Chi An Mor

Chi An Mor is a single-level house in Porth, on the northeast edge of Newquay, with a Scandinavian log-burning hot tub, open fire and a games room in a converted garage. The property is entirely on the ground floor and sits 800 metres from Whipsiderry Beach.

Two bedrooms provide the sleeping arrangements: a super king-size (which can be configured as twins) and a double. A bathroom has a bath with hand-held shower. The kitchen is separate from the sitting room and diner, where a woodburning stove provides the focal point. A snug or sun room adds a second sitting space, and the games room gives the property an extra dimension for wet-weather days.

The large garden has a patio, lawn, outdoor seating and the Scandinavian hot tub. Driveway parking is available, and a pub is within 0.3 miles with a shop within 0.6 miles. Whipsiderry Beach - a sandy cove between high cliffs - is an 800-metre walk, while Tolcarne Beach is 0.9 miles and Great Western Beach 1.1 miles. Both Newquay town beaches are dog-friendly year-round. Two dogs are welcome.

Porth is about a mile from Newquay town centre, close enough for restaurants and attractions but with a quieter feel. Watergate Bay is a 20-minute walk north along the coast path. The Blue Reef Aquarium and Newquay Zoo are south of Porth, towards the town.

Nearby: Whipsiderry Beach (800m) and Tolcarne Beach (0.9 miles). See our St Columb Minor guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

**Best for:** dog owners or a family group wanting a private hot tub and a games room for wet-weather days, 800 metres from Whipsiderry Beach. **Less good for:** two families sharing - a single bathroom serves both the super king and double bedrooms. The merchant notes that small steps lead to the upper tier of the garden, so guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking.
