The Hyde is special. Every inch of the home, right from the shell to the interiors, is masterfully crafted by hand. Tucked away in a dense wood, far from the world, it's a perfect retreat for a couple or a solo traveller. From the cosy Bohemian interiors to luxurious appliances (think Heston Blumenthal BBQ and Bose sound system), there's plenty to love. Step outside after a breakfast on the deck and you can spend a day swinging on the hammocks or lounging on the recliners amid birds. Revel each day in coastal walks across Porthtowan Beach until you reach the cliffs. Cycle around villages and all across this UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you're a surfer, the hosts own their own Surf shop and will be happy to help. You will be welcomed with a Cornish tea of home-made scones, clotted cream and jam. And, if in season, you may get a package of home-grown seasonal organic vegetables as a gift.

There are lots of things that impressed us about this cute cottage close to the North Cornish coastline. First off, there's a lot of room inside considering it's only for two people, with the modern corner kitchen particularly large — and well-equipped for that matter. This generosity with space will have contributed towards the M2 Accessibility Rating it received from Visit England, which marks the single-level property out as suitable for guests with reduced mobility and part-time wheelchair users. What's more, there's a private sandstone patio complete with alfresco seating and a hot tub from which to enjoy summer evening sunsets. If you prefer to watch this while sitting on the sand with the sound of the waves lapping nearby, Perranporth Beach is less than ten minutes' drive. Similarly, the towns of Truro and Newquay only take a quarter of an hour to reach by car.

Welcome Hamper

This home in the seaside town of Perranporth has all the convenience and comfort of a new build while enjoying a position a short walk from the beach. In fifteen minutes on foot, you can be in the heart of town where seafood restaurants and cosy pubs abound, plus there’s a sweep of sandy beach and access to the glorious South West Coastal Path. Return to your sleek, modern abode where comfort is the name of the game. Some may say “soulless”, but we say if the sofas are squishy, the kitchen is fully equipped (even with a wine fridge) and the beds are top-notch, what’s not to love?  

The Golden Gilded

This Cornwall home might be compact, but it definitely does the job. Not only is it wonderfully bright with all the right furnishings to make it feel cosy, but it also puts you within easy access to Perranporth Beach. 

Stroll to find where golden sand meets the Atlantic and wander the stretching beach until you’ve come across the perfect spot to spend the day. Perranporth is a paradise for watersports enthusiasts, so why not sign up for snorkelling or surfing lessons? Build sandcastles, eat melting ice cream, frolic in the surf or sunbathe whilst listening to the gently lapping waves until you go in search of lunch. 

You’ll find quite a few restaurants in the surrounding – one only a minute away from your front door – but we recommend fish and chips to pay homage to the coastal location. 

Of course, you can always bring your chippy back home to enjoy it in peaceful solitude on the terrace. Stay out after enjoying an ice-cold pint in the sunshine as the children run around on the sloping lawn. 

Razorbill

Tucked away on a quiet lane in Cubert, a small village on the North Coast of Cornwall, this cottage is just the place to recharge your batteries. Once a piggery and hay barn, many of the original features are still inside, from the vaulted timber beam ceilings to the exposed stonework. But old-world charm is not all that's on offer – with underfloor heating, rainfall showers and a sleek high-spec kitchen, creature comforts abound. Our favourite spot has to be the balcony, where you can enjoy a morning coffee or an evening sundowner whilst admiring the sweeping countryside views. The garden is the perfect spot to bask in the sunshine – sprawl out on the lounge chairs with a good book or fire up the grill and tuck into an alfresco meal in the fresh air. Best of all is the location. Stroll through the green orchards towards the village, home to a beloved 16th-century pub and a few coffee shops. When you're in the mood for a beach day, hop in the car and drive five minutes to Holywell Bay, a haven for exceptional surfing, sandy beaches and excellent restaurants.

You could sneak in through the back at this apartment in a Regency manor, but that would take away from the grand entrance worthy of a Jane Austen heroine. Sashaying through the double doors and across the marble floor, past the stone fireplace, you come to your abode. It’s in the old ballroom of the manor, and the floor-to-ceiling bays windows and gilded mirrors haven’t changed since the days of swishing gowns and music from the pianoforte (indeed, there’s still a grand piano in here). 

Rather than a bandstand, there’s now a kitchen at the head of the ballroom, and if you prefer your evenings slightly more intimate, a book-lined snug with a plush velvet sofa awaits in the bedroom. We love the hand-carved antique bed, waiting to see you off to the land of nod.

There are acres of grounds to explore on the estate, but if you want to get out and see the Cornish coast, it’s just a ten-minute drive to the beaches of St Ives Bay. The gallery-filled old fishing town of St Ives itself is just twenty minutes by car. 

