High Tide

From the moment you arrive, High Tide welcomes you with its superior style, calming atmosphere and beautifully considered layout, setting the tone for a truly relaxing coastal stay.

A central hallway leads into the heart of the penthouse, where a spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area unfolds, with stunning sea views drawing your eye from every corner.

The sleek, shipshape kitchen is sure to delight any budding chef, with state-of-the-art appliances and everything needed to make holiday cooking feel effortless and enjoyable.

With Cornwall firmly on the foodie map, gather the freshest local ingredients and savour long, leisurely meals together, whether that is a simple breakfast before the beach or a relaxed supper at the end of the day.

The central breakfast bar with four chic stools is perfect for children’s high teas, quick lunches or keeping the cook company over a glass of wine.

On warmer days, throw open the doors and dine alfresco on the generous balcony, while in cooler months the smart wooden dining table creates an inviting setting for family meals and easy conversation.

Tucked beneath the eaves, the comfortable sofas and armchairs offer a cosy corner in which to unwind, whether with a good book, a film or simply the ever-changing colours of the coast beyond.

A palette of crisp whites and coastal blues echoes the serenity of North Cornwall living, while thoughtfully chosen soft furnishings and elegant furniture complete the sense of understated luxury.

Leading from the living space are three beautiful boutique-style bedrooms, each with a fresh white backdrop and a subtle nautical twist.

The principal bedroom, with its en suite shower room, enjoys a Juliet balcony and panoramic views across the beach, the sea and the dramatic cliffs that frame Porthtowan.

Two further bedrooms, one of which also enjoys sea views, can be arranged as twins or doubles to suit your party with ease.

A large contemporary family bathroom provides the perfect place for a soothing soak or post-beach pamper at the end of a salt-kissed day.

From the living space, step out onto one of two tempting balconies, each offering breathtaking sea views and a front-row seat to the ever-changing beauty of the North Cornwall coast.

Throw back the double doors from the dining area and wander onto the smaller balcony, where a bistro table and chairs create the perfect spot for a slow morning coffee and a peaceful start to the day.

The larger balcony is made for memorable moments, with an all-weather dining table and six chairs inviting everything from lazy breakfasts in the fresh sea air to celebratory suppers alfresco as the sun slips into the bay below.

Leave the car behind and make your way down the private steps and pathways to the beach, where Porthtowan’s glorious stretch of fine white sand and dramatic cliffs await just below.

One of Cornwall’s most scenic beaches, Porthtowan is framed by soaring cliffs, golden dunes and seasonal bursts of wild gorse and sea pinks, creating a spectacular setting in every direction.

The rolling surf makes this a favourite with local surfers, whether you choose to watch the action from the shore or dive in yourself with the help of the local surf school, returning afterwards to the outdoor shower for a quick post-surf rinse.

Behind the beach, The Blue Bar captures Porthtowan’s laid-back coastal spirit perfectly and is the ideal place to linger over an evening drink as the sun begins to set.

Children will love the beach shop, cafe and newly refurbished play area, making this a wonderfully easy and enjoyable destination for families too.

Further afield, the charming coastal village of St Agnes offers more lovely places to eat, while the cosmopolitan harbour town of St Ives promises galleries, boutiques and memorable days by the sea.

High Tide is also perfectly placed for walkers, with the South West Coast Path moments away and beautiful routes leading to Chapel Porth, St Agnes and Portreath through some of Cornwall’s most dramatic coastal scenery.

Follow in the footsteps of Ross and Demelza as you explore nearby Poldark country, rich in rugged beauty, mining heritage and unforgettable views.

Whatever the occasion or season, High Tide offers a luxurious setting for family holidays, romantic escapes and relaxed coastal getaways with friends.
