Photos and Description of this 1 bedroom holiday apartment in Porthcothan - The Red Buoy
Romantic beach house in a fantastic location

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.

About Jane Darke

I am a painter, writer and film maker. I made a film about beach combing which was shown on BBC4 a few years ago. There is a copy in the apartment for you to see when you arrive. I spend a lot of time on the beaches and the main house has beach finds in the garden.

Jane Darke purchased this apartment in 1993
Why Jane Darke chose Porthcothan

My husbands family have lived in this house since 1947. They were a farming family.

What makes this apartment unique

The main house with the Red Buoy apartment attached is one of very few houses on the coast of Cornwall with a garden door which opens onto the beach. It is a very special place- everyone who comes here says so. The beach and cliff walks and coves are really beautiful in summer and winter- any time of year because its always different.

Charming cottage in lovely location

The Red Buoy is a charming, cosy cottage in the lovely Portcothan Bay.

The cottage was very well equipped, the kitchen especially so, and is decorated in a way that adds real charm. You are just a few steps from the lovely beach and the scenery is stunning.

Jane was a great host and always helpful if we ever needed her. We loved it and will definitely be returning.

We had a wonderful stay. The Red Buoy is clean, cosy and well equipped. The cliff walks are awe-inspiring and are only a stones throw from The Red Buoy. The beach is perfect for swimming and close by are some fun surf spots. Excellently located to nearby tourist attractions; Bodmin Moor, Padstein and The Camel Trail. Jane, the owner was extremely helpful and very welcoming. I would recommend a stay in the Red Buoy to anyone.

Red Buoy at Porthcothan

Lovely stay, in a sunny, comfortable, well-equipped apartment, unbelievably close to beautiful Porthcothan beach and cliff walks. Kitchen has everything you need, bathroom ensuite to bedroom. TV with Sky, DVD/CD player, lots of books and board games provided. Apartment garden is secluded, there’s a small pond, garden full of plants and flowers, and it has an outside, raised seating area with country views and is a real sun trap. Jane, the owner, is very welcoming and helpful. Apartment is attached to Jane’s home but it doesn’t feel like it, you are not overlooked, it is very quiet, and it has its own access separate from the main house and garden. Access to the beach and cliff walks is via Jane’s garden or from the village. A home-from-home to truly relax and unwind in after a day spent on the beach or walking.

The beach is great for swimming, surfing and exploring – sand dunes, caves, and rock pools. Nice pub, for views, at the top of the hill overlooking Porthcothan beach and bay. Local village shop, ideal for essentials (bread, milk, etc), and very nice ice cream. Really handy local bus service between Padstow and Newquay, stops off at villages enroute where you can pick up country walks.

The Red buoy

My girlfriend and i spent one week in the Red buoy. It was a relaxing and magical time. The Red buoy itself is the cutest place to spend your holiday in cornwall. It has a very homey and rustic feel with all the trappings of modern life, minus the stress! There are some amazing cliff walks either side of the beach. The owner is wonderfully welcoming and relaxed. we can recommend the Red buoy whole heartedly. The rest is for you to discover. Thank you again Jane. Justyna and Johnson. x
