About this property
Tucked away in the quaint Cornish village of Cubert near the iconic coastal town of Newquay is Dune View. This delightful, dog-friendly, semi-detached bungalow benefits from an enclosed, rear garden, off-road parking for two cars, a fantastic location near the beach and two beautifully presented bedrooms, perfect for couples, friends or a small family looking to explore the coast with their beloved canine companion. Make your way inside to unwind in the sitting room where you can warm up in front of the gentle warmth of the electric fire while you browse the selection of films on the Smart TV. Later, head into the conservatory/dining room where you can tuck into the culinary creation that was prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen, or if the sun is shining, step outside to delight in an alfresco affair upon the patio or simply enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple as the sun sets over Cubert. When the sky darkens, wash off the day in the sleek shower room before sloping off to sleep in either the super-king-size (zip/link) or double bedroom. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic bolthole, spend sunny days upon the golden shores of Holywell Bay where your dog can roam freely while you admire the breath-taking views across the Atlantic and the kids splash around in the sea. Alternatively, spend a full day exploring the myriad of attractions in Newquay; amble through Blue Reef Aquarium to marvel at the sea life on display or traverse the famous Newquay Zoo before whiling away the rest of the day on the shores of one of the town’s many beaches. Thrill seekers or those looking for a little adventure will be in their element as you can rent kayaks and paddle boards to explore the open water or try cliff jumping with trained professionals and even coasteering! The South West coastal path also runs through the area and spans an impressive 630 miles providing endless opportunities to explore charming coastal towns and the attractions within. Make unforgettable memories at Dune View.
This picturesque settlement may be found inland, far from the hustle and bustle of the north Cornwall coast. In addition to its 14th-century church, the town of Cubert is home to a variety of great tourist establishments, including a grocery store/Post Office, a fish and chip shop, a gastropub, and a café. Some of Cornwall's most spectacular sights are within easy driving distance. Cubert is located on the coast between the stunning surfing paradise of Newquay and the picture-perfect seaside city of Perranporth; both are fantastic day-trip options thanks to the variety of attractions and activities available in each, as well as their unique personalities. Go inland to the magnificent city of Truro, which is home to a wide variety of top-notch entertainment options.

Definitely a home from home. Couldnât fault anything and our dog loved having a garden to sunbathe in. Unfortunately my husband fell out of bed during our last night there and consequently we were late packing however when the owners arrived to clean for the next occupants we werenât ready to leave but they were brilliant and understood our dilemma and helped us to pack the car with all of our belongings. I canât thank them enough for making the end of the holiday a wonderful memory.

The welcome pack including scones, clotted cream and jam was much appreciated after the long journey down. It was like a home from home with everything you could possibly need provided. I can also highly recommend the village chippy.
