Location
Where is it?
Egret View is an impressive detached house in an elevated position with everchanging views over the River Gannel. This is a dream retreat for adults and children alike, with beautiful interiors, scenic entertaining spaces and unique play features throughout.
The Gannel is a turquoise river lined with rich greenery which runs down to the much-loved Crantock beach. Enjoy crabbing, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding or simply sit beside the gentle river flow and watch an abundance of wildlife roam about. At low tide, take the walk along the river banks to Crantock's steep sand dunes and foaming seas, a perfect family friendly beach which calls out for days of adventure.
On the other side of the headland, just a few minutes walk away, sits Fistral Beach. World famous for its epic surf and spirit, Fistral invites you to dive headfirst into the action- just grab a board and get amongst the swell, before peeling some fire-pit flamed king prawns and sampling a cocktail at the iconic beachside restaurant complex.
Across the cliff top path towards Little Fistral and its surrounding coves, you'll discover a more leisurely feel. Sand and shingle spill out between barnacle-dotted pools, perfect for carving out a secret space which feels like it belongs only to you, away from the busy chatter of the main bay.
Fancy stretching your legs? Wait for low tide and take a stroll around the headland, past Newquay's historical Huer's Hut and across the town's seven beaches, rewarding yourself with an ice cream when you're done. Watergate Bay is just a 10-minute drive away with its rolling surf and eateries, or Perranporth and its quirky shops can also be reached by car.
