    “The location of the property was great as we love MawganPorth & have visited for many years, however we feel the settee & chairs are in desperate need of updating as they were not the cleanest & not comfortable for relaxing in after a busy day on the beach We know from previous reviews other people had said the beds were uncomfortable which we would totally agree with too.”

    We appreciate it’s the end of the season & The Shack maybe in need of a deep clean as there were spiders webs in the corner of the living room , The bathroom suite appeared to be new The broadband was very slow, but again sometimes in MP it’s had to get a signal For us with a young dog, the garden proved to not be that safe if she was off lead as we were concerned re the drop into the bushes down into the hillside. however we do appreciate the owner does not advertise the garden ...

    I’m sorry you didn’t find the furniture comfortable. Your dog obviously loved the beds judging by the amount of dog hair on the bedding that my cleaner reported to me after you left. We do ask that dogs are kept under control and are not allowed on the beds. As for the garden, in over 40 years of ownership the only things to my knowledge that have been lost on the hillside are balls and frisbees. The property is thoroughly cleaned after every guest and I’m sorry if some spiderwebs were missed. The pesky spiders are very busy creatures, especially in September, but I will pass your comments on to the cleaning team. I know it is annoying that the broadband is slower than in other parts of the country. Hopefully the idyllic location of the property overlooking the valley at Mawgan Porth made up for the inconvenience and it didn’t impact too much on your holiday. Property Owner

The property

Newquay 5.5 miles. This detached Newquay holiday home is in a secluded position on the hill overlooking Mawgan Porth Beach, a mile from the long stretch of sandy beach at Watergate Bay north of Newquay.

Reached via a long, private driveway off the road, and with spectacular, uninterrupted countryside views from the garden, this Mawgan Porth bungalow is the ideal place to unwind.

Offering comfortable family accommodation with patio doors opening to the secluded private front garden, the safe, sandy beach is just a 5 minute walk from this Newquay holiday home with its range of shops and cafes.

Much of the coastline to the north of Mawgan Porth is owned by the National Trust and there are a host of pretty coves and rocky outcrops to discover on foot from the coast path.

For families, the popular beaches of Booby's Bay, Constantine Bay and Mother Ivey's Bay are all within a 15 minute drive along narrow lanes.

The attractive village of St Mawgan is two miles up the vale from the beach and has a traditional village inn and a 13th century church with one of the finest collections of monumental brasses in the country.

Further afield, the busy resort of Newquay offers many attractions including its aquarium, zoo, Trenance Gardens and plenty of shops, bars and bistros, while the Eden Project is only 14 miles away.

A lovely Newquay holiday home close to one of the most spectacular stretches of Cornish coastline.

About the location

NEWQUAY

Holywell 6 miles; Perranporth 8.5 miles; Truro 14 miles; Padstow 14 miles.

Newquay is the home of the UK’s surf scene, boasting three major beaches, the National Surf Centre and an endless supply of rolling surf, making it a watersports paradise. The town, with its zoo, sea life centre and varied selection of restaurants and pubs, also promises a holiday to remember. For avid walkers, the South West Coast Path passes in both directions along a stunning coastline of high cliffs, hidden coves and yet more beaches. The quaint harbour and fishing village of Padstow is just 14 miles away, while Truro, with its museums, cathedral, restaurants and cobbled streets, as well as the Eden Project, can be reached within 30 minutes. Picturesque St Ives and the Tate St Ives gallery is under an hour's drive or a train ride away. In fact, because nothing in Cornwall is far from Newquay, it’s the perfect touring base.
