About this property
Embark on a luxurious escape to this holiday home with your friends and family to get a true taste of the Cornish coast and make the most of being just half a mile away from the nearest beach. Boasting fantastic social spaces inside and out, this property is a great place to reunite, celebrate and make memories with the ones you love. For a taste of adventure, pack a picnic and head off to hike a section of the South West Coast Path where you’ll find breathtaking landscapes and blissful beaches to stop off at for a rest.
As you enter the property, you’ll be welcomed by the spacious hall where you can put down your bags and take off your shoes. To one side, you’ll find the entrance to the opulent living room with its fabulous gas fireplace, deep sofas, cosy loveseat and thoughtful touches throughout. In the opposite direction is the dining room where guests can gather together for mealtimes or to play board games. From here, you can access the unique kitchen with its sea-inspired cabinets and modern appliances that make cooking for large numbers an easy feat. Completing the ground floor is a WC. Upstairs are the four double bedrooms, each of which has its own unique style. Finally, there is both a bathroom and a shower room where you can refresh after a day out exploring. The garden area extends the living space into the great outdoors, with a lush green lawn, outdoor shower, fire pit and plenty of seating so that you can make the most of the picturesque coastal views.
Mawgan Porth Beach (half a mile) is an idyllic option for families, with plenty of rock pools and caves to explore as well as a large expanse of sand which is well worth visiting at all times of the year. From here, you can venture off on a stretch of the South West Coast Path towards the fishing port of Padstow (11 miles) or Newquay (5 miles). Newquay itself is home to a total of twelve beaches, all offering something a little different and it is known for being a great spot to surf or try several other watersports, as well as a number of lovely local eateries.

Mrs Richards
This is a wonderful house in a fabulous location. The view is spectacular , the house is located in a quiet and secluded area, perfect for us . Very comfortable and well equipped , we were a party of 6 related adults with a very enthusiastic dog, she loved the beach which is easily walkable and knew where it was after first visit . Only downside for us is that the fabulous garden is easily escaped by a beach loving dog which we managed by close supervision and fortunately she has good recall ,this needs to be considered when booking . Otherwise we had great fun with her playing ball in the lovely garden , this would not put me off booking again as we loved this spacious house and were blessed by amazing weather

A lovely house, very comfortable, especially the bedrooms and beds. Beautiful view over Mawgan Porth and a lovely garden. It is a steep climb up from the beach so those with mobility issues would be best taking the car to the car park. Plenty of room to park 3 cars.
