Mawgan Porth View, Mawgan Porth

Cornwall. Sleeps up to 8

Fusing stylish and contemporary urban chic with a gentle country style, Mawgan Porth View is a tranquil haven with sublime coastal views and alfresco table tennis for a little fun in the sun!

The main living area enjoys two large sofas in front of both a cosy contemporary wood stove and a large TV, with vast patio doors providing gorgeous countryside views and immediate access to the fresh, sea air! Your enormous kitchen is a fabulously modern addition to the home, with tons of surface space and beautifully incorporated facilities. Connected in a fabulously open-plan style is your delightful beach-hut-esque conservatory, where you can enjoy formal dining in a warm, bright atmosphere, with a sofa to one side.

There are four delightful bedrooms in total, each with crisp white walls and muted pastel tones echoing the fresh vibe of the rural, beachy world beyond. On the ground floor there is a super king zip link bed that can be arranged as a twin if required as well as a shower room, with the remaining three rooms on the first-floor. Here there is a second zip link super king room, a twin room for the children, and a fabulous double room with its own ensuite bathroom! Finally, there is a family bathroom on this floor, completing the fabulous array of facilities.

Step out to your enchanting garden which surrounds the home for some fresh sea-air and breath-taking views. To the front, on the terrace, you can enjoy reclining in a sun-lounger, soaking up the sunshine and admiring the distant fields, and even the sea! To the back, a large terrace with alfresco dining and even table tennis is great for all the family! With an elevated lawn, the youngsters can enjoy frolicking in the sunshine while you keep half an eye on them from the terrace.

Just moments from the village of Mawgan Porth, you can truly enjoy the best of both worlds, with a fabulous rural-feel, creating a harmony with the natural world and offering incredible countryside views, yet with all the amenities within easy reach. And for more surfing, shops and quaint cafes, the famous beach-paradise of Newquay is a 15-minute drive away.

Huge skies, glistening beaches and wild flower-strewn clifftops are rightfully the lasting images of Cornwall, and its warm climate, amazing scenery, and diverse Celtic heritage, including the arts and its enormous wealth of archaeology, certainly justifies the fierce pride of its people.

Famous for its water-sports, in particular surfing and sailing, Cornwall also offers an incredible rock-climbing scene, off-road cycling (including the 18 mile ‘Camel Trail’ following the scenic estuary of the river Camel) and of course, walking. The South West Coast Path, which runs for hundreds of miles along the West Country southern coastline, is particularly scenic around Penwith and the Lizard in the far south-west, venturing through vibrant towns, remote cliffs, beaches, farms and fishing villages. Another incredible walking path is the 125-mile Cornish Celtic Way, mapped by a local 55-year-old clergyman, which will show you a wilder, even more romantic side of this luscious county.

Be sure to try a Cornish pasty and delicious sweet Saffron buns, and of course a little Cornish Clotted cream and Ice Cream! And for a local tipple, the three major breweries of St Austell, Sharps and Skinners serve excellent beer in pubs throughout the county, and because of its mild climate Cornwall has a number of vineyards producing delicious wine, and is even known for its production of honey wine!

Though the magic of the county really happens in the rural Cornish landscape, there are many enchanting towns in Cornwall. Some famous ones include: Bude with its excellent beaches, first class surfing and laidback, relaxed vibe on the north coast; Newquay, the surfing capital of the UK, and; St Ives, the home of one branch of the Tate Gallery, with white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters.

If you must visit a city (for a little retail therapy, or perhaps to see a show) the only one in the county is Truro, with High Tea at Charlotte's offering an unmissable experience, in a charming Victorian building serving Cornish-grown tea! There are two covered markets, one of which sells eco/organic products, and on Saturday mornings there’s a great farmers' market on the piazza where you can find local produce.

To get in, there are ever-improving roads and trains running right through to Penzance in the far south-west of the county, as well as Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY) about 5 miles from Newquay, or a 30-40-minute drive from Truro. The nearby airports of Exeter (EXT) and Bristol (BRS) offer a wider range of flights than Newquay and will usually be significantly cheaper. Car hire is available at all three airports.
