Porthia

Lovely property, we had a great week. We did have to try twice to find the property despite the directions, pay attention to the written details especially. We used buses to travel around, plus an odd train ride which were all very good. Thanks !

We had a wonderful stay at Porthia. The location was perfect for exploring Carbis Bay and also a short journey into St Ives. The house was very clean and with lots of space and storage. We loved cooking in the kitchen and the showers were amazing! Highly recommended!

Wow what a house home from home beautiful views of the sea quite garden with gentle stream trickling down the steps to Carbis bay beach which is better than the Carribbean. We self catered for most of the time we stayed, kitchen was well equipped and a Tesco superstore 2 minutes drive or walk away. Beds all very comfortable and we all slept very well. My son surfs and Godfrey/Hayle beach didn't disappoint and only a 15 min drive. Bus stop to St Ives at bottom of the road or train from Carbis bay station

The house was brilliant, really comfortable and enjoyable to be in. The Orange Roofs team were great and we were able to check in much earlier than expected. The house is so well situation with such easy access to St Ives, highly recommended!

Lovely property beautifully clean and well presented. Good position for visiting other areas. Close to train after a short walk. A steep climb back but no rush to reach the top!

We had a lovely week in this beautiful, relaxing house. It was spotless and tastefully furnished, with everything we needed. The welcome hamper went down a treat - thank you! Highly recommend

Had a lovely relaxing holiday, very handy to get to st ives on the bus,(bust stop close by). Porthia is in a very lovely area.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The house is just as stylish as it looks in the photos, and light, airy and comfortable. Beautiful area to stay in with loads to do - we really didn't want to go home.

We had a great 7 night stay at Porthia. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and set out to a very high standard. The location was perfect, close to the beach, train station and bus route. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and recommend to friends.

Beautiful house in a great location. I would highly recommend to anyone to stay here.

We had a lovely time at Porthia. The house is spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The balcony is a great spot for coffees and drinks, with a private path leading down to the road and then a walkway across the road down to the beach. We felt very much at home.

We really enjoyed our stay at Porthia. The house was spacious and clean. We loved the open plan layout and the fact we could all spread out. We had some pretty stormy weather during our stay but the house was a haven where we could set up jigsaws and board games on the big dining room table and watch the storm rage outside through the bifold doors whilst feeling warm and cosy. Our only criticism was the trek to the train station. We are so feeble, but the steep decent was not for the feint-hearted. But it's only £1 to go to St Ives and takes 10 minutes so it was very convenient and we were happy not to be the stressful game of finding parking in St Ives which we could see is difficult. We were recommended that if you do drive there you should use the Better Leisure Centre car park and get the bus down to the bay which felt just as much effort as getting the train! Carbis Bay itself was very beautiful. We ate in the Beach Club restaurant which was a bit too fancy for us but has great views of the bay. We also ate in The Cornish Arms up the road which was more simple. But we really enjoyed the Talay Thai restaurant in St Ives the most. My daughter announced Porthia to be the BEST holiday house we've ever stayed in!

Great stay, great location, lovely house, spacious, clean and fully equipped, I would highly recommend

The Porthia property and the Orange Roofs communication and overall house facilities were great. We would rent again.

Fantastic house, spotlessly clean and fresh on arrival. We found the kitchen was well equipped for our needs as we like to cook, and there was a welcome pack.
Great to chill out in the peace and quiet, glass in hand, with just the sound of the stream running down the hill on the back decking area.
Great location for us as we don't mind a walk into St Ives or Hayle along the coastal path. 
But there is a bus stop at the bottom of the drive and the railway station is only a five mins stroll down hill, for onward transit to the surrounding area. 
The Tesco supermarket is a 2 minute drive for the "big shop" and a short walk to the Gannet House Sports Bar for a swift one, or two, with a sea view.
We highly recommend a stay at Porthia.

Lovely villa with all mod cons .we would recommend it highly… The whole booking process was simplicity itself….

Clean tidy house in a good location
All amenities available with a stater pack
Very good would use again

Porthia was absolutely spotless, perfect for our stay thank you. It was well equipped and the outside area is amazing.

Perfectly located for easy access to surrounding towns, hill walk down to the beach really not that bad, easy to stroll on coastal path to st Ives. Really nice new refurb inside and out

The accommodation was great. Plenty of space for our group of five adults, very comfortable and clean. Kitchen had everything we needed and provided lots of work space - better than our own! Location was good - proximity to bus/rail service meant we didn't need to drive all week. Loved being so close to the beach - walk down to beach was lovely; return trip was good exercise! Cooler autumn weather meant we didn't use the outdoor space much so weren't bothered by traffic noise.

Well appointed and spacious house with everything we needed. The welcome goodie bag was much appreciated! The location is good but be prepared to walk up a very steep hill from the beach. Pretty walk into St Ives for cafes, bars etc and the scenic train journey makes it even easier. Great outdoor decking if the weather allows or cosy lounge if it doesn't!

