Kippy Cottage sits right in the heart of Porthtowan, just a short stroll from the golden sweep of its beloved beach and the much-loved Blue Bar. It’s the kind of place where you can step out the front door and immediately feel part of the village’s easy seaside rhythm. Designed for families or friends looking for a stylish coastal base, this two-storey cottage pairs thoughtful interiors with that rare Porthtowan convenience and those unforgettable panoramic sea views you’ll find yourself returning to again and again.
Push open the door and you’re welcomed into an open-plan living space that naturally brings everyone together. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to piece together simple beach-day lunches or laid-back evening meals, while the banquette dining area makes shared mealtimes feel effortless.
After a day in the surf, the woodburning stove becomes the heart of the room, adding a warm glow as you settle in with good company. Throw open the French doors and step out onto the patio, where the sight of the ocean stretching out before you feels like an instant exhale. Morning coffee tastes better here, and watching the sun sink into the horizon becomes a highlight of each day.
Upstairs, the standard double bedroom offers a beautifully composed space with a Hypnos mattress, blackout curtains and views that remind you how close you are to the sea. The twin room is equally welcoming with Hypnos mattresses, soft natural light, blackout curtains, and plenty of storage for sandy bags and spare layers.
The sleek shower room makes getting ready simple, with a walk-in shower and heated towel rail adding a touch of ease to your mornings. Outside, the cottage continues to shine. The front garden includes surfboard racks and wetsuit drying space, ideal for beach-loving guests, while the rear garden catches the afternoon sun, making it a lovely spot for alfresco meals or a quiet moment after the day’s adventures.
When you are eager to explore Porthtowan, spend the day surfing or bodyboarding on its Blue Flag beach, wander the South West Coast Path for spectacular clifftop views, or enjoy food and sea vistas at the iconic Blue Bar. Venture to Falmouth for the National Maritime Museum, the subtropical paradise of Trebah Garden, and a vibrant selection of shops and waterfront dining spots.
