Couples Seaside Lodge

Brand new in 2026, this excellent lodge is a romantic retreat for two people seeking a convenient base for relaxing on the beach, surfing adventures or visits to some of Cornwall's finest destinations. Surrounded by trees, it's in a complex of high-quality holiday lodges just 0.5 miles from the coastal village of Porthtowan, where the spectacular beach is the main draw. Excellent waves make this a mecca for surfers, and there are several surf schools based here for hiring equipment and booking lessons. The village is also home to a small selection of pubs, beach cafes and takeaways, while chic St Agnes (3 miles) has a wider choice of places to eat. For fabulous views, walk the coast path to Chapel Porth Beach (2 miles), or explore the beaches at Perranporth and Portreath, both within 7 miles. For a day of shopping, Truro is just 9.5 miles away.

Take the steps at the front to the raised deck and head into the main living space, an impressive, open-plan area that has been thoughtfully furnished for a luxurious stay. Soft seating is placed to make the most of the wood burner, which can be just as welcome after a beach day as it is in cooler weather. If you're spending an evening in, the well-designed kitchen stands ready for quick snacks or gourmet experiments, with a dishwasher to help with the cleaning up. Set up a romantic supper at the table, and relax with a must-see box set on the Smart TV before heading off for a dreamy night's sleep. The super-king-size bedroom is just as stylish as the rest of the lodge, and uses an elegant bathroom which features both a bath and a rainfall shower.

Opening out via glazed doors from the living area, the main deck has a glass canopy which enables you to enjoy the fresh air in any weather, either dining alfresco or making the most of the private hot tub. To the side, there's a heated outdoor shower and a useful storage cupboard for bulky beach gear. Steps lead down to the lawned garden, where you'll find a charcoal BBQ. This fabulous property also provides parking for one car.
