The Beach Shack | Luxury Beach House | Portwrinkle Beach, Whitsand Bay

Guest testimonials

This is one of the most special places to have ever stayed in. It was lovely how welcome our dog felt too, and how much she loved it. A notable mention to the lovely housekeeper, who clearly took huge pride in looking after the property to perfection. Lovely welcome basket items too. A truly original and outstanding property, where every detail has been carefully thought through and considered.

Wonderful stay, glorious views! We were lucky with the weather and got to see dolphins whilst enjoying our morning coffee. Amazing place. Our dog loved the beach, we will be back!

We loved The Beach Shack and made some lasting memories as a family. The views are spectacular, and the outdoor space is idyllic. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Brilliant place! We loved the outdoor space – absolutely wonderful. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Thank you!

We have stayed in close to a dozen Unique Homestays and we think this is one of, if not the very best that we have experienced. Fantastic location combined with the recent renovations of the property, and the addition of a hot tub.

We had the most relaxing stay. The weather was amazing and the cabin had everything we needed. Blissful location. We will miss our morning coffee looking out to sea. Thank you.

A gem of a coastal retreat, private and overlooked by no one. Hard to describe you just have to experience it to know. A big thank you to the House Manager for everything.

This gem is a piece of heaven on earth. Nothing tops this view, I have been around the world and been lucky enough to have seen some amazing places. This place has something special about it. It has a healing quality. Already looked to when we can come back.

It’s a beautiful property, we felt so refreshed after our stay at The Beach Shack. It has a magical quality, thank you for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous home- we´ve had a wonderful time.

We loved our time here! This was one of our very best of many wonderful vacations. A truly magical place to spend our 38th anniversary. We went hiking every day in various sections of the SW Coast path and had great weather. Thank you.

What a beautiful week away. The weather was amazing and the views were stunning. We feel totally recharged. I will miss my morning coffee looking out across the beautiful ocean.

The view truly is special and dreamy. The sea first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening is memorable. The children loved the beach and we will always remember our stay at The Beach Shack and hope to return in the future.

The views are spectacular and luckily we have experienced all the summer weather. Thank you for such a lovely stay at The Beach Shack, we´ve had a great time here in Cornwall.

It was our first family holiday with our 3 month son. The Beach Shack offered comfortable family living with a fabulous coastal cliff top location. It ticked so many boxes for us and will remain a very special holiday for many years to come.

Just bliss! We are both totally recharged. Portwrinkle holds some great memories for us and now The Beach Shack is part of them. Thank you for such a fantastic stay, we truly had a great time.

We have had an amazing time here in Cornwall and LOVE the view of the Sea! The Beach Shack is so cosy and perfect; the beds are all so comfy. We have loved sitting down by the fire and playing board games while drinking tea. The food provided was delicious (especially the ginger biscuits), and we hope the next guests have as much fun as we did!

Wow. What a magical place. We´ve only been here a few short days and we don´t want to leave! Such a beautiful, tranquil, relaxing and heavenly stay in Portwrinkle. The house is stunning with everything we could have possibly needed for our stay. Thank you for sharing this incredible place with us. We´ll be back!

What a wonderful place! A real oasis of calm and tranquillity in a stunning location. The coastal walks are lovely and the local restaurants are fantastic. It´s been wonderful to experience this lesser-known part of Cornwall and from such a beautiful base! We very much hope to be back again one day.

We have enjoyed a lovely week at The Beach Shack. The views are wonderful and there´s always something interesting to catch your eye. We have especially loved listening to the squeals of delight as children (and adults) first enter the sea! Thank you.

Beautiful. Breathtaking. Sometimes in life, you find exactly what you need and The Beach Shack is it. Thank you for sharing your special home with us, we´ll never forget our stay here.

Thank you for sharing your breathtaking home with us - we kept thinking we were in South Africa or California. What a dramatic coastline! In sunshine or storm, it really is a special place; we feel lucky to have visited it. Thank you.

What a beautiful seaside escape! We have had the most incredible long weekend full of sunshine, food and wine. It´s a weekend we will never forget, especially as we got engaged here on Saturday night! Thank you for providing the perfect backdrop for such a special night.

Wow, what a beautiful home! We´ve had a super relaxing week here despite the high winds. From the views, the fire, the bath and the outdoor space, what more could one want? Perfect!

What a hidden gem! We have loved our week away at The Beach Shack. The cottage is simply perfect to switch off and enjoy a break away. It´s so comfortable and cosy. The coastal walks are stunning and we were so lucky with the beautiful December sun!

Paradise by the sea! We couldn´t have hoped for a more idyllic place or magical family holiday. It will remain in our sun-blushed, sand-sprinkled, salt-tinged, wind-tousled memories for a very long time. Thank you for sharing it with us and for everything that has gone into creating such a wonderful experience.

What a dreamy place, surely the ultimate seaside escape! The housekeeper must be a magician as it was so spotless that we wondered if we were the first ever guests! We enjoyed sunset drinks in the garden, baths with the sound of the waves, walks in both directions along the coastal paths, exploring the rock pools at different tides and seeing the lighthouse out through the telescope. What a magical spot. Wishing future visitors an equally restorative stay. We will be back.
