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 bed, armchair, table and four chairs, oil heater, maps, books and games. It has DVD/CD and wireless broadband. The entrance is through its own private garden with a 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.

The Red Buoy is a unique place, full of character and homely creative touches. During the hot hot weather, the flat itself was thankfully cool (except for the bathroom and kitchen, but that was the sun's fault!) and the covered outdoor space was very welcome. The bed is comfy. It's a stone's throw to the most beautiful beach. I wish we could have stayed longer

Wonderful and cosy place. So quiet and peaceful as well. The little galley kitchen really made me want to cook dinner there but we were only on a long weekend and there are too many great places to eat and drink all within easy distance - plus fish n chips on the beach as the sun sets. Really easy to find the place and once you’re there it’s such a simple walk back along the drive and you’re at the beach. Lovely coastal walks in both directions from the property as well.If you like to mix it up then there’s not just Porthcothan beach on your doorstep but you have really easy drives to Harland Bay, Mother Ivy’s, Constantine Bay, Booby’s Bay, Mawgan Porth and Watergate Bay. The coastal walk up around the headland above Tregirls is particularly beautiful. We ate at Rafferty’s in St Merryn (superb), The Cornish Arms also in St Merryn (very nice) and then got our fish n chips from Padstow as we know they’re very tasty from there and stay hot enough on the short drive back to Porthcothan to enjoy them al fresco.Jane was lovely- easy comms and we had no problems during our stay at all. Suffice to say we will be looking to rebook later in the year.

A comfortable and bohemian hideaway by the sea - a magic location and great facilities! Really enjoyed the extensive dvd collection when it was raining and loved how close the beach and village shop was. Jane was so very helpful and kind when I left my reading glasses behind. Would love to visit again.

Fantastic away-from-it-all place to stay, and Jane is a lovely welcoming host.