Gowns & Grandeur

The impeccable styling makes the interiors of this home as fresh as the wafting Porthtowan sea breeze. Set in a lodge, it is particularly relaxing and convenient for families with children and couples alike. With unassuming reading nooks and peppy quotes dotted throughout the space, this home on the hill is a quiet haven for those in need of a meditative pause. Despite the fair bit of footfall in the locality, the minimalist and uncluttered home captures the very essence of a quiet life by the beach.

Catch A Wave

Stair Gates

Neatly tucked away on a quiet country lane, this former cowshed has been beautifully converted into a comfortable family getaway. A bright and breezy kitchen-diner is the heart of the home, where suppers are devoured and the day’s anecdotes are shared over a bottle of wine. Bifold doors reveal a sun trap patio, complete with barbecue and seating area – it’s the perfect spot for an ice-cold drink on balmy afternoons. When the time’s right, grab the beach gear from the shed and hotfoot it down to the idyllic Holywell Bay – it’ll take you twenty-five minutes if you’re walking but just five in the car. And if you’re in the mood for a little more action, the vibrant seaside town of Newquay is a ten-minute drive away. After sand castle building and bodyboarding, retreat to your cosy pad for a cup of tea and well-deserved biscuit or two in front of the crackling wood-burning stove.

Breezy and bright, this home has quintessential English seaside written all over it. Whether you're here to top up your tan, hike breathtaking coastal paths or surf Fistral's world-class waves, you couldn't be more perfectly positioned to enjoy everything that Newquay has to offer. On arrival, it's hard to look past the view over the beach. So swing open the French doors, breathe in that sea air and listen to the sounds of the sea – the soundtrack to your stay. We loved the relaxed living spaces that made us nostalgic for childhood holidays to the Cornish coast. It's the ideal spot to sit back with your morning coffee as you plan what to do with your day. Of course, the beach offers something completely different depending on the weather. Blow away the cobwebs on a windy walk, brave a bracing dip, or soak up the sun on the sand. As for the surfing? That's a year-round pursuit. There's no such thing as cold water, just the wrong gear. And there are plenty of local surf shops that can kit you out. Away from the beach, the town beckons with an excellent selection of seafood restaurants and cool cafes with some classic Cornish fare too. Who doesn't love a pasty? Families will love the zoo and aquarium, while couples can enjoy the sunset from the comfort of a contemporary home with views to die for.

Swallow's Hide-Out

This beautiful Grade II-listed Georgian Manor House in the heart of Cornwall is perfect for large gatherings and celebrations. Tucked away among thirty acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, there are plenty of woodland paths, ponds and rolling hills for adults and children alike to enjoy. Gyllyngvase Beach takes less than twenty minutes to reach in the car as well. Alternatively, you could use the large lawn at the front of the home for a friendly game of croquet or cricket. Inside, you’ll be blown away by the high ceilings, snug drawing rooms and period-inspired furnishings that will bring a touch of elegance to your holiday. However, there are so many ways to let loose here. The conservatory, for example, has a billiards table, disco ball and sound system, and there's also table tennis that can be set up in the rear hall or courtyard. On sunny days, the patio with its barbecue and alfresco dining area will naturally be the place to be, but there's also the option to slip away from the crowds for a dip in the outdoor hot tub, complete with candles and LED lighting.

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

If you like the idea of going eco-friendly for a while but don't want to completely give up on comforts, this cosy barn powered by renewable energy could just be a happy compromise. 

The renovated cob and stone property sits within six acres of idyllic riverside woodland and is built out of natural materials, including oak, lime, cob, pigmented clay plaster and locally sourced slate. Inside, there are a few rustic features, such as the exposed stonework and wood-burning fireplace, but otherwise, it's undeniably contemporary thanks to the conservatory, sleek kitchen and pristine bathrooms. The fact that it's powered by a wind turbine and a heat pump is pretty impressive, too.

Given the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding grounds, you'll be happy to hear that there's a natural swimming pool close to the home — shared only with the host, who lives on the site, and one other barn — as well as a barbecue and some spots for an alfresco feast. 

Although it feels like you're in splendid isolation at this address, you can head back to civilisation pretty swiftly if you wish. The town of Truro takes a quarter of an hour to reach in the car, while Perranporth Beach on the north and south Cornish coastlines can be reached in just under twenty-five.

Song of the Land

Boasting one of the most sought-after addresses in Newquay, this stunning five-bedroom family home enjoys a spectacular position on the Pentire Peninsula, looking out over the Gannel estuary and towards Crantock Beach.

