This wonderful property, situated in ever-popular Perranporth, less than a mile from the beach, is the perfect getaway for families and groups of friends. Sleeping eight over four bedrooms and with space for the dog, everyone is welcome here. Spend long days at the beach, making sandcastles and paddling, or head off on walks on the South West Coast Path from Newquay (9 miles) or Gwithian (17 miles).

Hang up your coats in the hallway and enter the kitchen/diner where contemporary worktops, bright and airy decor and plenty of natural light make it the hub of the home. Enjoy sociable meals at the dining table, making plans for tomorrow, or dine alfresco with a BBQ in the garden. Get comfortable on the sofa in the lounge and watch a good film on the Smart TV, or steal a moment away from it all in the cosy snug and catch up with your favourite book. A Smart TV and board games in here also make it a perfect hideaway for kids and teenagers. A handy utility room and WC completes the ground floor, while four bedrooms, each with their own unique style, await upstairs. Gaze out at rolling countryside from the two king-size rooms; one has an en-suite shower room to avoid the morning queues. Two twin bedrooms overlook the garden, so wherever you sleep, you’re sure to get a great night’s rest. There’s also a bathroom with shower over the bath.

Head off to Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm (3.5 miles) for a guided tour around the orchard and production facility – children will love meeting the farm animals, while the grown-ups might prefer a sample of the drinks! Take a ride through beautiful Cornish countryside on the Lappa Valley Steam Railway (8 miles) or have a go at panning for gold at Cornwall Gold (10 miles) and much more on the 18-acre site.
