    The perfect peaceful retreat for a family with small children, for a dog owners, or for a couple who still love a traditional British holiday.

    The perfect peaceful retreat for a family with small children, for a dog owners, or for a couple who still love a traditional British holiday. The Shack is perfectly situated to access the local amenities in Mawgan Porth, with the local pub, shop, restaurant and beach within 400m. It sits in a very private location, so you do not feel overlooked and has a very generous garden space, to keep even the most energetic pup (or children) entertained and has plenty of space to park a couple of cars. If you are looking for pristine, IKEA , all singing mod-cons accommodation, it's not for you. But if you value character and a warm friendly ambience, somewhere that brings back memories of your own childhood holidays and that will soon feel like a home from home, it will tick all the boxes. The Shack has been lived in and loved and it shows and staying there is all the more relaxing and welcoming for it. We visited the Shack in April 2026 and were fortunate to e blessed with very favorable weather. The sign of a good holiday is when you are reluctant to go home and look forward to a return stay... another box ticked there.

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.
