With a prime location right on Newquay's famous Tolcarne Beach, this bright, beautiful home is the ideal base for a family or group of friends looking for a seaside holiday in the UK. Your hosts have certainly made the perfect spot to relax in, with a light-filled living space benefitting from nautical decor and comfy, neutral furniture. But, while the house itself will soon have you feeling all warm and cosy inside, we suspect you'll be here for the beach, which is just a 300m stroll over the Tankerton slopes. From here – this charming, coastal village offers a tumble of cheery cafes, indie shops and gourmet restaurants to sink your teeth into. After exploring the beach, you’ll relish a soak in the spa-style tub, or for a magical end to the day, grab a glass of wine and head out to your private patio. Feel the calm ocean breeze wash right over you, as you dine alfresco or snuggle up in front of the fireplace for an evening in.