The entire home is designed to make the most of the spectacular natural riches on your doorstep, with a private path leading down through the garden to the estuary, a sun-soaked slate terrace with loungers set around a plunge pool for sunny days, and a balcony equipped with a barbecue for long summer evenings outdoors. When you combine all this with the awe-inspiring views on offer, you've got a recipe for something truly special.

It's a similar story inside, where floor-to-ceiling panes of glass create light-filled spaces that have been tailored to your family's needs. On the ground floor, a vast multi-purpose living room encourages you to spend cooler evenings gathered together around the fire. Alternatively, make your way downstairs to sit back and relax on the vast U-shaped sofa and make your way through a movie marathon.

Finally, five well-appointed bedrooms offer relaxing refuges to lay your head at the end of the day. However, the main en-suite bedroom – which occupies the entirety of the top floor – is the undoubted stand-out option. With its own balcony and separate seating area, it offers unprecedented privacy away from the hubbub of the floors below.

Ocean Walk

If coastal walking is your thing, look no further. With the Gannel estuary, rugged coastal paths and the craggy Pentire Penninsula on your doorstep, this home is awash with a low-key, British seaside atmosphere. The buzz of Newquay beckons – stroll fifteen minutes or drive into town for fresh seafood restaurants, cosy pubs serving classic Cornish fare and independent boutiques, or wander ten minutes to Fistral Beach and sprawl out on the sand.

But if downtime calls, this roomy, open-plan home is brimming with natural light and comfy places to unwind. Dine alfresco on the private balcony, watching the waves roll in as the sun goes down, or catch up on family time with movie night.

There's no shortage of mod-cons here either, including an Xbox One, a delightful gas range cooker and outdoor surfboard storage. Whether you want to hang ten or just hang out, this home has it all.

With a prime location right on Newquay's famous Tolcarne Beach, this bright, beautiful home is the ideal base for a family or group of friends looking for a seaside holiday in the UK. Your hosts have certainly made the perfect spot to relax in, with a light-filled living space benefitting from nautical decor and comfy, neutral furniture. But, while the house itself will soon have you feeling all warm and cosy inside, we suspect you'll be here for the beach, which is just a 300m stroll over the Tankerton slopes. From here – this charming, coastal village offers a tumble of cheery cafes, indie shops and gourmet restaurants to sink your teeth into. After exploring the beach, you’ll relish a soak in the spa-style tub, or for a magical end to the day, grab a glass of wine and head out to your private patio. Feel the calm ocean breeze wash right over you, as you dine alfresco or snuggle up in front of the fireplace for an evening in. 

Seashells & Pearls

Rooftop Terrace

Most tourists make a beeline for the Cornish coast – but little do they know that this beloved landscape is home to another beautiful feature, the Fal River. The surroundings here are slightly different, where green pasture gives way to mixed woodland and small pebbled riverside beaches. This characterful, quintessentially Cornish cottage dates back to the 1800s and provides perfect panoramic views over these stunning vistas, with three separate outside seating areas to choose from. Watch the sailboats float by as you lie on the garden bed, or have breakfast on the terrace while waving to a passing paddle-boarder – the river is never far away, and you can even view the shimmering water from your double bed. Trelissick is just a twenty-minute drive away, and Swanpool Beach is a sandy cove half an hour away, beside Swanpool Nature Reserve. After all that exploring, stop at the local inn three doors down for a pint before heading home to play a board game in front of the cosy log burner. 

Fal River Cottage

Arranged over three floors, this maisonette just five minutes walk from Newquay town centre has a pared-back, modern style, with a muted grey and white colour palette making the interior feel as bright and breezy as its coastal setting. Fully modernised but retaining some of its period features, it's got plenty of space for a large family and comes with a real treat in the form of a decked balcony to the rear.

Set over three floors, you'll have an elegant living room with a feature wall of exposed stone, a huge kitchen-diner and bedrooms over the top two floors. The master has a fabulous bay window and its stylish en-suite is open to the room to make the most of its light, while the main bathroom features a freestanding bathtub to soak in after a day on the nearby beach. The sea is less than a mile away and there are both surf schools and board hire shops if you fancy hitting the waves. Less sporty guests will appreciate the array of restaurants in the town centre, and of course, there's nowhere better for evening drinks than on your own balcony. 

