Seashells Porthtowan - Cornwall beach apartment with sea views

10/08/2025

EDIT: September now fully booked.

I thought it would be useful to list our remaining availability at Seashells before the end of October when we finish holiday letting.

We have the weeks from the 13 and 20th September - reduced to £600.

From 5th October we are offering short breaks of 3 to 7 nights (or more if you desire 🙂), at £350 - £500 (sorry half term week is already booked).

Info, prices, availability and online booking are available on our website - as regular followers and previous guests already know, we sleep up to 4, are pet-free, have amazing sea views, our own parking and a great location very close to the beach and village pub and restaurants.

Drop me a message if you need any more info 🙂.

September and October are still looking quite empty at Seashells - I’m surprised as this can be a lovely time of year to visit. If you’re looking for an autumn break by the sea you couldn’t ask for better - you can watch the waves and spectacular skies from the comfort of the sofa, take a refreshing beach or cliff top stroll and enjoy a meal in Porthtowan’s lovely village pub or beachside restaurants, all on your doorstep. The apartment sleeps up to 4 and has its own parking, but doesn’t take pets. You can get more info and book online at www.seashellsporthtowan.co.uk.

For anyone who missed my previous post, sadly we are closing our doors at the end of October, for a number of reasons. I always said I would holiday let Seashells for ten years and then reassess - having done so I have now decided to move forward in a different direction.

If anyone would like to come and stay one last time, we still have availability in September and October. Come and enjoy our fab sea views and close proximity to the beach and village restaurants. We have parking and sleep up to 4 people.

You can drop me a message or book online at www.seashellsporthtowan.co.uk - hope you can make it!

We have swifts (I think?) nesting in our eaves. They’re lovely to watch but they do make a mess of the window!

I hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weather we’re having. It gives me hope that the sun will continue to shine and we will have a lovely late summer and autumn in Cornwall - it can be absolutely gorgeous when that happens.

We still have most of September and October available at Seashells, if you’re looking for a getaway by the sea. Wonderful views, gorgeous beachside location close to village shops and restaurants and allocated parking could be yours to enjoy ☺️. Seashells sleeps 2-4 people and is pet free.

Book online at www.seashellsporthtowan.co.uk or drop me a message 🙂.

Just a reminder that we still have September/October weeks available (Saturday changeovers) at Seashells - just get in touch or book online at www.seashellsporthtowan.co.uk.

Come and enjoy Cornwall in the warm late summer sun - Seashells has parking and is just a stroll from Porthtowan’s wonderful beach and village pub/restaurants. It has gorgeous sea views from the sofa for when the weather isn’t as kind, can sleep up to 4 and is pet free. Hope to hear from you soon 🙂

Announcement - some of our regular guests are already aware but having given it a lot of thought I have decided not to continue running Seashells as a holiday let next year, for a number of reasons.

The work involved has become too much on top of my day job and other responsibilities, and the holiday let market has become more difficult, with oversupply making it harder to attract enough bookings to be profitable, and much tighter regulation meaning the costs and workload involved have increased year on year.

I will probably let Seashells to a couple or small family instead, to support someone local to remain in the village. The planned loft conversion is still on the cards, but I may wait a year or two before going ahead with it. (I may holiday let in the future, after the loft conversion is done).

In the meantime we are still taking bookings for September and October at www.seashellsporthtowan.co.uk. (Sleeps 4, parking, pet free, wonderful sea views, very close to the beach and village pub/shop/beachside restaurants).

It has been a wonderful 10 year of running Seashells for people to enjoy as a holiday let - here are a few ‘then and now’ pictures to show how the apartment and village have changed over that time.

We are now fully booked until September but have plenty of availability in the gentle days of late summer…come and stay for beach strolls and lazy days in the warm September sun.

Seashells offers parking, fab beach/sea views and a great location just a stroll from Porthtowan’s village pub, shop, cafe and beachside bar/restaurant.
