Tide And Dune

Gather your favourite people and stay at this holiday home on Cornwall’s north coast to make the most of sea air and sweeping horizons. 1 mile from the door, Constantine Bay delivers vast stretches of sand and dependable surf. Within 1.5 miles, Treyarnon Bay has sheltered spots for rock pooling and paddling, while nearby Harlyn Bay is a go-to for surf lessons and bucket-and-spade afternoons alike. For easy evenings close to home, the village of St Merryn (1 mile) provides welcoming pubs and local shops. Padstow (3 miles) makes a good day out, with independent shops, fresh seafood and boat trips along the Camel Estuary.

Inside the house, you’ll find all three bedrooms conveniently arranged on the ground floor. The master bedroom comes with a king-size bed and its own en-suite shower room. A second king-size room can be arranged as twins on request, and the bunk room suits younger guests. A contemporary family bathroom with a shower over the bath for a leisurely soak after a day by the sea. There’s also a useful utility cupboard housing a washing machine. Upstairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which houses a warming wood burner and makes the most of its elevated position, capturing sea vistas and views of the nearby lake. Sleek kitchen units make cooking a pleasure, while comfortable sofas and a Smart TV create an inviting setting for evenings in. The dining table brings everyone together for sociable mealtimes.

Outside, a generously sized enclosed patio is set up with outdoor furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining. Private driveway parking for two cars means you can arrive and depart with ease throughout your stay.
