Nestled in Saint Ervan, this charming home serves up the perfect balance of countryside and coast. Set on a working farm, it’s an ideal base for a family on a Cornish retreat, with nature surrounding you yet just a short drive to the coastline. We love all the homely touches, and with a log burner and freestanding tub indoors, and a fire pit and wood-fired hot tub outdoors, you’re spoilt for choice when picking somewhere to unwind at the end of a busy day.

The Cornish Spirit

Located in central Newquay, this home delivers a great base for a refreshing coastal escape. From here, it’s a short stroll to the beach, while the nearest restaurants, shops and cafes are all within easy reach. Back at home, you’ll find the open-plan living room lends itself perfectly to cosy gatherings by the fire. Board games are provided, children’s amenities can be arranged, and there’s the handy addition of a sofa bed for two guests. Other highlights include the sea views from the main bedroom and the private garden – a sweet spot for summer evening drinks. 


Surf the Wave

Hidden away within the farmlands of Watergate Bay in gorgeous North Cornwall, this charming former barn is a mere seven-minute drive from Newquay Beach. In this traditional stone building, the interiors carefully balance rustic elements of the former farm with elegant, modern sensibilities. You can’t help but immediately notice the vast, high ceilings and thick beams welcoming you to the living space. Its chunky, wooden dining bench is ideal for gathering everyone around with a glass of red wine to say cheers to the start of the holiday. From the open-plan lounge, fitted with a bespoke log burning fire, you can enjoy sweeping views of rolling green fields from the picturesque Juliet balcony. And on warm summer nights, head out to the large terrace and light up the barbecue. On your second patio, you’ll find a sun-drenched spot with comfy loungers for reclining and soaking up the sun. It’s also a perfect pad for surf fans, with an outdoor shower and a board storage area round the back. After riding the waves on the Cornish coast, there’s nothing better than coming home and cosying up by the fire with a tumbler of whisky in hand.

Oat & Treacle

Tucked in the heart of Newquay, this home makes it easy to enjoy the magic of coastal living. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the beach, while all the amenities you could need are within easy reach. Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a snug and relaxing space to spend quality time together. Inside, the rooms are family-friendly with the handy addition of a sofa bed and children’s amenities available on request. There is also a sweet patio with a barbecue – perfect for summer evening meals. 


A Seaside Retreat

Part of a restored Victorian lighthouse, this home is one of the most unique to be found on the Cornish coast. Spend a peaceful morning watching the fishing boats coming in and out of Padstow – there are almost panoramic views of the sea from the garden. Head down to the nearby Harlyn Bay, a sheltered family beach with a wide crescent of yellow sand, rock pools and safe swimming (a lifeguard is on duty in the summer months). The Eden Project is a thirty-minute drive away, and there are plenty of bistros and cafes nearby, including Rick Stein's seafood restaurant. Evenings can be spent walking the coastal paths lit up by dramatic sunsets. And retreating indoors isn’t so bad either when you have a cosy wood-burning stove to greet you.

Virginia

Located just a six-minute walk from Tolcarne Beach, this luxe home is the perfect escape for sun worshippers and beach enthusiasts. Sleek and modern, it's fit for the whole family and has everything you'll want for a seaside getaway – chic interiors, stylish bathrooms, sumptuous bedrooms and a state-of-the-art kitchen. Chill out at home on the fabulous terrace for alfresco cocktails and evening barbecues. When the sun goes down, gather around the fire pit or hop in the hot tub and soak under the stars. Inside is just as lovely, with bright living spaces and plenty of room to make yourself at home. Keen surfers can bring their boards and hit the waves – there's surfboard storage and an outdoor shower on-site. If you prefer a more relaxed holiday, simply sprawl out on the sandy beaches or enjoy a stroll along the picturesque coastal path. Newquay has pubs, restaurants, cafes and independent shops aplenty – all within walking distance – plus fun-filled activities like aquariums and adventure golf, so even on a rainy day, you'll find something to keep the whole family entertained. 

Sands Of Time

Experience the magic of the Cornish coast with a stay in this expansive beach house. You’ll be welcomed by sea views, locally sourced art, sculptures and designer furnishings. There’s plenty of space for socialising as well as cosy evenings by the wood burning fire or movie nights in the cinema room. All of the bedrooms come with sea views and three of them feature freestanding bathtubs – perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Outside, there’s a terrace, a barbecue and a garden path leading directly to Booby's Bay beach. From here, you can join the South West Coastal Path and it’s just a ten-minute drive into Padstow. There's also a golf course right next door. 


