About this property
Bay View is a stunning holiday lodge located in the beautiful seaside village of Portreath, tucked away in North Cornwall. Situated in a holiday park, this property boasts close proximity to endless amenities and the beach, making it an ideal summer escape for families and groups travelling with a furry friend or two. On the property's decked veranda, you'll find seating for you to enjoy your food in the sun and a hot tub for you to sink in while you take in the view of the coastline. Step inside to find a well-presented, contemporary, open-plan living space complete with a seating area and woodburning stove for you to warm up by. From here, you can find a dining table where you can catch up on the day’s activities, and a well-equipped kitchen for you to cook your tasty meals. Walking further into the property, you'll find a sleek bathroom in which you can soak in the bath while watching your favourite show on the embedded TV, and three beautifully-decorated bedrooms, all boasting their own TVs, just in case you can’t agree on what to watch. Tear yourself away from your haven to visit the rest of the park and village where you'll be spoilt for choice of eateries and activities; tuck into a delicious meal at Portreath Arms pub with its beer garden overlooking the sea, head to Pod Café Portreath for some delicious breakfast and local treats such as Cornish pasties and ice cream, and bask in the sun on the soft, fine sand at Portreath Beach. Drive down to the amazing coastal town Falmouth and visit Pendennis Castle, a stunning castle built by Henry VII with breathtaking estuary views. Walk through Trebah Garden a sub-tropical paradise with seasonal blooms, trees and a private beach, and for a taste of history go to the National Maritime Museum Cornwall to see the boats and other maritime artefacts. Another lovely seaside town for you to visit is St. Ives, Cornwall's best-loved town, where you can walk through the exhibitions of Tate St Ives, the iconic gallery overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, head to The Leach Pottery and try your hand at making your own ceramic trinket, and end the day at Porthgwidden Beach Cafe for some beachside dining on a sun terrace. Bay View is the perfect base for a coastal holiday.
Dating back some 500 years, the fishing village of Portpatrick features a small rocky bay, sheltered by cliffs, and was once a thriving seaport. Today known as the 'Jewel in the Crown of Galloway', it boasts a variety of stunning cliff-top walks, secluded bays and beaches, and a fine selection of harbour-side pubs, restaurants and gift shops. At the south end of the village visitors can find the Lighthouse Pottery, offering stunning views of the area, and evoking the sense of an amphitheatre, with a line of attractive buildings stretching across the skyline. Portpatrick is also home to one of the 30 life-boat stations in Scotland, offering an exhibition that is well worth a visit. There is an excellent beach with launching ramp, both rock and freshwater fishing, and several boats, which transport sea anglers out from the harbour to catch warsse, cod, mackerel, whiting, plaice and skate. With golfing, bowling, and tennis facilities close by, Portpatrick is the perfect location for a relaxing break.

This property is not over looked which is brilliant. The view is great which you can see from all aspects of the lodge. Very clean, and with everything you would need and more! The games and outdoor equipment are a very nice bonus. The location also has lovely swimming pool, restaurant on site and park. You can walk to the beach 1 mile away, portreath is great a traditional cornish village. We have had a very restful week and will be back. Great interaction from owner. Absolutely nothing to fault!

The lodge felt very secluded, great position within the park. The hot tub was excellent and well maintained throughout the week. The Property Manager was very supportive when we had issues with the golf ( being charged when it should be free). Good communications prior to arriving. The lodge was furnished to a high specification. The twin rooms were a little small for adults. Would be fine for children. Plenty of comfortable living area space though. A few more large saucepans would be useful as we cooked in a lot. And some more crockery. We would certainly recommend staying at Bayview. We hope to return again in the future.

Bay View is an amazing property and we loved our time here. Everything you could need was provided with a fully equipped kitchen. The hot tub was amazing and a welcome sight after long walks on the coastal path. This property is located in a beautiful part of the country with so many gorgeous walks on your doorstep. We were very sad to leave. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay at this hidden gem. Weâve made memories for a lifetime.
