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.

Hyde & Seek

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.

Wheelchair Access

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.

Lord of the Isles

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.

Amid The Orchards

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

Sonos

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.

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.

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.

Surf the Wave

Nestled on the Cornish coast within walking distance of Newquay's iconic Fistral Beach, this tranquil home has been designed for total relaxation.

Or, lace up your walking boots and spend afternoons exploring the nearby rugged coves and sweeping bays before retreating to your cosy home to share a meal at the handsome Scandi-style dining table, and sink into the luxury linens. Can you almost hear the waves gently lapping the shore already? 

Soul Surfer

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.

Fistral Vista

Satellite / Cable TV

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

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.

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. 

Cornish Sand

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. 

Glowing Up

Newquay is the heart of Cornwall, and this stylish home resides right in the centre of its vibrant streets and gorgeous beaches. Upbeat and full of character, it's the type of place that makes you feel like you're truly on holiday.

Whether you spend your days at the beach or just basking in the buoyancy of the town, head back home in the evening for dinner in the garden. In the warmer months, it's a dreamy spot for Cornish pasties and a few glasses of wine. 

When the weather is a bit cooler, gather in the snug living room with a film or just chat away about tomorrow's adventure. 


New In Town

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.

The Seadrift

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. Mixed with the natural light from the skylights and the stark white walls, it's inescapably relaxing. The neatly tiled bathrooms bring a touch of spa quality and the wooden dining table illuminated by the overhanging light fixture is ideal for gathering the group around for a hearty supper after a day out at the seaside — there's no shortage of beaches in the town, that's for sure. Tolcarne Beach is only two minutes' walk away and the larger Newquay Beach takes ten. An added benefit is that the apartment itself has storage options for surfboards and bicycles, which gives you alternative ways to explore the Cornish coastline.
