This stunning 3-bedroom apartment sits right by the wonderful Perranporth Beach on Cornwall’s northern coast. With plenty of room for all your surf gear, Perranporth Dunes is perfect for a beachside break and lies within a 20-minute drive of Newquay and Truro.
The elevated, corner position of this apartment makes the sea views all the more special. Spacious and light, the living space enjoys dual-aspect views over the beach and town, and leads out to a terrace with seating and dining area.
This open-plan space incorporates a seating area with large sofa, armchairs and TV, as well as the kitchen. Superbly stylish and well equipped, you have a breakfast bar, dishwasher, microwave and everything else you may need. Your dining table sits right by the window to get the very best view, and you’ve got some great beachfront restaurants just moments away too.
Perranporth Dunes accommodates up to six guests in three bedrooms. You have king-size beds in all rooms, one of which can convert to two singles. All bedrooms have a TV and two have a private balcony with sea view. The master bedroom has the use of its own en suite shower room, while a family bathroom is available to all.
A private footpath leads you down to the golden sands of what is considered one of the best beaches in Cornwall. You will find plenty of pubs and restaurants in town, and numerous places to hire surfboards and wetsuits if you fancy hitting the waves. You could also head down the St Agnes Heritage Coast to beaches such as Chapel Porth and Porthtowan.
Perranporth is well located for getting the most out of your visit to Cornwall. Drive around 35 minutes south and you will come to popular St Ives, or you could cross the county to Falmouth in a similar time. The wonders of the Eden Project are only 40 minutes away, and Perranporth is less than one hour from Land’s End.
On the northern coast of Cornwall, just south of Newquay, the town of Perranporth is dominated by its beautiful beach. The rest of the town lies alongside it, rather like an extension of the beach, and offers some laid-back places to eat and drink alongside its surf shops.
Make the drive down to Newquay and you’ll find yet more surfing and water-sport opportunities, as well as attractions including a zoo, aquarium and, just outside the town, the Lappa Valley Steam Railway. With an amazing 12 beaches, it’s easy to see why so many visitors flock to Newquay, but there’s lots more to enjoy, including the 26-acre Trenance Gardens, complete with boating lake.
One of the county’s big hitters, the Eden Project, is certainly worth a visit, and there are more enchanting gardens near Mevagissey. The Lost Gardens of Heligan cover 200 acres and include Productive Gardens, Pleasure Grounds and the Jungle, a tropical garden complete with a centrepiece rope bridge from which to admire them from 100 feet up. For an Asian take on horticulture, pop into the smaller but impressive Japanese Garden at St Mawgan.
You can enjoy 18 miles of cycling on the Camel Trail, running from Padstow to Bodmin, or take it easy in Penzance’s wonderful waterfront lido, Jubilee Pool. To really crank things up, head to Liskeard for the Adrenaline Quarry with all sorts of high-energy antics to get you moving.
Cornwall is a great county for kids with its countless amazing beaches, sporting activities and outdoor play parks. Two of the biggest are the Flambards Theme Park near Helston, and the Camel Creek Adventure Park near Padstow. These are the places to go if fancy a family day out at the fairground, and there are plenty of exciting thrill rides as well.
Other highlights include Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum and Charlestown’s Shipwreck Treasure Museum, while art lovers will want to head for the impressive galleries of Penzance and St Ives, or the latter’s Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden.
Also in the west, there are the two significant landmarks of The Lizard and Land’s End, as well as the wonderful Minack Theatre in Porthcurno – visiting this open-air theatre is an unforgettable experience. If you make your way to Padstow, you can also dine at the restaurants of Paul Ainsworth and Rick Stein. There are many great places from less well-known names too, enjoying a wonderful outlook over the Camel Estuary.
