The property's location is consistently praised for its proximity to the beach, local pubs, and cafes, making it an ideal base for exploring Cornwall. The convenience and accessibility to nearby attractions contribute to a high score.
Guests frequently compliment the comfort of the beds and the cosy feel of the property. There are a few mentions of uncomfortable beds and dated decor, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
The Chace is well-equipped according to guests, with mentions of a welcome pack and sufficient kitchen amenities. Some reviews suggest the need for updates and additional cleaning supplies, which affects the score.

About this property
Positioned just paces from the glorious sandy beach in Portreath, The Chace is a homely and well-presented coastal retreat. Set in the heart of this buzzing resort, it offers accommodation over two floors, with a pretty front garden and off-road parking. On the ground floor is an entrance porch for sandy flip-flops and boogie boards, leading into the separate sitting room with mock electric wood burner, comfy sofas and beams. The contemporary kitchen with dining area is ideal for foody gatherings. Patio doors lead out to the courtyard at the rear, which is gated and can be enclosed, with a driveway for one car plus additional space directly at the foot of the garden wall and third parking space in front of the garage (garage not available). The garden table and chairs makes a good spot for sunny nibbles and cream teas. On the first floor, three comfortable bedrooms greet you; a double with king-size bed and TV for duvet watching, twin bedroom and the bunk bedroom. The family bathroom with shower over completes this super seaside haven. Portreath Beach makes a fabulous playground for surfing escapades, swimming and picnics. Walk the stunning coast path to Porthtowan or Godrevy and Gwithian, through nature reserves and sand dunes, having a pit stop at a beachside café. Truro, with its majestic cathedral and retail, cinema and theatre, plus restaurants, bars and pubs is a short drive away. Closer to home, there are beach inns, shops and cafes just paces from The Chace – so you can relax, have fun with that bucket and spade or simply devour a pasty lunch or fish and chip supper aside a picturesque seascape on the north Cornish coast. Tehidy Park is great for cycle rides and dog rambles or tee off a round of golf at the nearby green. Portreath has so much to offer and The Chace is the perfect base for family, friends and couples to enjoy new adventures.
Portreath, with its sheltered harbour, attracts visitors from around the world with its wild and rugged coastline. High cliffs, secluded coves and sandy, surf-washed beaches typify the area while all around are reminders of the area's rich industrial heritage. Portreath offers a small fishing quay, shops, a number of pubs, three cafés and a Chinese restaurant, while its safe, sheltered sandy beach is a popular attraction. For a great day out, visit the cathedral city of Truro with its cobbled streets, shopping centre, theatre, museum and great restaurants, just 14 miles away, or travel a few miles along the coast and follow the vast expanse of sandy beach, which leads down to Hayle and on to St Ives.

My only criticism would be the washing line needs replacing, as when you put clothes on it, it had no tension. Overall fantastic place to stay and we loved out time here.

So thoughtful to provide milk on arrival and some delicious Cornish scones, also the doggy treats were a lovely gesture, unfortunately my dog couldnât eat them, but was such a nice thought. The only advice I would recommend is some WD40 for the back door handle as it got a little stuck a couple of times. Will definitely be returning again. Thank you for letting us stay.
