Location
Where is it?
8 The Beach House is an interior designed two bedroomed, first floor apartment just 10 metres from the sand of Porth beach.
Situated between Newquay and Watergate Bay on the rugged North Cornwall coast, Porth is a large, west-facing sandy beach, sheltered by headlands on either side and with a cafe, restaurant and pub right next to the beach. The sheltered bay and large tidal range at Porth Beach makes for two different holidays everyday. Safe and well protected swimming and watersports when the tide is in turns into rockpool and cave exploring heaven when the tide is out.
When children draw a seaside scene, they draw Porth. Streams, rockpools and caves beg to be explored, whilst a sweep of beach provides ample terrain for sandcastle building and sand-fairy making. Families, adventurers and explorers of all ages will lose hour after happy hour here.
A narrow wooden footbridge leads to Porth Island, a headland full of history. Watch in awe at mid tide, particularly on windy days, as the blow hole shoots rainbow sprays of water. Embrace the theatre of Porth Island any time of day or all year round, just wrap up warm and bring a camera to capture dramatic sunrises and storms alike.
Back down on the beach, melted strawberry ice cream drips down sides of candy cones and sizzling tapas is served at Porth's beachside eateries. Once you've soaked up the Porth scene, try heading towards Newquay's bays, up the coast path to Watergate, or towards the rolling cliffs of Mawgan Porth. -

Guest Reviews
"My Holiday booked through Beach Retreats was excellent I had nothing bad to say. The accommodation was lovely and clean, it had everything we needed and more and was right next to the beach it was a lovely lovely place. Beach Retreats were very impressive. They did everything they said they were gong to do, the communication was excellent, their staff were well mannered and extremely helpful with any questions I had, I will definitely book through them again. Thank you to the owner of the place we stayed and and Thank you to Beach Retreats "
"This is our third year in #8 and it was just as lovely as our first time. The fact we keep returning is testament to the quality and value of the apartment. Also (in our opinion) one of the best locations in Cornwall. Fantastic for the dog (he loves it) and a great place to explore and enjoy all that Cornwall has to offer "
