About this 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.

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.

    Cannot fault it! Facilities, owner, near to amenities but secluded, views, garden. Can walk to whatever you need. We will definitely return!

  • Tracy

    We loved all of the upgrades. The only issues we had were with the decking. If you would like to ask me for more detail please just give me a ring. Many thanks, Graham Robinson.
