High on the clifftop above vibrant Watergate Bay, this contemporary self-catering property offers families and couples a front-row seat to the North Cornwall coast – with sweeping sea views and the adrenalin of Atlantic surf on the doorstep. The beat of your heart in the surf, the taste of fried fish and juicy burgers, the sea salt on your skin – it's all part and parcel of Watergate Bay, the adrenalin junkie's paradise which embodies the spirit of the North Cornwall coast.
Reverse-style accommodation places the open plan living area on the first floor to make the most of the view over the bay and out to sea. A barrel rolled ceiling, virtual flame fireplace, Bose Bluetooth speaker and 47-inch HD television with Sky+ Entertainment create a comfortable space for unwinding, while full-width sliding glass doors open onto a generous deck with table, chairs and sun loungers. The fully equipped kitchen includes a Krups Nespresso coffee machine. The master bedroom features a zip and link bed configurable as twin or super king, a 32-inch television and doors to a patio, with an en-suite bathroom comprising a freestanding double-ended bath, shower enclosure and heated towel rail. A second bedroom offers a zip and link bed – twin or king size – plus a single pull-out truckle bed, its own en-suite shower room and patio access. Air conditioning keeps every bedroom cool on summer nights, and underfloor heating runs throughout. A travel cot and high chair are available. Ecologically sustainable features such as sedum roofs, air source heat pumps and brise soleil keep the property comfortable and environmentally sound. Outside, a store room with wetsuit rack and surf shower is ready for beach days, and there is designated parking for one car with two electric vehicle charge points in the car park.
Watergate Bay's two miles of sand are popular with families, couples and dogs alongside surfers and thrill seekers. Plunge into watersports lessons with Wavehunters where you can try your hand at surfing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and kite surfing – the beach is exposed to incoming Atlantic swell, making it an excellent spot for all of them. Stride out on a long ramble or short jaunt along the coast path with walks to Newquay's seven bays or Mawgan Porth. Scarlet sunsets set the sky alight as you dine in the swanky beachfront eateries or sip a warming hot chocolate on the sand. Music festivals and surf competitions run throughout the year, the lively atmosphere as constant as the tides.
