The property was quaint and old worldly. The rooms were decorated to reflect the age of the building which was great as it kept the character . The staff were helpful and friendly. We were attending a funeral in the town and after a 5 hour drive they went out of their way to get the room ready early so I could freshen up and get changed. The bed was very comfortable and the bed linen and towels were clean & fresh.
The included breakfast was lovely and served hot to the table.
Located in Camborne and within 20 km of St Michael's Mount, The John Francis Basset Wetherspoon features a bar, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property.

Stunning Stunning Stunning. If your looking for a cute, clean, and not over crowded perfect beach then look no more. The Portreath Arms, and The Atlantic Café & Bar close to the beach were amazing. You can walk up to the PepperPot on the cliff and there are benches up there to see the sea and cliffs. Its breath takingly beautiful. Is it quiet, Yes Is it worth a visit? Definitely. Dogs are also welcome on the beach before 10am and after 6pm. Not far from Portreath is Gwithan beach, if you take the scenic road from Portreath you follow the cliffs to Gwithian and theres multiple places to pull in and see the coastline. Also, we recommend calling at The Hell's Mouth Café to have some Cornish ice cream and pop over the road to see the views. Close by is Hayle, Porthtowan, St Ives and many more places for day trips. There's stunning walks or bike rides across the coast to. Portreath is the perfect base and destination in Cornwall. We cannot wait to go back!

Small yet perfectly formed Cornish Village.
Small yet perfectly formed Cornish Village. Not your quaint fisherman's village but compact with 2 good pubs, good food, nice bakery, beach front cafes that serve great breakfast and superb access to the coastal paths to St Ives and beyond. Obligatory chip shop albeit a very good one that has restaurant seats and is licensed. back is never more than 1 min away. People are warm and friendly,. We really enjoyed Portreath. If you want to chill with a little walking without trying too hard, this is your place.

The village is an eccentric place - there are rows of rather dull modern houses in the very middle of the village. I understood this when I was told they are on the site of the former Coal Yard - served by boats coming into the harbour. Such is history. In fifty years these houses will probably look very picturesque. Other parts of the village are much older.
The beach is stormy and exciting in December as a Cornish beach should be. The views from the steep hills on either side are spectacular.
The Portreath Arms is a complete delight.
I will return in Spring or Summer and look forward to more exploring.

Ideal for surfing people and families to spend time on beach if young and fit you could go cliff walking towards Saint Ives We drove to a few spots and parked got out and looked at the sea going into coves and there are lots of places to go to within a maximum of thirty miles which we did visit

Portreath was a busy cargo port importing coal from South Wales and exporting copper. In the second half of the 20th century the coal sheds were demolished to make way for affordable housing, and there is a proliferation of modern bungalows and flats up the hillsides. So it is not a 'pretty Cornish seaside village' but it has attractive coastline, an impressive granite block harbour, a nice beach, and some excellent and very friendly pubs and cafés.

Portreath is small so you can access most by walking.
Portreath is small so you can access most by walking. We liked the Bassett arms ate there 4 times. advisable to book. The Fish and Chips on the beach are good. There is local cstcutter with most things and a lovely bakery.
Portreath itself. The property was very well presented and clean, and the joint-owner very decent when circumstnaceas meany we missed the first day and he let us stay an extra day, as nobody was coming to the flat.
They also left the makings of a Cornish cream tea and a bottle of wine, both of which were kind and apperciated.
Finally the cottage was very peaceful.
Small house on the harbour, beautifully presented cleanliness excellent. This is an ideal stay for visiting the whole of Cornwall or just enjoy the local area. Info from the hosts very helpful, a few local pubs doing food we particularly found the Bassett arms( about a 3 minute walk away) very accommodating and friendly. Fish and chips on the beach excellent value.
The staff is very nice!
The breakfast is plentiful and excellent!
All rooms are extremely clean!
We are currently on an England-Scotland-Ireland tour: So far (and we are already at the end) we have not come across such perfect accommodation!
The food and drinks in the bar are also very delicious at the evening!
This was a nice surprise. Very nice place. The host went the extra mile to help us and make us comfortable. Good bed. Kitchen with all needs well met. Large bathroom. Private patio. Next to SW Coast path. The host pointed out the portreath arms pub...delicious.
The location was brilliant, with only a 5 minute walk to the beach, and the village facilities. The facilities at the accommodation were also first class. A lovely pool, hot tub, games room, with a nice garden with sun loungers. The hosts were fab too.
The location is perfect for us with amazing views and right on the beach. There is a very well stocked kitchen for self catering and comfortable living area for the evenings. The shower on the ground floor is perfect for post-surfing.
Pam and Richard made us feel very welcome. The accommodation is fantastic, well maintained and exceptional clean in a great location with excellent facilities. I couldn't fault anything, a fantastic stay and will definitely be back.
Fortuitously, the building next door had recently been knocked down, and so the room we stayed in had sea views. This was great, as well as a wrap around patio area. This was perfect for relaxing and enjoying a beer in the sun.
Pat met us on arrival to hand over the keys. It was great to arrive to milk, tea, coffee and snacks so we could relax after the long drive. House is in a great location to explore Southern Cornwall.
The chef was amazing and the food was incredible. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We loved that is was just a short walk to the Portreath Beach. Parking was easy and convenient.
