Stroll through leafy grounds to the sands of Watergate Bay, stride out along the South West Coast Path, or simply sit on your private terrace and savour the views – a break at this pet-friendly apartment can be as busy or laid-back as you’d like. Inside, the chic social space is complemented by two beautiful en-suite bedrooms, while designated parking means you can unpack at your own pace.
An entrance hallway with room for coats and shoes leads into an open-plan living space where French doors set into a bay window flood the room with light and frame far-reaching views. Soft seating is arranged before a media wall that houses a Smart TV and fashionable fire-effect heater; behind, the dining suite is backed by a wood-panelled feature wall, while the kitchen has bar-style seating at its island unit. When it’s time to sleep, take your pick of a pair of dreamy bedrooms. The master has bay windows with seating, a super-king-size bed and en-suite shower room; the second bedroom can be configured with one super-king-size bed or two singles, can stake claim to a Jack and Jill bathroom that’s also accessible from the hallway, where a large storage cupboard houses a washer/dryer. Open the French doors from the lounge and take a seat on your private terrace for a breath of fresh sea air and fabulous views. Landscaped gardens with lawns, seating, and a BBQ area are shared with other guests in the development, alongside a surf shower and secure storage for boards and beach kit.
Follow the planted path 350 metres to the beach, where reaching the shoreline involves crossing a road and descending a slipway – home to the annual Boardmasters music festival, Watergate Bay is famous for its world-class surfing conditions. Cafes and restaurants offer refreshments after scenic cliff walks – it’s 3.5 miles along the South West Coast Path to Newquay, and 2.5 miles to Mawgan Porth.
