Beach lovers can spend a lazy afternoon on the golden sands of Mawgan Porth (1.5 miles), while surfers will be drawn to the lively waves and laid-back vibe of Newquay (7 miles). Watergate Bay (3.5 miles) is another favourite with families, offering plenty of space and a variety of watersports. If you’re in the mood for rock pooling, head to the wide sands of Harlyn Bay (6 miles). Or, for something a little different, meet the rays and sharks at the Blue Reef Aquarium (9 miles). However you spend your day, evenings are made for unwinding in the private hot tub as the sun sinks into the sea.

From the parking area (space for two cars), head into this stunning upside-down home, cleverly designed to make the most of its sweeping sea views. A feature balustrade leads to the first floor, where a light-filled open-plan living, kitchen and dining space awaits. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors frame the ever-changing ocean views, best enjoyed from the comfort of the plush sofa.
