About this house rental

Porteath Barn is a truly unique property. Secluded, extensive gardens and lakes, moments from the coastal path and a typically deserted beach, yet less than 5 minutes from Polzeath. The house and gardens are totally unoverlooked and comfortably accommodate 14, with an internal area of 300m2 and grounds of 5 acres.

The property is surrounded by sheep grazing farm land on 3 sides and National Trust coast land at the far end of the garden. The sea can be reached in 5 minutes on foot via a footpath leading directly from the garden to the coastal path. Epphaven beach is the nearest point, a beautiful cove which can only be reach by foot (or boat!)

Porteath Barn is a full equipped, large family home. The house has very recently been totally refurbished and newly furnished throughout, including solid oak flooring throughout ground and first floors.

Guests are welcome to wander throughout the very extensive gardens, with numerous seating points and sea view.

Wonderful, thoughtful welcome package, especially the wine, much appreciated by the birthday girl. A very well-equipped house in every way, so cosy but spacious. Amazing location with superb gardens and orchard. We all loved exploring the grounds and finding the various, stunningly located chairs and viewing points plus the walk down to the beach. Great games of football in sunshine and sometimes rain, but the weather didn’t detract from what was a most wonderful half-term holiday. Wish we were still there and so we would love a return visit. Thank you for this opportunity to enjoy such a wonderful house.

Hi Carolyn I just wanted to say we had a lovely week celebrating my Mom 70th Birthday in your beautiful home which had plenty of space to accommodate the number of people and all different generations the eldest been 94!, the barn was well stocked in addition to the popular pool and table tennis tables there were plenty of books, games and dvds to choose from as well as the amazing garden to explore and the weather was in our favour. The beds were very comfortable and we all enjoyed a restful week. We had a few minor issues Carolyn response was quick thorough and she took on board our comments. The Barn is perfect for a relaxing and tranquil escape from the everyday rat race.

We had a wonderful week here. The house was amazing. The table tennis table and pool table prompted huge long running tournaments over the week and Epphaven beach at the bottom of the garden is spectacular and beautiful. Made even more so by the lovely clean surf we had there for a few days.
