Experience an unforgettable stay in this unique character cottage, a seafront retreat with a panoramic picture window framing uninterrupted sea views from the lounge and balcony. Perfect for couples or families with younger children, this pet-friendly property features two ground-floor bedrooms, including one that's been thoughtfully designed with little ones in mind. With room for everyone – including four-legged family members – it's an ideal base for your next Cornish escape. Spend your days exploring the spectacular coastline from nearby Watergate Bay (1 mile), a stunning two-mile stretch of Atlantic shoreline loved by surfers, sunbathers and dog walkers alike.

This stylish two-storey abode features a reverse-level layout, with a spacious entrance hall providing access to the bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor. Alongside the children's bunk bedroom, you'll find a generous king-size bedroom with plenty of space to get ready each morning. Upstairs, the spacious lounge enjoys breathtaking sea views, comfortable seating and a Smart TV set opposite a crackling wood burner, allowing you to admire the crashing waves while staying cosy on cooler evenings. Next door, the contemporary kitchen/diner is bright and well equipped, while a first-floor WC adds extra convenience. Outside, alongside private parking for three cars, you'll discover a choice of outdoor spaces, including an elevated balcony, a separate patio and a garden with outdoor seating and a BBQ.

Perfectly positioned for exploring Cornwall's many attractions, the property sits between Newquay (3.5 miles) and Padstow (12 miles), linked by a spectacular coastal road. It's also just 1.5 miles from Cornwall Airport Newquay, making it an excellent choice for those travelling from further afield. Newquay is renowned for its lively atmosphere, family-friendly attractions and world-famous beaches, including Fistral Beach (5 miles). By contrast, Padstow offers a slower pace, with a picturesque harbour, renowned seafood restaurants and an exceptional foodie scene.

We had a wonderful weekend away. Such a beautifully decorated house with a lovely courtyard garden and stunning balcony. A lovely coast path walk to Watergate Bay which is the only beach locally that allows dogs during peak summer. Cute childrens bunk room. The perfect getaway spot

This was an amazing house in a great location a couple of minutes from two great beaches. The view was great from the lounge window. The house was immaculately clean and very welcoming. The kids loved their room with the bunk beds. Would highly recommend a stay here.
