September Retreats
19th August 2021
Warm waters, gentle swells, quiet beaches and rich sunsets… September in Cornwall embodies the best of all seasons. With the summer holidays having drawn to a close and kids back to school, the coast is significantly more peaceful than in former months, yet the autumn climate still allows for BBQs and sea swims galore. In fact, September is when the ocean often reaches its peak temperature, having been warmed by weeks of summer sun. Here’s our list of retreats available in September, inviting you to enjoy a post-summer stay within arm’s reach of the beach.
Watergate Lodge, Watergate Bay
20% off 7 night September stays.
Just 400 metres from Watergate Bay sits this unique eco house. A haven of natural light and energy, this retreat thrives off the environment, from its wildflower grass roof, innovative curved design and countryside surroundings. Watergate Lodge sleeps twelve and is available for a discounted stay in September.
4 Karn Havos, Bedruthan
20% off 7 night September stays.
4 Karn Havos is a coastal house situated in an area of clifftop near Bedruthan Steps known as a “Dark Sky Discovery Site”, where the lack of light pollution means you can spot shooting stars, constellations and planets. September in particular is a perfect time for this, with the climate still warm enough to allow for night-time stargazing out in the sea air.
11 The Liner, Falmouth
20% off 7 night September stays.
Situated moments from the sub-tropical gardens and glimmering water of Falmouth, 11 The Liner is the dream spot for a September retreat. Just footsteps from this seafront apartment you can delight in Gyllyngvase Beach during its quieter season. Falmouth is also an excellent choice for September due to its lively array of shops, cafes, and restaurants.
Crooklets House, Bude
20% off 7 night September stays.

This Grade II listed Georgian Farmhouse sits in 1.5 acres of private land, tucked inside Trevornick Holiday Park. You will have use of the holiday park facilities just next door, including a bar and eateries, swimming pool, golf course, fishing ponds, BMX track and a forest trail- all of which will be significantly quieter than over the summer months. Not to mention, the retreat itself has its own enviable features such as a sunken hot tub, separate outdoor kitchen with a BBQ and wildflower gardens.
12 Cannery Row, Hayle
Available 17 – 23 September
Live to the rhythm of #Hayle estuary at 12 Cannery Row, a waterfront townhouse beside the ebb and flow of the river. Here, you will be so close to the port that you can watch the fisherman going out to sea, and sample the fresh lobster that they bring back in. This retreat sleeps six with a private tidal mooring adjacent to it, perfect for those wanting to kayak, paddleboard or have a small boat (prior consent from the Harbour Master required).
Seven Gates, Widemouth Bay
If you’re seeking the peace and quiet which September offers, Seven Gates is a retreat which won’t fail to provide. Situated in luscious green countryside on the rugged coast of Widemouth Bay, the surroundings are as calming as the beach house style interiors. This retreat sleeps eight and is available for the second half of September.
Chy Lowen, Mousehole
Tucked away in one of Mousehole’s winding lanes is Chy Lowen, a cosy cottage with beach chic décor and a garden bursting with leafy plants and colourful flowers. In summer, this sleepy village is a tourist hotspot, but beyond the peak season it regains its reputation as a serene harbourside town. Six can settle in here for the last week of September.
4 Ocean Walk, Perranporth
This contemporary retreat is part of a new development just a few minutes’ walk from the dramatic seafront of Perranporth. A colourful town known for its selection of boutique shops and eateries and its vast expanse of sand lined with golden dunes, Perranporth is the perfect town for a September visit. You may even get to see some live music during your stay, regularly hosted at the famous Watering Hole, a venue directly on the sand.
