Our places in Porthtowan
There are eight places in Porthtowan, which is a modest choice, so it helps to decide on group size first. Four sleep 6, two sleep 8 and two sleep 4. The usual price for a night is on the high side, but the range is wide. The cheapest is a one-bedroom place with a sea view, while the dearest have a hot tub, a sauna and a log burner. Dogs are accepted everywhere, though a few places ask you to check first.
Porthtowan is a small surf beach on the north Cornwall coast, and the stays here lean towards larger groups. Most places sleep about 6, the biggest sleeps 8, and several have three or four bedrooms. That suits families and friends sharing a weekend more than couples looking for something small.
Prices sit at the dearer end for a short break. Hot tubs are close to standard, found at nearly nine in ten places, and every place takes dogs in some form, either freely or on request. Log burners are at half of them, saunas at a quarter. Costs vary a lot with the features: a one-bedroom place with a sea view is far cheaper than a place with a sauna and log burner. A winter week costs noticeably less than a week outside winter, so the time of year matters as much as the choice of lodge.
Features
A hot tub is the feature you will find most often, at seven of the eight places. Gardens and high chairs follow, each at five places, which fits the family bias. Log burners are at four places and saunas at two. Places with a sauna or log burner are usually dearer than those with only a hot tub. Sea view places are the cheaper group here, so a view does not push the price up in the way a sauna does. A BBQ is at three places.

By number of guests
Places sleeping 5 to 6 are the only group with enough listings to compare, and there are four of them. They usually have three bedrooms. The usual night is below the town-wide figure, and the cost per person is lower than for the smaller four-bed places with a sauna. Split between six people, a night here is reasonable for a coastal stay with a hot tub. If you are a group of 8, the choice narrows to two places, so book earlier.
November and December are the cheapest months, with December the lowest of those listed. Prices rise through January, then step up in February and March, which cost the same. April is the dearest month shown, clearly above the winter months, as the Easter period approaches. Availability is better than you might expect, with most dates still open in every month. That makes late bookings realistic, especially for winter weekends in December and January.
