ABOUT US

Beach Retreats specialise in self-catering holidays within walking distance of a good beach across Cornwall.  Beautifully designed and meticulously finished interiors, all in the right locations within easy reach of an amazing array of places to eat, drink, play, relax and shop.

OUR STORY

Beach Retreats’ parent is Watergate Bay Hotel, the multi-award-winning hotel which has set the standard for lifestyle hospitality based around active relaxation set on Cornwall’s finest surf beach. More than half a century since the Ashworths bought Watergate Bay, the group founded Beach Retreats, returning to its self-catering roots after hotel guests asked the owners to look after their local holiday lets.

Beach Retreats has grown from a local agency serving the bay and neighbouring villages of Porth and Mawgan Porth, to a Cornwall-wide agency with its sights set on expanding to coastlines further afield.
