About this property

Boasting a prime location elevated high above the golden beach at Mawgan Porth, this welcoming family home enjoys glorious sea views and is just a 10-minute walk from the sand and surf. The perfect pad for those seeking a week of fresh sea air, Gwillen offers a fantastic seaside holiday with all the homely comforts you could wish for. Spacious throughout, this dormer bungalow has a fantastic sea-facing conservatory, a cosy sitting room with open fire, handy utility/boot area, smart kitchen diner with plenty of books and family board games, and four good-sized bedrooms: one of which is located under the eaves on the first floor and makes a snug den for young children. Outside is a well-kept tiered garden with a lawn and a patio, and outdoor furniture for dinner with a view! There's even an outdoor shower -perfect for rinsing away sandy feet; and a garage where bikes and surf boards can be safely stored. Do as much or as little as the mood takes you here: head down to the beach and learn a few tricks at the surf school, grab a bucket and see what you can find in the rock pools, discover stunning sea vistas with a walk along the coastal footpath, or simply relax with a Spa day at the Bedruthan Steps Hotel or adults-only Scarlet Hotel. A short drive away are some great family days out, including Newquay Zoo, Waterworld, St Eval Kart Circuit and the Blue Reef Aquarium; and the area has also become something of a foodie Mecca, with restaurants owned by Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth in the popular harbour town of Padstow, and Wax Watergate Bay restaurant overlooking the waves at Watergate Bay. Whatever time of year you choose to visit, there is something for everyone here.

Mawgan Porth boasts golden sands set against the dramatic landscape of cliffs and caves, topped with the coastal footpath with spectacular views over the north Cornish shoreline. Get set with nets and buckets to explore rock pools or hire a board and join the surf school for some wet fun, with lifeguards on patrol during the main season. For those that seek a more leisurely escape, enjoy the Spa facilities at The Scarlet Hotel and The Bedruthan Hotel. After any activity, there is refreshment to be had at the beach cafe and restaurant.

    . The sofas were uncomfortable and needed refreshing. One of the kitchen chairs had a split where a leg was starting to show. Bedroom 1 had a broken door handle which was lying on the floor in the hallway. I had one issue which I rang and left a voicemail to on the Saturday evening. I had no response!! The issue was a mouse which ran across the living room!! I didn’t pursue this as we had a dog with us which made addressing the problem difficult. But, why leave a number to contact if a response isn’t forthcoming. The house provided everything I hoped for regarding location and view. I would recommend as issues were minor but I feel caretaker should have returned my call!!

    We absolutely love the views and the area. I understand some renovation work is due to be completed shortly and suggest that the sofas need an overhaul as they are getting a little uncomfortable.

    Great location, there are a couple things that as landlord ought to be addressed: Shower controls Blinds in conservatory Dining room plastic chairs Would’ve been nice to have bigger mirrors Also the manual is out of date as to restaurants/ pubs etc and would be nice for holiday makers to have accurate listings Otherwise we loved the location and our time in Cornwall Thank you
