This sleek ground-floor apartment in Perranporth puts a family of four and their pup just 10 metres from the beach. Spend the morning on the sand, nip back for lunch or dry towels, then be beside the sea again moments later when everyone is ready for another paddle. With the beach so close, it can feel almost like having Perranporth Beach as your own front garden, while the smart, modern interior gives you a stylish place to retreat to between trips to the shore.
An open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner features a relaxing ambience and plenty of space to relax, whether you’re reclining on the L-shaped sofa or whipping up a Cornwall-inspired feast in the sleek kitchen. Enjoy cosy nights with the TV or Blu-ray player, or out on the terrace, furnished with a rattan sofa, coffee table, and superb beachside views. Beyond the living space, two nautically styled bedrooms continue the coastal feel. The super-king-size room looks out across the sea, while the king-size zip-and-link takes in the dunes and surrounding trees. With both a bathroom and separate shower room, mornings are a little less hectic when everyone is getting ready for another day by the beach.
There’s plenty around Perranporth to keep every member of the family happy; keen swimmers take a dip in Perranporth’s natural seawater pool, while walkers can follow the South West Coast Path along the cliffs. Refuel and relax by browsing the independent shops and surf stores before stopping for lunch in one of the cafes, or head up to the clifftop golf course for a round with the bay below. The surfing meccas of Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay are both within 11.5 miles, while St Agnes (4 miles) brings old mining landscapes and another stretch of coast to explore.
