Porth Farm House, Porth Farm Annex and Lane cottage are part of an old farm that was converted to self catering holiday accommodation the 1930's and has been gently upgraded since.
Situated in several acres on the undeveloped side of the coast road and 600 metres from the beach, they are south facing and have lovely views of the valley and the sea .
Over the years our customers have found it an ideal place for children to be independent within safe but stimulating surroundings while parents can have a good rest.
There is a large shared grassy play area with swings, a zip wire and an old wooden boat.
There is also a table tennis room. Art classes are run in the summer holidays for children.
PORTH FARM is open all year round. Open fires and cosy interiors make it an excellent place for off-season breaks.
