This large waterfront retreat sleeping ten sits in a prime position overlooking the River Gannel near Fistral Beach, offering families and groups a coastal escape with space to relax and room to explore. The ever-changing estuary views are the standout feature – watch paddleboarders drift by at high tide and horse riders trot along the sand when the tide is out. The turquoise tidal river, lined with rich greenery, runs down to family-friendly Crantock Beach.
Inside, a spacious ground-floor living room features a wood burner, a 43-inch Smart TV and seating for eight, with electric blinds revealing sweeping estuary views. A separate dining space seats eight around a large oak table, with patio doors opening onto a glass-fronted balcony stretching views down to Crantock Beach. The well-equipped kitchen includes a double oven, gas hob, microwave, full-size fridge freezer and coffee machine. On the lower ground floor, a lounge with a sofa bed and TV offers a quieter retreat, while a games room provides a pool table, table football, giant Connect 4 and a toddler section with a mini kitchen and toys. A utility room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer. Four bedrooms each have super-king-size zip-and-link beds and Smart TVs, three with en-suites. A family bathroom and cloakroom complete the layout. Outside, the glass-fronted balcony has outdoor seating with estuary views, and the spacious garden and patio include a 12-seater dining set and sun loungers. Private parking for four or more cars.
Enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding along the Gannel, or catch the small ferry across to Crantock's sandy shores at high tide in summer. Fistral Beach (under 1 mile) sits just around the headland – world famous for its surf – so grab a board and get amongst the swell. Across the cliff top path towards Little Fistral (1.5 miles on foot), sand and shingle spill between rock pools, perfect for carving out a quieter spot. Stroll past Newquay's Huer's Hut (1 mile on foot) at low tide and explore the town's beaches, or drive to Watergate Bay (5 miles) and Perranporth (9 miles) for rolling surf, eateries and quirky shops.
