Immerse yourself in the salty sea air, have a soak in the hot tub and just marvel at the family-friendly decor at this coastal retreat in St Austell. This pretty cottage is perfect for a family of four and, with only 3 miles to this beach, provides endless entertainment for little (and big) children!

This comfortable and spacious property features a cosy lounge for those evenings in front of the open fire with board games or simply relaxing with a good book and a cup of tea. Amble through to the kitchen to whip up a tasty feast of freshly caught fish and homemade chips. Dine inside or carry your dinners out to the shared patio, where you’ll also find a BBQ. When the night draws to a close, have a well-earned soak in the luxurious bathroom on the first floor. The roll-top bath will have all your troubles melting away! Head to one of the two peaceful bedrooms, including a double room or a super-king zip-and-link. Spend your mornings taking advantage of the private hot tub, on-site spa facilities or indulging in a treatment (additional cost).

Build sandcastles, have a splash in the sea or fish for crabs in the hidden rock pools at Pentewan Beach, just 3 miles from the cottage. With its golden sands and sparkling waters, it’s the perfect day out. Adrenaline Quarry (24 miles) is a must-try for those seeking adventure, whilst calmer personalities may prefer the slower pace of the biomes at Eden Project (5 miles). Sample local fare at many restaurants, cafes and bars in the town of St Austell, or go further afield to Truro (15 miles) for more delicious dishes.
