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.

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.

Settle into this sunny three-bedroom house overlooking the Truro River in Malpas, Cornwall. Whether you're looking to relax, explore the beautiful scenery of the area, or just a change of scenery for working remotely, you'll have everything you need at this beautiful home. You'll have several choices when it comes to relaxing outdoors, with a sunny front patio, back garden and terrace, and private balcony just off the second bedroom to sit out on and enjoy the picturesque countryside views of the river below. Dine alfresco in the tiered garden, or set yourself up in the study to get some work done. For those hoping for a little more excitement in their days, you'll have kayaks at your disposal to get out on the river. Just remember to be aware of the tide times when you're out!

In the sleepy village of Malpas you'll find a fantastic local pub, as well as a farm shop and tea room all within easy walking distance. Lace up your walking boots and take advantage of some excellent country walks right from your doorstep, plus regular boat tours from the marina out to nearby locations, including the bustling nearby town of Falmouth, the Trelissick Gardens or the beautiful port of St. Mawes. There's even a ferry nearby that can take you and your car over the river to the Roseland Peninsula. When you get home, spend a cosy evening warming up on the sofa in front of the log burner as the sun sets.

Scallop Cottage can sleep eight guests and even welcomes up to two dogs, making it a fantastic choice for a friendly family or a bunch of friends keen on escaping on a coastal holiday. Enjoy sweeping views through the large picture windows in the living room, prepare delicious meals in the country kitchen, or bask in the sunshine of your private backyard as you take in the boats of the marina bobbing with the tide of the waves. Weather permitting, we encourage you to take your meals alfresco or make your way down to the marina for a wonderful meal out. There are also plenty of charming cafes and bars that are sure to keep you entertained for the duration of your stay.

Tucked away in the peaceful wooded valley of Porthluney, this luxurious manor (which featured as one of GQ Magazine's "best holiday cottages in Cornwall for a relaxing summer break") welcomes up to sixteen guests to spend a few glorious days surrounded by beautiful countryside and romantic landscapes. Perfectly complementing its surroundings, Woodland Estate is a Georgian manor boasting plenty of grandeur, original character as well as the necessary home luxuries required to relax and unwind in style. An idyllic place for a wedding, this estate is also licensed for civil ceremonies and receptions for up to 150 people can be held in a marquee on the lawn. So whether you’re looking for a place to celebrate or spend a few relaxing days with your loved ones, Woodland Estate is fully equipped to offer an excellent base from which to explore The Roseland Heritage Coast (a twenty-minute drive away), you’re less than a ten-minute stroll away from the coastal path, two beautiful beaches and a fifteen-minute walk from Caerhays Castle. 

Woodland Estate

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.

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?

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.

Renovated with style, comfort, and an understated elegance in mind, this charming 19th century cottage in Cornwall isn’t just beautiful to look at, it also has some pretty spectacular views of the countryside to admire as you enjoy a cup of coffee on the sunny bench out front. 

For breakfast, you’ll find a new, striking kitchen with enough space to allow for everyone to come together and help. Once prepared, enjoy your Full English under the statement pendants currently swinging right above the dining table, or take it outside to eat alfresco around the little bistro table out front. 

Beach days lie only a ten-minute walk away, so pack your sunscreen and head off to Loe Beach for a day filled with sun, sandcastles, more Cornish ice cream than you can handle, and a quick dip in the ocean. Stop off at the cafe to enjoy fresh cake or cream tea before heading home, sundrenched and contented. 

Ferry off from just beyond Trelissick to get to the Roseland Peninsula where you will stumble upon hidden beaches and waterfront eateries. Closer to home, you can walk into the heart of the village in minutes to enjoy a meal or explore the scenic coastal paths. 

Return to a sofa that was practically made for curling up with a glass of wine and a good novel, but can just as easily accommodate the whole family for a movie night. Anyone looking to catch up on work, can do so at the dedicated desk up stairs, but something about this home might make you want to do as little as possible so you can instead kindle the fire, put your feet up, and relax and recharge. 

Brick & Book

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.

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.

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.

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 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

For a unique and unforgettable experience, stay in this operational lighthouse on the furthest point of Cornwall’s Roseland Peninsula. The sea views are second-to-none, whether that’s from the sunny patio or the detached observation room – complete with a fireplace for cosy storm watching. Seeing as this lighthouse is operational, expect to hear automatic fog signal on misty nights and see maintenance people from time to time. Other than that, the cottage is private with no public access. You’ll park in the National Trust car park – it’s a 300-metre steep path down to the cottage from there. Guests should also be aware that the home isn't suitable for children under 14, including babies. But there's a lot to love here. You even have easy access to a beautiful beach.

