Go barefoot on the beach, ride the Atlantic waves, find a secret cave or ramble along wild clifftops. All this is possible with a stay at this second-floor apartment overlooking Perranporth Beach. Perfect for adventure-loving couples or a small family, it sits centrally on the North Cornwall coast, with views stretching across the ocean from its balcony terrace. This is a lovely spot to sit out with a Nespresso coffee or Cornish cream tea.
Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows and patio doors fill the open-plan living area with natural light, making the space feel bright and uplifting. Come night-time when you want to shut out the world, close the curtains and curl up on the comfortable seating to read, watch a film or plan your next day’s activities. Continue your evening viewing snuggled up under the covers in the bedrooms, which both have TVs and DVD players. The master room also has an en-suite rainfall shower for invigorating soaks to kickstart your mornings. An outdoor surf shower and secure storage for boards and beach gear are shared with other guests in the development.
Stride out along the South West Coast Path, where 5 miles of rugged coastline lead you south to Wheal Coates mine and the heritage landscape around St Agnes. To the north, the surfing hotspots of Fistral Beach (7 miles) and Watergate Bay (10 miles) draw wave riders from far and wide to their irresistible Atlantic swell. Away from the beach, spend time browsing the boutiques, cafes and surf shops that line Perranporth’s colourful streets. And, just a mile away, Reen Manor Riding Stables offers horse rides through the surrounding countryside.
