    “A lovely holiday home with probably the best sea views we’ve had in any place we’ve stayed in the uk.”

    The upside down house has the perfect position in a complex of around 30 properties. Parking for one car is in a dedicated private park with your own numbered spot 100 metres from the property. The property had everything you needed, lots of seating, great outside space and outside seating to enjoy the view.

    The upside down house has the perfect position in a complex of around 30 properties. Parking for one car is in a dedicated private park with your own numbered spot 100 metres from the property. The property had everything you needed, lots of seating, great outside space and outside seating to enjoy the view. The property was warm and cosy and all the fittings, utensils and furniture was high quality. The only recommendation to improve even further was that the windows desperately needed a clean (I did clean the downstairs windows) as the view is the highlight and you couldn’t see out. A great property that fully deserves 10/10 and that I would highly recommend. Thank you.

    - Andy, October 2025

    We are very glad you enjoyed your stay at Island View. Thank you for the feedback on the windows. We do have a regular window cleaner but the seagulls and the weather do make it difficult! We will follow up with the housekeeper and window cleaner to see what we can do to keep them cleaner. Many thanks. Property Owner

The property

6 The Watermark is a semi-detached, coastal holiday home arranged in an 'upside down' design to make the most of the spectacular views, in the small seaside village of Porth.

Ideal for couples or families, you enter the house on the first floor into the spacious, open-plan living space with a lounge, dining, and kitchen areas.

French doors open onto a decked balcony with glass screens taking full advantage of the amazing view across Porth Island towards Watergate Bay and beyond.

On the ground floor are the two bedrooms both of which have patio doors opening onto the rear decked area and private garden, perfect for an early morning cup of tea watching the waves.

The master bedroom has a king size bed, fitted wardrobes, and its own en-suite bath/shower, basin and wc.

The family bedroom has a double bed and a single bed, again with an en-suite bath/shower, basin and wc.

6 The Watermark is superbly located for families, watersports lovers and walking enthusiasts alike, this spacious holiday home has possibly the best views in the area, with an enviable position overlooking Porth Island. It lies in a small development within the Glendorgal Estate, with a direct private path to the beach.

A short scenic walk along the coastal path takes you to Porth with its wonderful family beach, a pub directly on the beach selling traditional bar meals, as well as a shop, tearoom, café and ice cream shop.Further along the South-West Coastal path to the north is Watergate Bay, famous for a variety of water sports and a selection of restaurants within the Watergate Bay hotel complex.

Virtually on our doorstep in the other direction is privately owned Lusty Glaze Beach, a beautiful beach with surf school, excellent bar, pizzas and restaurant.

An enjoyable walk further along the coast will take you into Newquay town which has a range of visitor attractions and unrivalled beaches, and an active fishing harbour.

The choice of pubs, restaurants and takeaways in Newquay is guaranteed to suit all tastes.

The city of Truro, and “Rick Stein’s” Padstow are within an easy drive, as well as the award-winning Eden Project and the many famous gardens of Cornwall.

Local restaurants offer Cornish wines, produce and fresh seafood.

This is a great place for holidays or a getaway in all seasons.

About the location

PORTH

Newquay 1.3 miles; Truro 15 miles.

Porth is a small seaside village on the outskirts of Newquay. The village offers a shop, cafes, restaurants and a pub on the sandy beach, plus nearby is the South West Coast Path, which boasts spectacular scenery. Watergate Bay, with its rolling waves, surf schools, cafe and pubs, is a short walk away, and the popular resort of Newquay with its beaches, watersports, pubs, restaurants, zoo and aquarium is well worth a visit. Fistral Beach and surf centre are three miles west of Porth, whilst the surf training school at Lusty Glaze Beach is actually within the village. The charming fishing village of Padstow, along with Bodmin Moor, the city of Truro, Falmouth and the world-famous Eden Project are all within easy reach, making Porth an ideal base for a Cornish getaway.
