Get the whole gang together in this bright and elegant property tucked away in the pretty hamlet of Penmayne. Sleeping eight people across four bedrooms, this is a perfect accommodation option for large families or groups of friends who are yearning for a retreat to call home while they discover the natural delights of Cornwall’s rugged coastline together. Explore the beautiful coastal village of Rock (0.5 miles), where you can try your hand at sailing, paddleboarding and waterskiing at Rock Beach. Alternatively, relax on the sandy shores of Daymer Bay (2.5 miles) – a gorgeous swimming spot where you can also explore the sand dunes and visit the pretty little St Enodoc Church - the resting place of poet, Sir John Betjeman. Surfers should make a beeline for Polzeath Beach (2. 5 miles) each morning, as it offers some of the best surf in Cornwall.
Park your car in the gated parking area (there’s room for four cars) and step inside this big and beautiful retreat. You’ll be met by a fabulously bright and stylish interior that showcases a sublime blend of slate, glass and natural stone. Crisp white walls combine with sandy hues to create a relaxing, warm ambience. With glass sliding doors spanning the width of the kitchen and dining area, you can experience inside-outside living at its best. Indulge in a freshly brewed coffee at the large breakfast bar in the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining area. There’s also a large wooden table that offers spectacular garden views through the glass doors – the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion with your loved ones. Head upstairs and you’ll find an elegant, light-filled lounge with a plush sofa, a large TV and a crackling wood burner. From here, you can open up the balcony doors and take a moment to appreciate the views across Cornwall’s lush green fields and woodlands. When it's time for bed, there are four blissful bedrooms waiting for you. Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with rustic wooden beams and a spa-like en-suite with a rainfall shower and a glamorous freestanding bath. Back downstairs, the second bedroom offers a super-king-size bed, a charming exposed brick wall and an en-suite with a rainfall shower. The third bedroom features a king-size bed, and the fourth bedroom is a handy twin zip-and-link that can be made into a super-king upon request. A smart family bathroom with a freestanding bath and a rainfall shower with an attachment completes the downstairs layout.
Step outside and you’ll find a large decking area extending across the garden, which is cocooned by a traditional Cornish dry-stone wall. Spend a little quality time swaying in the hammock beside the heated swimming pool (open late April to late September). Later in the day, fire up the gas BBQ and enjoy a fun al fresco dinner together at the long outdoor dining table. Afterwards, toast some marshmallows at the fire pit.
