About Porth Mear Cottage

Adjoining Trescore (formerly Pentire Farm House) is Porth Mear Cottage, a traditional Cornish stone building situated just inland from Park Head. The cottage boasts stunning views over the surrounding countryside, all the way to the lighthouse at Trevose Head.

Step out of the French doors to the garden for an alfresco breakfast before joining the coastal path just metres from your door. Follow the path down to Porth Mear Cove, a secluded rocky inlet only accessible on foot.

For the nearest sandy beach head to Porthcothan which is just a mile away from here. Or for a bit of historical culture head to Trerice House and Lanhydrock. With your stay at Porth Mear Cottage we can continue to look after these special places for generations to come.
