Breakers Rest

A mile away, Constantine Bay stretches out in a sweep of golden sand, popular with surfers and sunseekers alike. Within 1.5 miles, Treyarnon Bay reveals rock pools and sheltered paddling spots at low tide, while Harlyn Bay is well known for its surf school and family-friendly shoreline. St Merryn (1 mile) has welcoming pubs and handy local shops. Venture a little further to Padstow (3 miles), where independent shops, excellent seafood and boat trips along the Camel Estuary promise a classic Cornish day out. Inside the house, all four bedrooms are arranged on the ground floor. The principal bedroom hosts a super-king-size bed and a private en-suite shower room. A second king-size room can be configured as twins if required, providing flexibility for different groups, while two additional king-size bedrooms complete the sleeping arrangements. A gleaming family bathroom with a shower over the bath is ready for a long soak after sandy adventures, and a handy utility cupboard with a washing machine keeps everything ticking along smoothly. Upstairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner takes full advantage of its elevated position, framing sweeping sea vistas alongside views of the nearby lake. Contemporary kitchen units create a sleek cooking area, while comfortable sofas and a Smart TV make evenings in effortless. The dining table sits at the heart of the room, inviting long, sociable meals. Outside, the enclosed patio is set up for laid-back outdoor living, with furniture and a BBQ for summer suppers and a table tennis table for a touch of friendly competition. Private driveway parking for three cars ensures straightforward arrivals and departures throughout your stay.

Best for a group of up to eight who want sea views from the elevated lounge and all four bedrooms on one level, a mile from Constantine Bay. Less good for guests needing step-free access throughout - the kitchen and lounge are upstairs while the bedrooms are on the ground floor.