Jam & Clotted Cream

Whether you’re enjoying a glass of wine or a sociable family meal at the glass dining table, you’ll be able to look out over the curved bay of Fistral Beach from the huge windows of this penthouse home. Walk just three minutes and find yourself on the sandy shores of one of the most popular beaches in Newquay – and one of the best beaches for surfing in Europe. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, there are surfing schools along the coast to jumpstart or advance your foray into the sport. Start your day with a cup of coffee on the private terrace as you make your plans for the day, or just spend the morning hours watching the comings and goings of the waves. The kitchen is perfect for preparing meals at home, while the bedrooms feel comfortable and cosy, with all the charm of a real lived-in home. In the evenings you’ll witness some spectacular sunsets – pour yourself a glass of wine, settle in the white leather armchair, and watch the sky change colours over the water. Whether you’re interested in walks along the South West Coastal path, golfing or a visit to the aquarium, you’ll find yourself well-placed for exploring this part of the Cornish coast.

Upon The Hyldreth

There's a distinct boho edge to the interior design in this Newquay apartment, what with the hanging macrame, house plants and array of woven furnishings.

Chapel Haven

Set in a secluded spot within twenty acres, this upside-down home makes the most of the countryside vistas and will have you itching to get out to explore. While a car is necessary for travelling further afield, there are walks from your doorstep here or you can take a ride on the Helston Railway to soak up the scenery – it’ll stop at the bottom of the garden for you. After a day spent exploring the coastline, return home and pop the complimentary homemade fish pie in the Aga for the perfect dinnertime treat.

A Book of Love

As environmentally sympathetic as it is stylish, this quiet hideaway close to the North Cornish coast is a perfect blend of pared-back simplicity and modern comfort. A picture of immaculate design, it's a cabin-style home made from natural materials (timber framing and bee-friendly bricks) that give way to an interior decorated in neutral shades of cream, light wood and olive green. Minimalist furnishings, sleek flooring and a bright white kitchen with high spec appliances ensure there's no roughing it here.

You’ll breeze between outdoor and indoor living with sliding glass doors that lead out to a private hot tub, well-kept garden, and patio area. Start your day with breakfast in the fresh sea air, before strolling down to the idyllic Gwithian Beach, discovering the spectacular sand dune formations and wild Nature Reserve backed onto the shore. Just a seventeen-minute drive from St Ives and nine to the National Trust's Godrevy Beach, there's plenty to do and see nearby, with a peaceful location just a five-minte drive from the town of Hayle. 

From the Source

Set in a privileged position overlooking the Blue Flag-awarded Carbis Bay Beach, this apartment offers barefoot luxury, stunning interiors and jaw-dropping views in one of the UK's most inspiring stretches of coast. The interior is beautifully styled, with crisp, clean decor and deep blue highlights throughout, from the awning-striped curtains and plant prints to the contemporary kitchen and outdoor furniture. The open-plan living room features a comfortable corner sofa that you can stretch out on with the French doors flung open and enjoy alfresco breakfasts out on the balcony. Elsewhere, the master bedroom boasts an en-suite, plus its own set of large French doors that frame those picture-perfect views and open up to you can enjoy that fresh early morning sea breeze from the sanctuary of your bedroom. At the front of the building, a communal garden is perfect for casual picnic lunches. Then, a few minutes' walk away, hop on board the train for the short scenic journey to St Ives. The town offers mouthwatering cuisine and an abundance of culture thanks to Tate St Ives.

Seagulls Soar

Playground

You’ll find this family cottage perched overlooking the Cornish countryside. This country retreat is perfect for a family or group of friends looking to escape the city. The interiors are bright and modern – offering plenty of communal dining and living space. You’ll likely spend most of your time outside – with a large private garden boasting amazing views. Complete with a play area – the kids will have no issues entertaining themselves. Situated in the north-east of Cornwall – the nearest town is Camborne. If you’re hoping to explore the coastline – you’ll find the sandy beach at Portreath just a short drive away. 

The Cornish Rest

Temperature Control

We loved this home’s wooden deck – with stunning sea views, a dining table, barbecue, two loungers and Adirondacks facing the ocean, it’s fully equipped for time well-spent outside. Factor in that you’re less than a ten-minute walk from the beach and you have a real winner. Meander down the South West Coast Path to laidback Sennen Cove with its stretch of golden sand and tropical-blue water. Here Cornish fishermen brush shoulders with tousle-haired surfers. We recommend renting a board and catching a wave – there are two highly-rated surf schools in the area. When you return home, hit the outdoor shower and set your wetsuits to dry in the warm utility room before heading inside, where you’ll find it’s just as lovely as its surroundings – smart and minimal with touches of nautical chic. We especially love the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area. Kick back on the sofas and play a board game or puzzle all together. Then gather around the light wood table for a feast before retiring to the bedrooms for some restful sleep, knowing there’s another beautiful seaside morning waiting for you when you awake.