Haze & Clouds

Fenced Property

Nestled in the quaint village of Polgooth, just a couple of miles from the golden beaches and picturesque harbours of the south coast of Cornwall lies this pretty little ground-floor apartment. You'll have your own garden and a conservatory where you can sit out and enjoy the sunshine. Buy some catch-of-the-day from the fresh fish van on Saturday mornings and try cooking something new for dinner in the well-equipped kitchen, or sit out on one of the deck chairs in the garden with a cup of tea. In the evening, sit around the fire pit under the starry sky and share drinks after a long day.

If you're looking for a charming village hideaway, you've come to the perfect place. You'll find a well-stocked village shop and a traditional, dog-friendly pub just a short walk from your doorstep, where you can grab any necessities you might need for your stay as well as enjoy a pint with the locals. You'll also find yourself perfectly placed to reach a whole host of popular Cornish attractions and areas, including Mevagissey, Cornwall's second-largest fishing port, where you can take advantage of a range of wonderful independent shops and cafes. You'll also find it easy to reach famous locations like The Eden Project and The Roseland Peninsula, where you can stroll along beautiful beaches and discover hidden coves.

Elvan Hideaway

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.

A River to the Sea

Nestled on the Cornish coast within walking distance of Newquay's iconic Fistral Beach, this tranquil home has been designed for total relaxation. The large windows and glazed doors allow you to wake up to dramatic views of the Atlantic, while the covered balcony is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee while the restorative sea air gets to work.

Inside, the neutral palette is peppered with colourful pops of blue, creating a beachy feel that is synonymous with the area's laid-back lifestyle. You'll even have your own surfboard storage for stowing away all your beach gear here, making early morning surf sessions a complete breeze – even the most dedicated land-lubbers will be tempted to take to the waves. 

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

Believed to have been constructed for the Captain of the Mines, this house in the heart of St Agnes is a rarity. With a thriving arts and crafts scene on your doorstep and Trevaunance Cove an eighteen-minute walk away, there’s plenty to do here. Suitable for all the family, inside the home, you’ll find a games room and cinema on the lower ground floor. While outside, the garden catches the evening sun and features two terraces for alfresco refreshments. 

The Captain's Retreat

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.

Tucked away in Mevagissey, this quaint cottage oozes coastal charm. An effortless mix of old and new, you’re hit by bold, brilliant blue cabinetry that’s sleek and modern, sitting alongside exposed stonework and wooden beams as you step into the kitchen. We love the attention to detail with the decor, with the seaside vibe flowing throughout the home – our particular favourite is the seagull pattern you’ll find on cushions and lampshades, carrying you on a tour around the cottage. Spend quiet evenings curled up on the corner sofa to enjoy a movie night or get lost in a story with your holiday read – it’s the perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the Cornish coast that surrounds you. 

Before heading out for the day, rustle up a tasty full English and settle down at the kitchen table to plan for the day ahead with your loved ones. Suitably nourished, stroll to the harbour and while away a few hours exploring the independent shops that line the waterfront. Further afield, you can reach The Lost Gardens of Heligan by car in fifteen minutes, or The Eden Project in around twenty. Never short of things to do, you’ll be grateful for your calming coastal retreat, just the place to return to after a fun-filled day. 

Come Sail With Me

"Enchanted Haven" is a large, beautifully renovated house situated in the heart of Mevagissey. Nestled in a quiet location, just 300 meters from the sea and 400 meters from the beach, this four-story property offers an excellent mix of convenience and tranquility. Step outside and find yourself immersed in a charming seaside village, with shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants all within walking distance. Inside, the house boasts modern and tasteful furnishings spread across seven spacious rooms. With its open dining room and large kitchen that leads to the garden terrace, "Enchanted Haven" is perfect for gatherings with loved ones. The upper floors offer comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, providing both coziness and privacy. Whether you're exploring the nearby attractions like Lost Gardens of Heligan or simply enjoying a peaceful stroll along the South West Coast Path, this unique hideaway promises relaxation and serenity for your holiday retreat.

Perched just above the quaint fishing village of Mevagissey and the sparkling English Channel, this Edwardian home treats guests to gorgeous views of the landscape through the large bay windows — not to mention from the tables on the terraces.

