Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and comfortable. However, a few mentioned cobwebs and a musty smell in one room, suggesting room for improvement in thoroughness.
The location is highly regarded for its quiet setting, proximity to beaches, parks, and local amenities. The walkability to attractions and the seclusion of the garden are frequently mentioned positives.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious areas. Some minor comments about bed comfort and heating control were noted.
The cottage is praised for its amenities, including a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable sitting rooms. However, points were deducted for reported issues with DVD players, heating, and some outdated decor.
While many guests mentioned and appreciated the thoughtful gestures of a welcome bottle of wine and cake, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness based on the available information.
About this property
Incline Cottage lies in a cluster of detached properties high above Portreath's scenic cove, perfectly positioned to explore the many beautiful beaches and villages along north Cornwall's picturesque coastline. Portreath village centres around its harbour and sandy beach popular among families and surfers. The village also has friendly shops and cafes to keep hunger and thirst at bay after a fun time in the sunshine.
It boasts generous accommodation over two floors with contemporary furnishings. There are two sitting rooms, one with a wood burning stove for all season warmth, and a super kitchen/dining room for social gatherings over a mid-morning coffee or afternoon cream tea. There is a short flight of steep stairs which lead up to the two attractive bedrooms. At the front is an enclosed garden with a lawn, and to the rear is a private walled patio and decked area with table and chairs; an excellent spot for alfresco dining or barbecue magic.
The coastal footpath south to Bassets Cove is a five mile
amble there and back, with exhilarating, cliff top views. The path to Porthtowan is a four mile trip - a famed surfing beach with golden sands and rolling dunes. Tehidy Country Park is less than a mile away and offers a change of scenery with woodland nature trails, ponds and lakes where you can pony trek or cycle plus a new cafe with cakes to die for.
Portreath is nestled in a stream valley between high cliffs. It has a secluded sandy, safe beach which is popular with families and surfers alike. The village has several shops including beach shops, a take away, several pubs and cafes, plus cliff tops for walking with panoramic seascapes.

Did mention to the owner that the central heating was all over the place, coming on at random times which was odd, ie cold in the morning not really good, she said she would get it sorted out.

Very quiet and tucked away. Lots of lovely quirky features Downsides: Some elements could do with updating, but overall a great place.

It has everything you need for a lovely base for a holiday in Cornwall. The garden was really good and safe for our little dog. Portreath is a quieter town compared to some others around this part of Cornwall which is a real plus. We loved our week there.
