Jasmine Cottage

Jasmine Cottage is a three-bedroom cottage in St Columb Minor, on the edge of Newquay and opposite the village's 15th-century church. It sleeps 5 across a king-size room, a twin and a single, and keeps its original high beamed ceilings and exposed stonework.

A four-poster bed is one of the period details inside, and an open fire provides the main indoor focal point. Two bathrooms serve the group. Wi-Fi, a dishwasher and a washing machine cover the practical side of a longer stay, though there is no EV charging point.

The enclosed garden has a barbecue, a surfboard rack and an outdoor solar-heated shower, useful after a morning in the sea. Parking is provided, dogs are accepted, and a dog-friendly pub is a short walk away. Whipsiderry Beach is 0.7 miles from the cottage, Tolcarne Beach is 1.3 miles and Watergate Bay is 1.4 miles. Porth Beach, the wide family bay that St Columb Minor sits closest to, is about 15 minutes on foot, and Fistral Beach is roughly 2 miles west. The St Columb Minor guide has more on the village.

Eight reviews average 4.7, with cleanliness, equipment and comfort all scoring 5 out of 5 and location 4.9. **Best for:** a family or surf group wanting three bedroom types, an enclosed garden and beach access within 1.5 miles. **Less good for:** guests needing step-free access, EV charging or on-site spa facilities.
