LOCATION
Driftwood Studio sits in an elevated and world class position in between Porthcurno and Porth Chapel beaches which have both been described in the past by the Good Beach Guide as paradise. Perhaps the more famous of the two beaches is Porthcurno which lies in a sheltered south east facing valley within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with gorgeous fine soft white sand and high cliffs on both sides providing shelter and at the lowest tides of the year you can walk all the way around to Pednvounder beach and to the Logan Rock.

Porthcurno beach has always been popular with families and is internationally renowned for the Minack Theatre which was built in the 1920’s by theatrical visionary Rowena Cade and her gardener. This area of the extreme south west of the county is also particularly popular with walkers and ornithologists due to the rugged coastal scenery, granite cliffs and beautiful sandy coves. Also of note is Logan Rock which is famous for its 80 tonne granite rocking stone not forgetting the Porthcurno Telegraph Museum which paints the picture of Cornwall’s role in the pioneering days of global communications.

Porthcurno itself has its own pub and popular beach café whilst the village of St Buyan, some three miles away, has two excellent village shops, a primary school and an historic parish church. There are also other villages nearby with fantastic amenities. Treen has the Logan Rock pub and a thriving and friendly campsite through the summer months and Sennen Cove has the Old Success pub and fantastic fish and chip offerings with which you can watch the sunset over Cape Cornwall. Great surfing can be found at Sennen and Gwenver. St Just is also nearby which has great cafes and pubs. Penzance, the largest town in west Cornwall, has an excellent range of shops, supermarkets, banks and many other facilities. It is also an active port and is on the main Penzance to Paddington line. Nearby Newlyn has a booming fish market as well as the world-famous Jelberts ice-cream shop.

The rugged coastline of west Cornwall is renowned for its excellent walking and birdwatching and there are many delightful sandy coves in the vicinity. St Ives offers a plethora of surfing beaches and the Tate St Ives, whilst Mounts Bay is popular with sailors and windsurfers alike. Local golf courses include the West Cornwall at Lelant and Cape Cornwall near St Just.

Beautiful Location
Had a lovely stay at Driftwood. Everything is clearly explained(how to access the key and how things work around the house.)The house has a comfy sofa a lovely bed and wifi worked well during our stay. We planned a road trip around the south coast but ended up with long local cliff walks on our doorstep. Scones and tea on arrival was most welcome. Happy to recommend

Nette Location
Der Ausblick vom Ferienhäuschen ist umwerfend. Allerdings ist in unmittelbarer Nähe das Minack Theatre, das am Wochenende unzählige Touristen anzieht. Somit ist die An- und Zufahrt zum Haus eine wirkliche Herausforderung. Man sollte unbedingt gut zu Fuß sein, wenn man nicht ständig das Auto nutzen will. Leider gab es warmes Wasser nur in der Dusche.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Halstead

Host profile image
My mother was born and bought up in Penzance and we have holidayed in this area of Cornwall for many years. My husband was introduced to it years ago, when we met, and he also loves it. We've been looking for somewhere of our own for over 6 years and finally found somewhere we loved, so we can enjoy a home of our own with our kids too.

Why they chose this property

The sea view. The walking distance to the best beaches in the world! The feel of the place, the very comfortable double bed (we've stayed many places with small/uncomfortable beds, so were determined we would make sleeping and lounging comfortable!!) and good-sized towels! It has a lovely cosy feel, while being light and bright and giving plenty of space too. We frequently stay ourselves, so it is kitted out like a real home, rather than sparsely and cheaply!

What makes this property unique

Sea views, proximity to coast path and spectacular beaches
