Perranporth, Cornwall
From £329 p/w
Just over 1 km (approximately 15 minutes and almost traffic-free) along a quiet lane that winds through the countryside to the sand dunes at Perranporth.
The gorgeous rural setting, with rolling hills, peaceful seclusion and period character - all within a fifteen minute walk of Perranporth's three mile stretch of sand.
White Horses is situated in a picturesque rural area just a few minutes walk from Perranporth village.
Perranporth is unique in landscape and atmosphere, inviting families, walkers, and adventurers of all ages to explore its terrain. Its wild cliffs and countryside inspired Winston Graham to write the Poldark novels, and it's easy to see why.
Hike atop vast hills, seek out secret caves or paddle on the shoreline, feeling the soft embrace of the sand. At low tide, wild swim in Perranporth's natural open air pool, its waters reaching Mediterranean temperatures in the summer months. At sunset, sip a glass of Chardonnay at The Watering Hole, the UK's only restaurant and bar on a beach, which hosts live music, comedy and beach activities all year round.
From colourful streets dotted with alternative boutiques to a golf club on the green cliff tops, it is easy to while away hour after happy hour in this bubbly coastal town. Yet its central position on the North Cornwall coast makes Perranporth the perfect base for heading further afield, too. A short drive will take you to the surfer's paradise of Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay. Or, head south for the heritage coastline and unspoiled bays of St Agnes.
"The white horses was a perfect holiday for us, Quiet and off the beaten track but close enough to the town to enjoy its delights.
Particularly like getting greeted each morning by horses popping the heads Over the wall to say hello From the Riding school next door.
Met the owners, Gordon and his wife. They were very nice and good to talk to, Very welcoming.
Particular Enjoyed, The little things.. Gordon had left us scones and classic cream as a treat. Really unexpected and very much appreciated.
Would Highly recommend white horses for a stay If you are Considering staying in Cornwall "
