Luxury Holiday Homes by the Beach in Cornwall
There’s something magical about waking up in a luxury holiday home by the beach in Cornwall.
A place where you can enjoy the sound of waves breaking on the shore and seagulls soaring overhead as a gentle breeze flows through the house and welcomes you to a sensational day on the coast.
Or step outside and take a few short steps to the beach to feel the sand between your toes and the reinvigorating coolness of the water as you paddle in the sea.
Then return to your luxury beach pad for a delicious breakfast and soak up the stunning coastal views while you relax in the comfort of your holiday home by the sea.
All this is waiting for you at these spectacular beachside holiday homes on the North Cornwall coast.
3 Pilot Cottages, Hawkers Cove
With a stunning position overlooking the Camel Estuary, this luxury holiday home provides direct access to the sensational sandy beach at Hawkers Cove. It’s only a short walk down the garden path and across the rocks to a small tidal cove or a little further to the vast expanse of Hawkers with sand all the way to Padstow at low tide. Originally built for the crews of pilot gig boats, this cottage has been carefully restored to maintain its original character while offering sleek modern living with a light, airy feel and a view to die for.
The Cellars, Harlyn
Perched above the golden sand of Harlyn Bay, this large, spacious holiday home is the ultimate beachside pad. With its secluded position on the westerly end of the beach, The Cellars is perfectly positioned for watching seagulls fly by and surfers catch waves to shore. It’s only yards down to a small, sandy cove that is often a suntrap protected from the prevailing winds. Inside, this centuries-old coastal gem has been modernised with beautiful living spaces, characterful bedrooms and outdoor areas that make the most of the fine sea views.

Apartment 4 Greenwaves, Trevone
