasons why so many families return to this location year after year with beautiful golden sandy beaches, some of the best surfing in the United Kingdom and because of its close proximity to the Camel Estuary between Padstow and Rock. At nearby Constantine Bay is a local store catering for day to day needs and here one will also find the championship Trevose Golf and Country Club.

. The nearby town of Padstow has narrow streets lined with pretty granite and colour washed cottages that descend to the delightful fishing harbour where many shops, restaurants and public houses together with Rick Stein's seafood restaurant can be found. The sailing village of Rock is a short boat trip away on the regular passenger ferry service and there is also an out of hour's water taxi. About 15 minute's drive away is the larger market town of Wadebridge which offers a far more extensive array of facilities including a sports centre and cinema.

. The Atlantic Highway road runs along the north coast of Cornwall into Devon and is only a few miles further to the south to reach the A30 expressway which joins the motorway network at Exeter. One of the draws to this area is the simple access by rail and plane as there is a mainline station at Bodmin Parkway a few miles to the south and Newquay Airport at St Mawgan is about 10 minute's drive away with regular flights to London as well as other internal and international destinations.

Services The following services are available; mains electricity, mains water, mains gas, private drainage, telephone line, satellite television and broadband available. We as agents however have not verified connection

Directions Proceed out of Padstow on the B3276. Proceed through the village of St Merryn and follow the road past the left hand turn to Rumford. Continue though the narrowing lanes on the approach to Porthcothan Bay take the first left immediately after the pond, continue down this road passing The Roundhouse on your right hand side. Lanthorn House is the third property on your left hand side.
