Property code: OC-B659846

This contemporary coastal property occupies an elevated position overlooking Holywell Bay on Cornwall's north coast, with views stretching across sand dunes, the sea, and a neighbouring golf course. Suited to families and groups of friends, it provides a spacious base for active surf breaks and relaxed beach holidays. Holywell Bay Beach is a broad, sandy stretch popular with surfers and bodyboarders, backed by rolling dunes – some reaching 60 feet in height – that reward exploration. At low tide, the remains of an old Argentinian coaster can be spotted just offshore, while Holywell Cave and its striking calcium deposits make for a fascinating detour. The coastal path leads north to Crantock Beach, and a local surf school is close at hand for those keen to get on the water. As the day winds down, the dunes provide a fine vantage point for watching the sun set over the sea.

This split-level property places all four bedrooms on the ground floor, with the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space on the first floor – a reverse layout designed to make the most of the elevated coastal views. Sliding doors from the living area open onto a glass-fronted balcony, where the panorama of sea, dunes, and golf course stretches out ahead. The living space features a large corner sofa, an electric fire, and a Smart TV with soundbar, while the dining area seats eight around an oak table. A breakfast bar with four stools sits beside the well-equipped kitchen. A separate shower room with walk-in shower and WC is also on this level, alongside a utility room. On the ground floor, bedroom one has a king-size bed with sea views and a door leading out to the terrace. Bedroom two also enjoys sea views and has a king-size bed with an en-suite shower room featuring a walk-in rainfall shower and WC. Bedrooms three and four each have king-size zip-and-link beds that can be configured as twins. The ground-floor family bathroom has a bath, shower over the bath, a separate walk-in rainfall shower, and a WC.

The first-floor balcony has chairs and a coffee table, with views stretching across the sea, dunes, and golf course. On the ground level, a sun terrace with a table and chairs for eight is set up for al fresco dining. The enclosed garden has a gate for added privacy, and a hot outdoor shower is on hand for rinsing off after the beach. Three private parking spaces are available at the front of the property.

The perfect place for a Holywell Bay holiday ~ What a wonderful place to stay. We were so impressed by how spacious and spotlessly clean the accommodation was, and it was so well-stocked with thoughtful touches. The location near the beach is perfect, there was a great kitchen / living space for our family to be together and with wonderful views tRead moreo look out over. We hope to return with our family again soon. Hide
