Kittiwake Cottage has three-bedrooms - a double room, a twin-bedded room and a single room - and is equipped for up to five adults and/or children. There is also a standard-sized cot which can be pre-booked. The cottage has oil-fired central heating, with thermostat-controlled radiators in all rooms.

The front room has comfortable seating for five, a television and DVD/CD player and a wood burner for cooler evenings and autumn or winter stays. Lots (and lots!) of books and jig-saws, games, DVDs and CDs are provided in case the sun goes in on the odd day.

The kitchen-diner has a pine farm-house table and chairs, oven, gas hob, fridge and dishwasher and is equipped with kettle and toaster and the usual pots and pans, crockery, glasses and cutlery. Tea-towels are supplied. Washing machine, freezer and tumble dryer can be found in an outside laundry room and there is a 'garden loo'.

All beds have duvets, with bedding and towels supplied - but please bring beach towels witih you.

The bathroom has a bath and modern shower.

We still have a lot of work to do on the garden, but have done some planting in the greenhouse and raised beds to provide you with some fruit and vegetables if you come at the right time! Our duck visitors (see photo above) no longer pop in and I wonder if they were just using our garden for spring-time frolics! I think they liked the peace. The cottage is tucked behind the main road through Portreath and very quiet. You can sometimes hear the surf from the back garden, however.
