Imagine waking to the distant sound of waves, breathing in fresh sea air as you sip your morning coffee on a private terrace overlooking one of Cornwall's most spectacular beaches. Welcome to Castaways, a charming holiday cottage nestled in the unspoilt coastal village of Porthtowan.

This beautifully appointed cottage offers the perfect balance of coastal comfort and contemporary living, ideal for families, couples, and friends seeking an authentic Cornish escape.

Throughout, Castaways' tasteful maritime touches remind you of your privileged coastal location without ever straying into seaside cliché.

Step outside to discover why Porthtowan has captivated visitors for generations. The village sits within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on Cornwall's spectacular north coast. Its Blue Flag beach is renowned for golden sands, excellent surf, and dramatic cliffs that glow amber in the evening light. At low tide, explore fascinating rock pools teeming with marine life or wander along the shoreline as the sun sets over the Atlantic.

Beyond the beach, Porthtowan offers delightful local amenities within walking distance. Enjoy freshly caught seafood at the beachfront Blue Bar, pick up essentials from the village store, or treat yourself to traditional Cornish ice cream from the beach café. The South West Coast Path passes directly through the village, offering breathtaking walks along rugged cliff tops to neighbouring St Agnes or Portreath.

For those wishing to explore further afield, Castaways provides the perfect base. The bohemian surfing town of St Ives, historic St Michael's Mount, and the culinary delights of Padstow lie within easy driving distance. The vibrant cathedral city of Truro is just 9 miles away, offering excellent shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.

After days filled with coastal adventures, return to Castaways to unwind. Watch the sun sink into the sea from your private garden, plan tomorrow's explorations beside the warmth of the wood burner, or simply relax with a glass of wine as stars appear in the famously dark Cornish night sky.

Castaways isn't simply accommodation; it's the cornerstone of holiday memories that will call you back to Cornwall year after year. Book your stay today and discover why our guests return time and again to this special corner of Cornwall.
