About this cabin rental
The Red Buoy is an idyllic sunny beach apartment attached to a Victorian slate house right on Porthcothan beach. This beautiful beach has sand dunes, caves, rock pools, surfing and is fantastic for swimming and fishing. The coastal path runs right past the end of the garden with wonderful cliff walks, stunning views and great birdwatching. This apartment has whitewashed wooden walls throughout. The kitchen and bathroom have a conservatory roof and are very light and sunny. The kitchen shelves and work surfaces are hand crafted from hardwoods washed up on Cornish beaches. The double bedroom is like a ships cabin, with a lot of cupboard space and an ensuite bathroom (shower, basin and WC). The living room has a futon sofa bed, armchairs, table and four chairs, oil heater, maps, books and games. It has TV/SAT, DVD/CD and wireless broadband. The entrance is through its own private garden with a hammock, washing line, table and chairs, access to a laundry room, telephone and the local shop.
Sun Decks: The kitchen has a wooden deck just outside the door where you can eat at a table a chairs provided. There is another wooden deck with a door onto it from the bedroom, a suntrap in the afternoon.
Amenities at Cosy with a real Cornish feel right on the beach, near Padstow.

An ideal location in a corner of Cornwall that feels relatively untouched. A quirky hideaway that has all you need for a holiday. The owner was lovely, and very helpful.

The location can not be beaten, right on the beach of Portcothan Bay. This is one of these places you're kids will remember when they grow older "the time we stayed in the house with all the stuff found at the beach". It has great summer, beachie vibes and Jane is a lovelly host. Its a long way from where we usually live otherwise this would become our favourite weekend spot for sure

Our family of four (two boys aged 4-6) loved The Red Buoy - enough space and good that it’s separate from the main house as the kids weren’t quiet!
I'd liked to have stayed longer to explore but most time was spent enjoying the lovely surf, beach and child friendly stream that runs alongside. We saw the best sunset ever on arrival as the bay faces due west.
From reading the amenities list/reviews we were looking forward to accessing the beach directly through Glencoe’s enchanting wild garden, slate steps and driftwood gate - especially handy for quick visits to The Red Buoy’s toilet for our 4 year old and for carrying body boards. Instead we were a bit disappointed when Jane directed us to the beach via her driveway, main road and lane that runs past the shop next-door. Perhaps she was concerned about the kids slipping on the steps but we all enjoyed using the charming ones we encountered.
The flat was cosily furnished with beach finds, comfy beds and country throws, a well equipped kitchen and good shower. The bathroom roof let the sun in to help dry swim wear. I loved Jane's artwork and 3D frames made from driftwood and wrecking items.
No tv/phone reception but wi-fi worked and the boys were happy with children's dvds kindly provided, along with kids’ surf boards, plenty of loo-roll and local info.
Jane is forthcoming and The Red Buoy is an absolute delight - we didn’t want to leave and would stay again in a heart beat, although we need to practise reversing!

Perfect stay with 2 adults and 7 years old child. Unique beach house attached to Jane's house. For people who appreciate a creatively made housing without too much luxury but with a great vibe. And a 2 minute walk to the porthocothan beach.

If you are not looking for all the latest mod cons but are content to be close to the beach and coastal path this is a great place to stay.

Stunning location, everything you need for a great stay. Steps leading to property slippy when wet
4.0 / 10.0
You pay for the beach side location which is outstanding....accommodation which is decribed as 'quirky' is more like what was cheap 1970s student bedsit style accommodation... worn, run down decor and furniture....nowhere comfortable to sit indoors....Supposedly sleeps 4.... only if you don't
mind a complete lack of privacy ... kitchen cramped and difficult to use... outdoor seating areas cramped and overshadowed by shrubs and trees - Expedia advertises it as having a hot tub....non-existant - parking entails reversing up a long narrow drive....access to accommodation from car is up an irregular and wobbly in places flight of stone steps. Disappointing accommodation but with a refurb it has massive potential.

Quirky, cute, quiet...near the beach, but still feels out of the way...a perfect little hideaway

Unique and arty - we came with our bikes to cycle along the Camel Trail and loved this hideaway, with its beautiful art-works and beachcombed wooden shelves. The steps up are not for the faint-hearted (though we're both in our seventies and managed it OK) and don't expect all mod-cons (eg a dish-washer). Very comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen and lovely hot shower, though, and Jane was very friendly and accommodating. Porthcothan beach is on the door-step and the small shop nearby is useful for bread and milk. A great experience, recommended.

We had everything we needed for a holiday by the coast. Great for swimming (and surfing) and beautiful walks along the coast in both directions.

Quirky property. We had a really enjoyable few days there. Very well equipped and clean. Great base for exploring the surrounding area.
