Where is it?
The Brigantine is an elegant beach house perched up high on the north Cornish clifftops overlooking Portreath Beach. Lovingly hand-crafted and adorned with mid-century furnishings and family heirlooms, find sanctuary at this warm and welcoming abode. Bask in the sun on the chequerboard terrace with views of the ocean and Gull Rock, or take shelter from stormy weather in the heated indoor swimming pool.
The simple joy of classic beach days comes easily down on Portreath Beach, whether it's bodyboarding in the waves or a leisurely dip in the tidal pool, shell hunting along the shorelines or lazy naps on the sand. This family friendly cove is often overlooked by visitors heading to neighbouring beaches Perranporth and Porthtowan. It belies a rich history of pirates and smugglers, which you can trace in the intricacies of the tideline. Uncover the myths and legends of Lady Basset’s Bath, cut into the cliff face, and see where smugglers tied up their boats in the caves.
Set within a steep valley between Godrevy and Porthtowan, spend summer days in the waves and winter days storm watching from local pubs. Walk the rugged stretch of coast path to the nearby Basset’s Cove, see the grey seal colony at Mutton Cove, or explore the vibrant surf village of St Agnes.
