The location
Morwetha enjoys an elevated position commanding panoramic views over the historic village of Portreath, the harbour and far out to sea with the iconic Gull Rock defining the bay. With its southerly aspect, views of the sunset can be enjoyed from the property’s terraces, sitting room, dining room and two of the bedrooms providing the perfect end to a day on the nearby beach.
Portreath’s dog-friendly beach is popular with families, and the bay is a renowned surf spot. The harbour wall is one of Cornwall’s most photographed coastal landmarks, particularly during storm season. The Beach Café and Atlantic Café Bar provide food and drinks with a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
As well as a surf shop, Portreath has a local supermarket, Post Office, bakery and a tearoom located within The Square. The village also has three pubs, one of which enjoys great views of the harbour and Smuggler’s Cove, the smaller, sandy beach immediately to the west.
Portreath is beautifully positioned to explore so much that this section of the north Cornish coast has to offer, and country pursuits, Truro and historic villages are all within a short and often scenic drive.
