Perched between the world-renowned surfing towns of Watergate Bay and Newquay – this spot in Porth is just a five-minute walk away from the village beach's shallow waters, rock pools and nearby restaurants. From the moment you arrive, peace and tranquillity can be found in every corner of the home. It offers an idyllic spot to unwind after days of exploring the coastline and whiling away on the beach. With its own private balcony overlooking the countryside, look forward to evenings of drinks with a view and alfresco dinners in the open air, before a spot of stargazing up at the twinkling night sky. When the weather is cooler, the large open plan living space featuring a Smart TV and a Bluetooth speaker and heaps of natural light will also serve you well. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring the local areas of Watergate Bay, a five-minute drive to the north as well as Newquay and its famous Fistral Beach around ten minutes south of Porth. Discover a huge array of beach boutiques, quality eateries and quintessential English pubs wherever you decide to go, as most Cornish beach towns promise memorable amenities and fun-filled days out... in abundance.