This was our second time aT Porthia as we love the location and the convenience of being on the major bus routes and close to Carbis Bay train station. The deck and 'back entrance' provide a novel charm to the property and the facilities available are excellent. Cleanliness on arrival and the goods/space provided are what drew us back for the family holiday again this year. Would have booked for next year but the property was fully booked for 2023 and as Orange Roofs provide an excellent standard of property we booked a slightly different venue. We all loved what Porthia provided and the excellent service from Orange Roofs. Great walks and beaches all within a very short walk. Love it.

The fact that the property was well maintained, decorated, and furnished to a high standard made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Pleasantly surprised by the close proximity to St Ives bay and Carbis Bay coastlines and beeches. Will almost certainly book through Orangeroofs again, their service from start to finish was professional and courteous.

We loved everything about Porthia. Nestled in the trees, it felt very private and calming. The property was stunning, kept very clean and everything felt accommodated for our family of 4. The private walkway towards the beach created a sense of excitement for our little ones too. The walk to the beach through the woods brings you right onto the stunning Carbis Bay beach which we spent move of our time was really special. Quite a challenge hiking back up the hill although returning to the tranquil Porthia house made it all worth it. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to others! Thank you for a wonderful, truly memorable family holiday

We loved the house and the location. Plenty of space with three separate bedrooms. Good wifi for the whole family.

We had such a fantastic week at Porthia. The house is so comfortable and well set up. Fantastic location - just 5/10mins walk to the beach and train station. We found Orange Roofs so professional and helpful during our whole stay. We will definitely return. Thank you

We stayed at Porthia for over 1 week. Great location with sea view and the house has quality modern furnishings. The Orange Roofs team were fantastic and very accommodating with all our requests. Would highly recommend :)

We're a family of 5 and this was perfect accommodation for us. Check in was so easy - just used the code to access the key. The house is great. Modern yet tasteful with all mod cons. We stayed in January and it was nonetheless lovely and warm. Roomy lounge/kitchen/diner and large bedrooms. And so reasonably priced. We had very few issues but all communications were replied to pretty much immediately and we got the feeling that if there had been a problem it would have been dealt with quickly and empathetically by Samantha and the team. This really is a great place to stay!

We loved Porthia, it is very homely, light and clean and very well equipped for everything you could need. It felt like we were staying in a tree house, it was such a calming space. There was a lovely Christmas tree and treats on arrival which were gratefully received. This was the first time we have used Orange Roofs, but it won't be the last. Their communication was fantastic, booking was easy and I loved their App. Thank you.

We absolutely loved our stay at Porthia, it felt like home away from home. We cannot fault the accommodation and Orange Roofs were professional and helpful. We will definitely use Orange Roofs again and look forward to yet another amazing holiday in one of the properties. Thank you :)

Porthia is a lovely property- well appointed and comfortable. The limitless hot water was perfect for water babies and surfing babies. The decor and accessories are thoughtful, modern and practical. Beds were super comfy. The outdoor space really made us feel like we were in a tree house- it was private and quiet and we loved the small path alongside the stream. Porthia also represented good value for money and had excellent access to Carbis Bay and the surrounding beaches so you could escape the madness of St Ives! We were well looked after during our stay and the Orange Roofs team were friendly and responsive. Thank you- we hope to be back.

My family really enjoyed our stay at Porthia. The house is modern without being soulless. It feels warm and welcoming. The windows/doors all open wide to bring in the outside. The large trees give welcome shade. There are two seating areas around the house decking so that family and friends could spread out. We loved the sound of the little stream at the back of the garden, and the leafy path that runs all the way down it to Carbis Bay beach (but be ready for an aerobic climb back). The kitchen was very functional. Worth noting that there is no toilet in the main en-suite but otherwise the bathrooms were great. Parking was good (not generally the case in the area), with use of the garage and the space in front of it. There is also a bus stop for easy access to wonderful St Ives, right at the bottom of the short lane (although I never made sense of the timetable). As a base for the area, excellent.

Given that we were supposed to be in the Maldives celebrating Andy's 50th birthday and COVID put paid to that, we began a new 'celebration location' search closer to home.  Our only criteria was that we wanted to be in walking distance to the sea. Just like in the Maldives, right?!  Andy holidayed in St Ives as a child so that seemed a good enough link to start there. After a few nights browsing we came across Orange Roofs and in particular Porthia. I'm a sucker for a fabulous interior photos and these were exactly that - the place looked fabulous. And a short walk to the beautiful beach at Carbis Bay. Following a good read of the excellent reviews (don't worry about the bins) we booked. 

The accomodation was extremely comfortable with high standard of fixtures and fittings, The kids loved the large walk in shower, rear patio was nice the only downside was it was extremely shady due to the large trees at the back whilst this provided privacy when there was a breeze it was a bit chilly to sit outside. Otherwise couldnt fault the property and location , really enjoyed the stay.

Property was exactly as seen on their site, cleanliness immaculate Extremely impressed with the communication, updates, directions, shopping and places of interests. We loved the location in Carbis Bay Beautiful place and will definitely use Orange Roofs again.
