The Space:
Sleeps up to 5 guests in the bedrooms, made up of a master bedroom with distant sea views, a second bedroom which can be set up with either 3 single beds or 1 single and a king size bed. There is also the possibility to sleep 2 guests on the sofa bed in the living room. The bedrooms both share a good sized bathroom with shower/bath unit and toilet.
Downstairs there is a cosy living space with comfortable seating. We have an electric look-a-like woodburner, so is great for winter stays too. There is also a flat-screen TV, selection of books, childrens games and WIFI to keep you (and the kids!) entertained. The kitchen/diner is well equipped with everything you should need for cooking meals during your stay. It includes a microwave, toaster, kettle, oven, hob, dishwasher. There is also a washing machine to be used at your convenience.
Infront of the house is a large garden shared between our home and 2 others. With unobstructed views of the valley below and out to sea, this space is the perfect spot to relax during summer stays. What's more, the sun sets out to sea in front of you, which only adds to the tranquillity! You can also enjoy your own terrace at the back of the property, equipped with BBQ and picnic bench. Inside the shed we have some beach toys and loungers for you to enjoy.
17 South Wheal is set in a charming and quiet residential area, we ask all guests are considerate of the neighbouring families during your stay.
Porthtowan is a secluded beach town with a great selection of cafes, restaurants, pubs and takeaways. Several of these are right on the beach and are perfect for having a relaxing drink at sunset! There is also a small convenience store. The beach is very popular with surfers and has consistent surf for most of the year. There is also a surf school for beginners and lots of places to rent equipment.
5 minutes drive around the headland is the larger town of St Agnes, which also has a wide range of shops and places to eat & drink. Alternatively, you can walk round to St Agnes via the beautiful coastal paths.
