Situated a fifteen-minute mosey from Carbis Bay Beach and just one-and-a-half miles from St Ives, you’re in the perfect spot for an unforgettable Cornish holiday – and that’s without mentioning the rest. From its slightly elevated position, windows frame stunning views of the Bay and Godrevy Lighthouse. Throw open your bedroom curtains to watch waves roll in on water so blue, it could be the Caribbean. When it’s time for breakfast, a flash kitchen has state of the art appliances aplenty and a reclaimed wood dining table seats the whole brood with ease. Out the back, there’s a manicured garden with barbecue and comfy seating area for taking full advantage of Cornwall’s glorious sunshine. If you feel like stretching your legs, take the thirty-five-minute walk east to Porthkidney Sands or twenty minutes north to Porthminster Beach. And when you head back, salty-haired and worn out, eco-friendly underfloor heating warms chilly toes after they’ve spent an afternoon paddling in the Atlantic.
