Driftwood - a holiday home that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Driftwood is magically situated a stone's throw from one of the best beaches in Cornwall, Driftwood is dog friendly (there are summertime dog restrictions on the beach, see below) The accommodation comprises a fully fitted kitchen diner, and living room on the ground floor with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

Porthtowan is one of the finest beaches on the North Coast, there is a vast expanse of golden sand at low tide which is ideal for a family game of rounders or cricket. Flanking the beach are impressive cliffs, rock pools, caves, and a tidal pool, but Porthtowan is renowned for its fantastic curling break, there is lifeguard cover during the Easter holidays and from May through to September, and there is a surf school that can teach anyone from 8 years upwards, at the top of the beach is a playground. There are a plethora of dog walks nearby from cliff walks on the coast path, please keep your family friend on a lead, on the beach (however dogs are banned between 10am and 6pm between May 15 and September 30), to exploring the rich mining heritage including Wheal Coates, the archetypal Cornish engine house, dramatically perched on the cliffs at Towanroath approximately 1km north of the beach.
