Hendra Croft Retreat

Escape to Cornwall’s coast with your family and combine fun-packed beach days with scenic coastal walks and laid-back attractions. You’re just a short drive from Newquay’s beaches (3.5 miles), with Perranporth’s golden sands attracting surfers from far and wide, and Towan Beach (6 miles) for paddling and ice cream in the sun. The Blue Reef Aquarium (6 miles) is right on Newquay seafront and is always a massive hit with kids, especially when the sharks and rays glide through the viewing tunnel. For a change of pace, enjoy feeding the ducks or hiring rowing boats at Trenance Gardens and Boating Lake (2.5 miles). Avid walkers will love taking on the South West Coast Path, which is highly regarded for its magnificent clifftop walks and hidden smugglers’ coves.

Admire the glorious views of Holywell Bay before stepping into the bright and breezy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. After sandy adventures at the beach, pour yourself a well-earned drink and settle onto the comfy sofa while the Smart TV streams a box set. There’s even an electric fire for chillier, cosy evenings. The modern kitchen has everything needed to make cooking a breeze. Whip up seafood suppers using local produce from your travels before settling around the dining table and breaking bread over evenings of laughter. The hallway leads to a twin bedroom, perfect for kids or friends, while an attractive double bedroom boasts an en-suite shower room and a Smart TV. The stylish family shower room completes the property.

Enjoy sunrises and sunsets over the bay while bubbling in your private hot tub with a sea view or put your feet up on the enclosed decking. The fantastic on-site facilities are a haven for parents looking to entertain little ones, with its communal indoor heated pool, an adventure playground and an arcade. There’s even a handy launderette so you can pack light and stay fresh, and a seasonal on-site restaurant. The property boasts two parking spaces.
