This three-bedroom eco retreat sits directly on Widemouth Bay's shoreline in Cornwall's northern corner, offering families and groups of up to six a rare chance to enjoy contemporary coastal living with a beach as their back garden. Widemouth Bay is a long, unspoilt stretch of sandy beach and craggy cliffs, all about a sense of space, big skies and an endless horizon. With lifeguard cover throughout the summer season, it is a great spot for beginners and seasoned surfers alike.
