About this house rental
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.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
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.

We enjoyed our stay, lovely beach , pub, bakers and convenient store all very close to property.lovely quiet town, with plenty of places to walk our dog.The house is a cosy little place, shower ceiling is a bit low, but wasn't a problem.would definitely recommend.

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.
