Kernowfornia

Kernowfornia is a four-bedroom dormer bungalow on Greenbank Crescent in Newquay, sleeping eight across a king-size room with Juliet balcony, a twin, a convertible ground-floor double that doubles as a playroom, and a bunk room. Two bathrooms serve the group. Dogs are welcome throughout and off-road parking covers two cars.

The rear garden is well equipped for families - a children's play area with slide and swing, a patio, and a BBQ for the warmer months. A front decked area faces the coast. Inside, the kitchen runs to a dishwasher and washing machine. Changeover is Friday.

Whipsiderry Beach is 700 metres on foot - a long sand cove in a sheltered inlet, reached via steep steps cut into the cliff. Tolcarne Beach is 0.9 miles and Great Western Beach 1.1 miles. Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium are both within 2 miles, which gives the group indoor and rain-day options without a long drive.

Best for larger families with young children and at least one dog who want outdoor space, a children's play area, and three beaches within walking distance. Less suited to groups looking for a quiet rural retreat - Greenbank Crescent is a residential street in north Newquay with the town centre and beach activity close by.
