Savour a romantic dinner for two at the table, or, on balmy summer nights, dine al fresco to soak in the breathtaking scenery. Why not rustle up a cooked breakfast on the hot plate and enjoy sunshine nibbles on the raised deck or garden beside?

The barbecue is at hand and the wood-fired hot tub is ready and waiting for a bubble filled dip, whatever the weather. The sunsets are truly magnificent, watch with a refreshing drink from the hot tub.

Back inside, the woodburning stove will keep you toasty in the cooler months, and the smart shower room will set you up for the day’s adventures. A short drive will deliver a beautiful coastline with beaches galore.

Visit The North Cliffs with far-reaching views from Hell’s Mouth to Godrevy Lighthouse, with bird wildlife and caves below. See the seals from atop the cliffs on Godrevy Beach.

Head East to Portreath, a small port with a wide beach with soft sand and great waters for swimming and surfing, beach cafes for refreshment after a spot of rock pooling, and the South West coast path for rambles. Join the surf school at Porthtowan, scenic with imposing cliffs.
