Property code: OC-P00335

A charming property boasting far-reaching views across rolling green countryside, set in the idyllic village of Mawgan Porth on the North Cornish Coast. This cosy hideaway is ideal for a young family or couple seeking a quiet seaside escape. Admire the waves crashing upon imposing rock stacks scattering the shoreline at Carnewas at Bedruthan (1.5 miles), before toasting with an al fresco glass of fizz against a tranquil rural backdrop.

This self-contained annexe features a homely cottage interior with warm wooden textures and breezy indoor-outdoor living. Unravel outdoor layers in the private entrance then step into the light-flooded lounge. Slide open the patio doors then sink onto the soft armchairs with a post-adventure brew. In winter months, chase away the chill with the electric fire. Sip a tipple as you cook up an evening meal in the shaker-style kitchen then settle in for a feast at the intimate dining table. After nightfall, grab some blankets and a hot drink then pad into the leafy garden to stargaze beneath the twinkling night sky. Slide into the soft sheets of a bright king with countryside views or an airy single with pull out bed. Early risers can steal a moment of peace with a morning coffee on the patio surrounded by playful nautical design details.

Inhale the salty ocean air as you amble along the golden dune-backed sands of Porthcothan Bay (4 miles) or kit up for a scenic water sports session on the iconic surf at Newquay Beach (5 miles). Stroll the lively harbour of Padstow (9 miles) peppered with great restaurants serving up seasonal seafood menus, or soak in the horticultural delights of the mesmerising Eden Project (18 miles).

We had a great stay here as a young family of 5. Was a great location close to the beach and a great base to go out and explore.

We had a super holiday staying in the Buoys! The location is superb, so much to do and see, we barely used the car, as there are so many lovely walks right from the doorstep in both directions on the coast and also inland. The owners, Eddy and Judy, are fantastic! So welcoming and friendly, the perfect hosts. We got a load of tips and advice from tRead morehem for exploring the area which greatly enhanced our holiday. The property itself is absolutely lovely - super clean, well-stocked with everything you might need. The owners take great pride in looking after the property and it certainly shows! It definitely felt like home away from home. The garden is also lovely and we enjoyed having meals and just relaxing with a drink of an evening. The local pub, Merrymoor Inn has great food and you can sit outside looking at the fabulous Mawgan Porth beach while you eat. The local bus service, number 56, runs between Newquay and Padstow and is a great option for one-way walks as the bus stop is at the end of the road! All in all, fantastic property and the owners, great location, and we hope to be back soon with Eddy and Judy! Hide

The accommodation is excellent and the bed in the master room is extremely comfortable! The views from the bedroom window are beautiful. When the bed configuration in the second room is twin beds its a little tight but it did my 2 children for the 3 years we went there. After all, we were so active with all the coastal walks and bodyboarding it wasRead more just somewhere to rest our heads! The Buoys is a fabulous, well position property with lovely, friendly owners. You get your own private garden which is a lovely little sun trap and perfect for BBQs or alfresco dining. Hide
