Sleeping up to 12 guests across five ensuite bedrooms, this spacious home is set within stunning private landscaped gardens and offers everything you need for a luxurious Cornish getaway, with sweeping sea views and plenty of space both inside and out.

Step through the front door and into a light-filled, open-plan living space that invites you to slow down and settle in. The large lounge is warm and welcoming, with comfortable seating and a wood-burning fire for cosy evenings after winter beach walks. A big oak dining table takes centre stage – seating up to 12 guests with ease – perfect for celebratory meals and family feasts, Cornish style! Bi-fold doors open out onto a sun-soaked deck, seamlessly blending an indoor and outdoor living experience. The kitchen is a real head turner, beautifully kitted out with a double electric oven, an AGA, Belfast sink, induction hob, SMEG fridge/freezer and a dishwasher, not to mention every bit of cookware and utensil you might need for relaxed, fuss-free feasting.

About Watergate Bay

Your corner of Cornwall.

Just 500m away, Watergate Bay is one of the largest beaches in and around Newquay, and undeniably one of Cornwall’s most famous. But it’s not just a surfer’s paradise, it happens to be one of the few year-round dog-friendly beaches with 2 miles of sandy beaches available at low tide. There are plenty of rock pools to explore, golden sand to wander on and water to paddle in. It’s also perfect for kitesurfing and windsurfing, or try your hand at kayaking, coasteering, surf rafting and plenty of other adrenaline sports.

The next closest beach is Porth Beach. Boasting a wonderful expanse of golden sand, this narrow beach is a popular choice for families with the headlands on each side keeping Porth Beach sheltered from the wind. The Porth Stream or Whipsiderry Stream crosses this beach, trickling down from the sea to the start of the beach – a lovely place for kids to splash around. There’s also plenty of rock pools to discover on either side of the beach. A point of interest here is Trevalgue Head, also known as Porth Island, is a stunning headland which can be accessed from the beach via a narrow footbridge.
