Very quaint Cornish cottage, many original features & redecorated to a nautical / shabby chic style. Cosy in winter and cool in summer. 100m to a white sand & clear blue water beach, perfect for body boarding/swimming, rock pools for kids. Coastal path on your doorstep as well as great places to eat/drink. 20 mins to St ives and a short journey to the south coast. The house consists of 2 bedrooms, both with double beds, a bathroom including bath and over head shower. Gallery style well equipt kitchen, good sized living room including a double sofa bed. The conservatory doubles as a dining room. Ideal for a couple or family.

If you wait for the tide to go out at portreath beach there is a natural swimming pool in the rocks to the right and you can explore all the caves to the left.

There are lifeguards on the beach through high season.

For places to go we would recommend:

the little cafe on the beach for a snack/hot drinks/ breakfast bap etc, eating out at the Atlantic cafe, & Basset arms (they have a quiz night). The hub has bike hire and a delightful cafe, if you’re lucky you’ll catch one of their themed nights (ticket only) every 2 weeks through the summer. Portreath arms has recently had a makeover and looks amazing, food great. Best pasties are from the local bakery (sell out by lunch time) and there is a local shop 2 mins from the cottage & they do cash back. In porthtowen the blue bar is a great spot, in st ives - porthmeor cafe and blas burger are amazing. Carbis bay is a beautiful beach if you go to st ives & we normally park at the station. For surfing or a long walk - Gwithian beach is stunning. Trip to trebah gardens and helford river (stopping at the ferry boat inn) is a great day out. You can book a river cruise that picks up at the Budock vean hotel.

    The house was just as we expected, small but perfectly appointed. The location surpassed all our expectations. Portreath has everything! The beach is just stunning and the natural rock pools are fantastic. The pubs, shops and takeaways mean you don’t have to stray too far if you are feeling lazy, but the location means you can jump on the A30 and visit anywhere in Cornwall with ease. Loved our stay.

    Very clean, host communication good, but advertising this property as sleeping 6 is a bit optimistic!! Its very convenient for beach access, but realistically this place is too small for a family with pre teen kids and 2 dogs. The photos are a bit misleading of how little space you actually have. Being a cottage, the low doors, small rooms and narrow doors/hallways are understandable . But, when you are 5’8 and still can’t stand upright in the shower because the ceiling is so low, have to climb over each-other to get to the other side of the bed, and go upstairs on hands and knees because they are so narrow and steep the novelty of this quickly wears off!

    Love Cornwall, always have which is why we keep visiting. We always book a cottage and try to stay local to a beach so our dog can have a good run about. Piskey Cottage is perfectly located for that. Any cottage serves as a base only and Piskey has all the amenities you wld need. Generally well kept but a bit more detail to the cleaning wldnt go amiss. The TV has subtitles stuck without the remote for the TV itself to be able to remove them. The washer dryer probably cld do with some attention to the panel as the buttons were a bit dodgy and whilst we managed to get it working there was often a fault light showing. Lets face it the cottage was fine as a base and serves our requirements.

    This is a beautiful old fisherman’s cottage a stones throw from the beach which is a perfect base for a holiday in Cornwall. Portreath beach is less than 5 minutes walk away and there is a grocery shop and numerous places to eat out / grab a takeaway. The cottage is clean, well kitted out and

    Had a really great little break here, excellent location, a short walk to beach and many other great places to visit by car nearby too. Cosy, lovely place and nice little garden too and overall very chill. Great that its pet friendly, I went with my dog who loved the beach Im glad we came in June when dogs are allowed on the beach (Check if you're taking a dog on what months they can go on beach)

    It was a nice stay in a quiet, neat surrounding, app. eight minutes walk to the beach. The cottage was sufficiently equipped for three adults. But we are sorry to say that it wasn´t cleaned properly: Dirt on the floor, hair on the bathroom floor, a lot of spider webs in the edges, the oven was very sticky and the fan above the stove was covered with dirt which made it unusable. The water kettle didn´t work. There are no plug-ins in the bathroom. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay very much.

    House was great, close to the beach, pub and the local amenities- probably one of the best beaches for swimming or bodyboarding and the local rental shop were friendly and really helpful ? the local pubs are fantastic- Portreath arms serves excellent food in the restaurant or great pub food in the bar - and the Basset Arms is everything a proper pub should be ;) the cottage was the perfect base with its cosy private garden and flexible sleeping - also positioned perfectly for exploring the SW coastal path - the walk to Porthowan was superb and the Unicorn on the beach a great pub to stop and eat ???
