Cosy with a real Cornish feel right on the beach, near Padstow.

You pay for the beach side location which is outstanding....accommodation which is decribed as 'quirky' is more like what was cheap 1970s student bedsit style accommodation... worn, run down decor and furniture....nowhere comfortable to sit indoors....Supposedly sleeps 4.... only if you don't mind a complete lack of privacy ... kitchen cramped and difficult to use... outdoor seating areas cramped and overshadowed by shrubs and trees - Expedia advertises it as having a hot tub....non-existant - parking entails reversing up a long narrow drive....access to accommodation from car is up an irregular and wobbly in places flight of stone steps. Disappointing accommodation but with a refurb it has massive potential.

Great location if you love to be in the sea and walking coastal paths pet friendly and a lovely beach shop nearby selling delicious food and hot drinks

Very cosy place right at the top of the beach. Jane is lovely!

An ideal location in a corner of Cornwall that feels relatively untouched. A quirky hideaway that has all you need for a holiday. The owner was lovely, and very helpful.

The location can not be beaten, right on the beach of Portcothan Bay. This is one of these places you're kids will remember when they grow older the time we stayed in the house with all the stuff found at the beach. It has great summer, beachie vibes and Jane is a lovelly host. Its a long way from where we usually live otherwise this would become our favourite weekend spot for sure

Our family of four (two boys aged 4-6) loved The Red Buoy - enough space and good that it’s separate from the main house as the kids weren’t quiet! I'd liked to have stayed longer to explore but most time was spent enjoying the lovely surf, beach and child friendly stream that runs alongside. We saw the best sunset ever on arrival as the bay faces due west. From reading the amenities list/reviews we were looking forward to accessing the beach directly through Glencoe’s enchanting wild garden, slate steps and driftwood gate - especially handy for quick visits to The Red Buoy’s toilet for our 4 year old and for carrying body boards. Instead we were a bit disappointed when Jane directed us to the beach via her driveway, main road and lane that runs past the shop next-door. Perhaps she was concerned about the kids slipping on the steps but we all enjoyed using the charming ones we encountered. The flat was cosily furnished with beach finds, comfy beds and country throws, a well equipped kitchen and good shower. The bathroom roof let the sun in to help dry swim wear. I loved Jane's artwork and 3D frames made from driftwood and wrecking items. No tv/phone reception but wi-fi worked and the boys were happy with children's dvds kindly provided, along with kids’ surf boards, plenty of loo-roll and local info. Jane is forthcoming and The Red Buoy is an absolute delight - we didn’t want to leave and would stay again in a heart beat, although we need to practise reversing!

Perfect stay with 2 adults and 7 years old child. Unique beach house attached to Jane's house. For people who appreciate a creatively made housing without too much luxury but with a great vibe. And a 2 minute walk to the porthocothan beach.

We loved our short holidays by Jane! Thank you so much for the wonderful time! We will come back!

If you are not looking for all the latest mod cons but are content to be close to the beach and coastal path this is a great place to stay.

Stunning location, everything you need for a great stay. Steps leading to property slippy when wet

Quirky, cute, quiet...near the beach, but still feels out of the way...a perfect little hideaway