Don't be fooled into thinking that the address is nothing more than a vantage point, however. Despite the property's history, the design is contemporary in flavour, with pieces from local Cornish artists adorning some walls and boldly patterned wallpaper covering others. Those with musical talents will melt at the sight of the walnut Art Deco piano in the hallway, while the sleek kitchen is a thing of beauty as well, particularly with the spaceship-esque extractor fan and chic breakfast bar seating. 

If the weather's playing ball during your stay, you're more than welcome to cook up something on the barbecue, perhaps some seafood bought from the centre of Mevagissey just over five minutes' walk away. There are plenty of restaurants nearby too, as well as a museum and the South West Coast Path running past.

Tides of Time

Situated a ten-minute walk from Fistral Beach and Newquay Golf Club, this comfortable apartment is a fabulous seaside escape for a family or couple of friends who like to spend their time outdoors. Inside, an open-plan living space with a tropically sweet pink and green colour scheme opens up onto a private balcony, where you can sit out with indulgent cream tea and watch fishing boats slip over the horizon. A clever kitchen makes light work of whipping up culinary favourites, but if you’d prefer to eat out, there’s a fine selection of restaurants a fifteen-minute walk from your doorstep. Once you’re fuelled and raring to go, scamper down to the waterfront to carve through crashing waves or relax on golden sands. Head home at the end of a windswept day, tuck away your surfboard in the storage provided and fall back into comfortable beds for a night of sweet dreams. 

Fistral Vista

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.

Fans of sunbathing and surfing will be pleased to know you're just a twelve-minute walk from the beach. Wander over in the mornings to catch the waves or just rest your towel on the golden sands. Pack refreshments and you're able to spend a whole day under the gentle glow of the summer sun.

Head inland and you'll find the charming restaurants, pubs and cafes that shape Newquay. The entire town is set up for tourists, so you'll feel extremely welcome perusing the independent stores and cute shops. 

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

Playground

Heated Pool

Courtyard

Just a few miles away from the city of Truro, this quaint, stone–cladded cottage is tucked away within thirteen acres of glorious garden and woodland. So, if you’re looking for a private paradise that’s well connected with civilisation, this place hits the nail on the head. 

With its wooden beamed frontage and luscious shrubbery, you’ll instantly fall in love with its countrified good looks – and as you step inside beyond the blue front door, a welcoming snug awaits.

The open–plan kitchen–diner is definitely the heart of the home. Leading directly onto the living room, there’s no better space for a spot of socialising with family and friends – and with access to the garden from the patio doors, you won’t need to travel far to soak up the rays. 

We love the way the tall windows allow natural light to flood from room to room, making things bright and breezy. The statuesque, beamed ceilings sit high on our list of ‘loves’, too. 


Cornish Cream Tea

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

Air Conditioning

Breakfast Included

Inspired by the light at Barbara Hepworth’s house in St Ives, the owners have crafted the perfect artist’s studio – a place to retreat, rest and be inspired by the beauty of life.

Tucked behind a Georgian–listed house overlooking the historic harbour of Charlestown, this is a wonderful setting to experience the atmospheric charm of Cornwall. And with its elegant styling and traditional features, there’s a quiet joy to this home that makes you want to settle in and stay. 

You’ll love waking up and stepping into the private garden – this is a lovely spot to feel the refreshing sea breeze as you drink your morning coffee. Inside, the space is sensitively designed to feel intimate and cosy – at night you can hear the calming sound of waves in the distance. 

And when you feel inspired to explore, it’s just a short stroll down to the beach and across the quay to the village. Here you’ll find a lovely pub, restaurant, cafe, deli and antique shop, while other highlights like the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are less than a twenty–minute drive away. 

Pearl in the Sea

Some homes are designed around a view and this is one of them. Perched close to the Cornish coastline, it's possible to gaze out at peaceful vistas of Swanpool lagoon or Falmouth Bay, depending on which of the floor-to-ceiling windows you're standing next to at any given moment. The best spot at the address, however, has to be the covered balcony, from which you can enjoy the coastal panorama with a sea breeze on your skin.

One added benefit of all this glass is the copious amount of natural light that it lets into the home and this asset is emphasised by the preference for stark white in the walls and the kitchen's sleek surfaces. The home's design is definitely shaped by contemporary minimalism, which will really sing to those who have no time for nautical kitsch found in plenty of local properties.

As a glimpse out the windows will tell you, the sea isn't all too far away – in fact, you can be standing on the sands of Swanpool beach in under five minutes' walk. This seaside spot sits on the South West Coast Path, so you can ramble on in either direction if you so wish. The town of Falmouth will take you half an hour to reach on foot, too.

Waves on the Horizon

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.
