Beautiful & large self catering holiday accommodation in Cornwall

Situated in Churchtown, the centre of St. Agnes village, the Porthvean provides all you would expect for a comfortable and relaxing holiday by the sea.

The building itself is old - it was the White Hart Hotel over 220 years ago, with parts of the property about twice that age. Behind our small private car park (space for 4 or 5 cars) are buildings which are owned by the National Trust. Also at the rear is a decked barbecue area.

At the front is a small terrace, sunny and sheltered, an ideal vantage point for local events such as the Carnival, Flora Dances and Victorian Street Fayre, or just sit with a drink and watch the world go by. (There are a further 2 private parking spaces here, between the terrace and the street.)

Our 7 bedrooms are beautifully appointed to a high standard of decor and comfort.

• Front: top floor - double with two single beds, double
• first floor - double with a single bed, double
• Back: first floor - twin, double, twin

Six rooms have their own en suite shower, washbasin and WC and a couple of them will take a cot without being too cramped. The seventh bedroom (twin bedded) has its own wash basin and is close to the bathroom.

They all have colour TV, beverage making facilities, hair dryers, telephones and heaters that you control. Off the main landing (with its dressing-up box) is the bathroom with a bath for those who prefer it, shower, washbasin and WC.

Should the weather be unkind, the lounge bar has a real log fire to cheer you. With its TV, video and music system, this makes a very comfortable centre of the house. Here, the bar counter lets you play host with its useful servery for liquid refreshment! Chiller and icemaker compliment this area. Adjoining the lounge is another room with a piano ideal for those games of chess, cards, jigsaw puzzles etc. a sing song, or just a quiet sit with a good book. At the other end of the house, is a small games room and at the end of the day, why not relax in the sauna and hot tub; a real aid to unwinding.

The dining room provides a large table (complete with high chairs if needed), and in the kitchen you will find most of the modern appliances you might need - dishwasher, gas hob, double electric oven, gas grill, food processor, freezer, microwaves, fridge, toaster etc. By the downstairs back door are a washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing board, trouser press, drying area and another loo.

The Porthvean is our home and we hope that you, too, will feel at home.
