Location
Where is it?
Iona is a newly converted contemporary home, down a quiet country road, with the golden sands of Porthcothan reachable in just over a 5 minute walk. On route you will pass fields of wildflowers which line the coastal path down towards the cove. Porthcothan is one of Cornwall's secret bays, a deep inlet surrounded by rocky headlands with a big expanse of sand at low tide. This tiny coastal village has a lovely hidden quality; it has remained largely undeveloped and provides an 'away from it all' feel.
There are eleven beaches all within a 5-20 minute drive of Porthcothan. You'll find Porthcothan beach is quieter than many of the better-known beaches with a focus on playing on the sand and in the sea. Around the corner is the more popular Treyarnon Bay, a beautiful golden sanded beach with a coast path leading to panoramic views over Constantine Bay.
Just a short drive from Porthcothan is Padstow with its picturesque harbour and Rick Steins Seafood Restaurant. Watergate Bay and its array of restaurants are just 15 minutes away by car and Newquay a little further, with great shopping, beach activities and all kinds of cafes, pubs and restaurants.

Guest Reviews
"Iona is a beautiful home, ideal for family get togethers. The open plan rooms feel airy and spacious, with great views over the countryside. The furnishings are considered and attractive, giving a coastal, relaxing vibe. The kitchen is very well equipped - my husband is exacting about kit and cleanliness when cooking and he usually starts a holiday cleaning. At Iona the cleanliness was immaculate, the equipment plentiful and in good condition and he loved the expansive induction hob, so happy chef! The dining area is outstanding, perfect for family meals and games nights (lots of board games in a cupboard). Beds and bedding were comfy and we slept well - it's really peaceful. 4 loos and efficient showers. The lawned area is basic, but perfect for dogs. Good dog walks down narrow tracks criss crossing the cliffside to the beach; it's a stiff climb back up, A track through the field next to Iona gave us very happy walks through wildflowers, to the sound of skylarks. (Dogs on leads). We all enjoyed this place and would love to visit again before too long - a proper treasure! Thank you.

"We had a wonderful stay at Iona, the house is beautiful and in a great location. The house met all our needs, with a mix of bedrooms on the ground and upper floor giving us space and accessibility. The house is very welcoming with stylish and luxury furnishings. We took our two dogs so being a few steps from the coastal path was great for us. Access to beautiful walks and easy reach to the beach was a big appeal. The views over the bay and beyond were stunning. I would highly recommend this house and would love to return."
