Hideaway

Hideaway is a one-bedroom barn conversion for two on a small rural site at Mellionnec Vean near Quintrell Downs, 4.2km inland from Watergate Bay. The mezzanine bedroom sits above an open-plan living and kitchen space, and a Cornish cream tea is laid out on arrival.

Underfloor heating runs through the ground floor, with a wood burner and open fire for cooler evenings. The kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine; the bathroom is a wet room with accessible features (worth confirming specifics with the booking team if mobility needs are tight). Wi-Fi and off-road parking are included, and the enclosed garden has a BBQ. No pets here - the sister property Lost Barn next door takes dogs if that matters.

Whipsiderry Beach with its low-tide caves is 4.1km, and Watergate Bay's 2-mile arc of sand and the Watergate Bay Extreme Academy are 4.2km by road. Newquay town centre, Fistral and the airport are within 3 miles south. Quintrell Downs has a Co-op and the train halt on the Atlantic Coast Line for a day trip to Par or Padstow (via the Newquay-Par link).

Best for couples wanting a quiet rural base with ground-floor accessibility, fireplace evenings, and a short drive to several north-coast beaches. Less good for guests who need to walk to sand or want the bay on the doorstep.