Clifftop Retreat

Situated between Newquay and Padstow, on the breathtaking North Cornwall coast, this spectacular seaside retreat is far enough away to avoid the summer crowds yet close enough to offer easy access to both of these popular resorts.

Boasting five bedrooms, the home can comfortably accommodate up to ten guests (eight adults and two children), making it perfect for getaways with multi-generational families and groups of friends. Elsewhere, a plethora of both indoor and outdoor seating options ensure there's always a corner to claim as your own. 

Make the most of warm summer days out on the wooden deck, with plenty of space for your kids to play on the swing and slide set in the safety of the enclosed garden. Alternatively, there's a conservatory spanning the front of the house, offering those same sought-after sea views out of the elements. Finally, a games room and a snug ensure an array of entertainment options come rain or shine.

A gate at the end of the garden leads out to a footpath down to the golden sands of the Sunday Times award-winning Mawgan Porth beach, which is particularly popular with families. The fact it's west-facing makes it popular with surfers of all abilities, though more advanced watermen will probably want to test their mettle down at nearby Fistral. Meanwhile, foodies will find plenty to tantalise their tastebuds in Padstow, less than ten miles away.

Pawprints in the Sand

For an action-packed family holiday, this lakeside lodge is set within the luxurious self-catering Retallack Resort & Spa, just eight miles from Padstow and the stunning sandy beaches and crashing surf of the North Cornwall coast. It offers a sought-after combination of luxury and comfort, with a spacious interior that has plenty of space for your group to gather together, yet more than enough secluded areas and hidden corners for everyone to find a space to call their own. The owner's love of interior design is demonstrated by the blend of classic charm and contemporary flair, with flashy fabrics and one-off artwork helping to create a home from home that's pleasing to the eye, as well as the soul. There are four bedrooms with flexible configurations that can be customised depending on the group. Cosy up by the fire over the winter months before sliding open the doors to the deck to make the most of the sunshine. Spend long summer days reclining on the outdoor sofa before hopping into the hot tub as the sun sets. The resort boasts too many on-site facilities to mention. Older kids and adults can brush up on their surfing technique on the Flow Rider. At the same time, there are plenty of other watersports on offer out on the lake, including wakeboarding, paddleboarding, and an inflatable aqua park. After an exhausting day, you might not feel like cooking dinner. Handily, the restaurant offers a takeaway service that delivers restaurant-quality food right to your door. If you can bring yourself to leave, the surrounding area is blessed with more stunning beaches than you could hope to visit over the course of a single holiday here. Local standouts include Constantine, Harlyn Bay and Newquay – all approximately twenty minutes' drive away.

Salt Lodge

Bright, modern and exceptionally styled, this enviably positioned home overlooks the sandy Gannel Estuary. Inside, an L-shaped sofa and comfy armchair are perfectly angled in front of a wall of west-facing panoramic windows. Spend evenings here reflecting on the day’s events with a glass of fizz in hand as the sun sets over the landscape. The kitchen is fully-equipped with Miele appliances, so don your chef’s hat and rustle up something tasty for your brood. If the weather’s on your side, take your plates out to the garden and dine in the glorious sunshine. 

When you’re ready to explore, Fistral Beach is only a five-minute drive away – or forty-minute walk if you fancy stretching your legs. Watch the waves roll in from Huer's Hut then try your hand at surfing on Newquay Beach. As the evening draws in, sit down to a slap-up fish supper in a revered restaurant before heading back to your pad for a gin and tonic on the main bedroom’s private balcony. 

Sun Meets Tide

Feel the call of the sea and the delicious tingle of salt in the air from this beautiful eco-home in Newquay. Just a short walk from the sands and a ten-minute walk from Newquay town centre, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to things to see and do around you, not to mention the ample entertainment options on hand in your dazzlingly modern carbon zero pad. 
 
Stepping into the open-plan living area, you’ll immediately be wowed by the amount of natural light pouring in through the large glass doors that lead out onto a private patio. Decked out with a picnic table, deck chairs and a grill, this is the perfect spot to catch some rays or gather for a celebratory barbecue feast. 
 
Spend evenings enjoying snacks and drinks around the kitchen island or unleash your competitive side at the pool table that cleverly converts into a dining table. For further fun, you’ve got plenty of board games to dive into as well as a karaoke machine to end any day on a high note. 
 
With three stylish beds, desk spaces and bathrooms boasting rainfall showers, you’re all set for a relaxing time. And when you’re ready to venture out for some sea and sand, you need only walk nine minutes to catch the surf at Newquay Beach, while Tolcarne Beach is a mere seven-minute stroll away.
