Pepperpot

Pepperpot is a superb little bolthole in the heart of Portreath with a private parking spot and a short walk from the harbour, beach and all other amenities. The space Pepperpot is a short walk to the harbour, which leads down to the Mole (the harbour wall) and out to the beautiful beach, flanked by dramatic cliffs, with rock pools, golden sand and some shingle. Pepperpot is a lovely little, dog friendly cottage, with a wood burning stove to warm up those cold evenings, a fully equipped galley kitchen, and a private parking spot outside the front door. It is perfect for a romantic getaway or as a base to explore the dramatic coast, feast on the rich mining heritage, or bask out on the glorious beaches. Portreath has a rich heritage and the narrow harbour was originally used for exporting Copper from the mines around Chacewater and importing coal from South Wales. The harbour entrance was quite hazardous and tremendous skill must have been required to navigate sailing ships into the port, some of the ships carried well over a hundred tons of ore. The pretty, sandy beach has a stream running down to the sea on the left hand side. It is a popular family beach which, like many beaches on the north Cornish coast, is popular with surfers and in particular bodyboarders who turn up in force at high tide on big swells to surf the harbour wall, or Vortex as it is known.. During the season, the beach is cleaned daily, it is patrolled by RNLI lifeguards, and dogs are not allowed on the beach in July and August between 10am and 6pm. There are several shops, and cafés in Portreath. The village has a very friendly atmosphere and caters for most needs of tourists, whilst not being over-commercialised.
