Very happy with seagull cottage. They had everything we needed for our 2 year old which was great. It was in a very good location and was very clean and tidy. I would definitely reccomend this cottage.
Seagull Cottage was very spacious and cosy. I had three kids with me and it was the perfect location to the beach. Would have been great though if there was a shower or tap in front of the house so we don't have to trek so much sand in the house even after trying to wash it out with a bucket of water.
Everything is catered for. Enjoyed the sea view from the main bedroom window. Well equipped kitchen, even had body boards in the garage!
It was the location that attracted us to Seagull Cottage, and it certainly didn't disappoint. We are a family of 4, and our 4 and 6 yr old absolutely loved the fact that they could just go out of the front door and play safely on the sand on the small harbour beach. Looking forward to the tide coming in so that they could paddle and play on their bodyboards in the calm and clear water in the harbour beach was perfect. The main beach just a few steps over the wall was spectacular, clean and not crowded. The house itself was comfortable (lovely mattresses and bedding), and completely fully functional for our needs. The porch provided an excellent de-sanding area and storage for beach paraphernalia. The garage was very tight for our car- s max) and we couldn't shut the garage door, but this seemed to be the norm with the other cars down the street and wasn't a problem. There was a lack of recycling facilities at the house which was frustrating as it meant we had to put all our waste into the general collection bin, which is not ideal. Portreath has a lovely bakers, general store, pubs and restaurants and great fish and chips. Ice creams on the beach too. So we were very well catered for. We also did loads of exploring to other nearby beaches and generally had a lovely week staying here.
Our stay October, 2019
Property is an odd mixture of good and poor. Ground floor is reasonably modern and spacious, upstairs a little 'tired' and cramped. 1 handtowel between 4 people? The bathroom needs a refresh and the bath plughole/waste needs some attention so the water drains efficiently to avoid standing in inches of water when showering. Fitted kitchen but no dishwasher or tumble dryer? Some of the cutlery has seen better days but on the other hand there's a decent supply of such, crockery, glassware, utensils, etc. First impressions aren't great, broken back gate and weeds growing between the paving slabs. On the positive side, great location for the beach and our dog loved it! Basic local amenities. Bassett Arms serves good pub grub at reasonable prices and Fish & Chip shop is excellent!
