This modern beach house is great for an extended family, two families or even a friendship group wanting to travel as a whole pack – dogs included. Sleeping eight adults and up to a further five children, it’s ideally located just 100 metres from Porth Beach, making beach days a breeze. It’s also the perfect base to explore more of the beautiful North Cornwall coastline or strike out on foot to walk the South West Coast Path.
Feel welcomed in by the spacious open-plan living area at this sleek house with its sloping ceilings and large, unusual windows that flood it with light and offer sea views to the front, and garden views to the rear. A spiral staircase winds up from the lounge/kitchen/diner to an additional study space on a mezzanine with balcony access. There’s flexible sleeping accommodation with some bedrooms on both ground and first floors, comprising king-size, twin and bunk bedrooms plus an extra sofa bed. There’s plenty of outdoor space, too, with a large balcony, and a private south-facing, terraced back garden. Off this garden, there’s a games room, extra sofa bed and shower room. Or recline and admire the sea views from the hot tub on a sheltered terrace.
A small wooden footbridge heads over from the beach to Porth Island, a headland with fascinating history and Iron and Bronze Age earthworks. Put your boots on, grab the dog lead and head for Watergate Bay (3 miles) and its 2-mile surfing beach one way along the coastal path or head the other way towards Mawgan Porth (5 miles), a beach and small town, again offering pristine sands and surfing. The beaches and bays of Newquay are a mile away and a great place for family fun, cafes, seaside attractions plus surfing and eating out.
