Sandyford

Sandyford is a 4-bedroom house in Holywell Bay on Cornwall's north coast, sleeping 8 across 3 bathrooms. Sea views are included, and Holywell Bay beach is 800m away on foot - a wide, dune-backed beach that holds National Trust designation and is one of the few north Cornish beaches with consistent family-friendly conditions. Surf hire operates seasonally from the beach car park.

Porth Joke (Polly Joke) beach is 1.6km further along the coast path - a National Trust-owned cove with no road access that makes it reliably quieter than Holywell Bay in peak summer. Both beaches are reachable without driving. Perranporth, a larger surf town with shops and restaurants, is around 7km north by road.

The property includes a BBQ, garden, parking, WiFi, dishwasher, and washing machine. Dogs are welcome. Newquay airport is around 15km east, making this a reasonable option for guests flying in. Priced from £925 per night across 4 bedrooms, this suits families or groups of up to 8 who want direct beach access and sea views without sacrificing indoor space. It is less good for guests who want a village location with walking-distance pubs and shops - Holywell Bay has limited facilities and most services require a drive to Newquay or Perranporth.
