9 Glendorgal

Families and couples will find 9 Glendorgal suits a quiet seaside break, set within the grounds of a former hotel estate on a private headland. The reverse-level layout means the main living space—kitchen, dining and sitting area—sits upstairs with a balcony overlooking Porth Beach, while both bedrooms are on the ground floor. One has a king bed and patio doors to an enclosed garden; the other has twin single beds. Two bathrooms mean everyone has space to themselves, and essentials like heating, linen and Wi-Fi are included.

The estate sprawls across 17 acres with direct access to the beach and coastal paths. Porth Beach itself is sheltered and sandy, popular with families for its reputation as one of Cornwall's safest swimming spots. A short drive brings you to Lusty Glaze, where an adventure centre runs surfing, coasteering and kitesurfing, or to Fistral Beach if you're chasing serious swell. The kitchen is properly equipped for self-catering, with a gas hob, electric oven and washing machine, while a TV and Freesat keep you entertained indoors. One car can park on-site. The property is entirely yours, though smoking is not permitted, and one well-behaved pet is welcome.
