Located in Newquay, Cornwall, this charming first-floor apartment, named Dolphins Leap, offers breathtaking sea views and convenient access to the South West Coast Path. Converted from a spacious detached house, it is one of four apartments set in an elevated position above the picturesque cove at Mawgan Porth. The property is ideally situated between Newquay and Padstow on the North Cornish Coast, making it a perfect base for exploring the dramatic coastal scenery. Just a short two-minute walk leads guests to a family-friendly beach with fine sand nestled between steep headlands, enhancing its appeal to beachgoers and nature lovers alike.
The village of Mawgan Porth, located only a five-minute stroll along the beach or a half-mile drive, features essential amenities including a pub, newsagent, and a small store. For those seeking a broader selection of shops and dining options, both Padstow, situated 8 miles away, and Newquay, 6 miles distant, are easily accessible via the scenic coastal road. Adventurous guests can enjoy stunning cliff walks along the coastal path to Watergate Bay and Bedruthan Steps, or explore the tranquil inland route through the Vale of Lanherne leading to St Mawgan. The nearby Scarlet Hotel adds to the experience with its luxurious day spa and restaurant, open to non-residents, alongside a hilltop golf course and driving range for golf enthusiasts.
Dolphins Leap features a private glass balustrade balcony, providing a splendid vantage point for enjoying the mesmerizing views of the sea and coastline, particularly during sunset. Families with young children should note that supervision is necessary on the balcony. Additionally, a communal grassy garden, bordered by a low stone wall, is located on the seaward side of the house, with a footpath that leads directly to the sandy beach and the coastal path. Garden furniture is provided for guests to relax and soak in the beautiful surroundings, making it an ideal spot for outdoor enjoyment.
The property includes a shared driveway with two allocated parking spaces for guests’ convenience. Although the apartment does not accommodate pets, it is suitable for a maximum of four guests plus one infant. However, it is important to note that a cot and highchair are not available on-site. For those considering a longer stay, a loyalty discount is offered, enhancing the value of this delightful seaside retreat.
