Overview

Perfectly positioned as an ideal coastal destination, the dune-lined Holywell Bay poises on a slice of the iconic north coast of Cornwall where beautiful beaches and a surf-infused culture inspire complete relaxation.

Architecturally designed and bursting with features that lend luxury and light to the interior, this lovely home is set over two floors with a fresh and modern decor that compliments the surrounding beachscape. Exuding a sophisticated yet laid-back ease throughout, there are four fantastic bedrooms, three bathrooms (two of which are en suite) and a large open plan living / dining area meaning plenty of airy space for nine guests to languish in. Magnificent views reaching over the surrounding dunes and out to sea can be enjoyed from three of the bedrooms as well as from the living area, lending an 'away from it all' quality to the home; and glass doors flowing out on to a large balcony make it the perfect place for relaxing in the morning sunshine or for fresh air entertaining. Generously equipped with modern appliances and utensils, the kitchen makes whipping up anything from a cheffy three course meal to a Ploughman’s lunch a cinch, and the hours can then be whiled away immersed in conversation before heading to one of the gorgeous bedrooms for a deliciously deep night’s sleep.

Being so close to the beach and having its own garden means Beachcomber is pretty much perfect for guests who have their four-legged friends in tow, and there’s plenty to keep their owners busy too; with an 18 hole golf course and two pubs nearby as well as the South West Coastal path and the attractions of Newquay also being within easy reach.

Hidden gem
5/5

Prompt response on booking. Clear information on check-in process. Fantastic property which was very well equipped. Ideal location with direct access to beach , dunes and coastal path. Lovely old pub 5 minutes walk.

Coastal Spectacular!
5/5

Spent a memorable break at this wonderful house within a few yards of the beach at Holywell Bay. From the upstairs, open plan sitting room you can see a wide panorama out to sea and along the coast. We walked along the beach and the cliffs spotting diving gannets, a family of seals and busy turnstones. Out of season, the scenery is rugged and spectacular with the house ideally located for a refreshing break to recharge the batteries. Cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Relaxing beach break
5/5

It was lovely to be back at Beachcomber. Love all the new furniture and I’m sure that the new outdoor shower will be a welcome addition for all the beach fans. House was as fresh and clean as I remembered. Will definitely be back soon!

Guest, 03 Dec 2023

Hi Helen, thank you so much for your review and for being such a loyal guest. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes, the Luxury Coastal team

Another Fabulous Stay
4.7/5

A beautiful house that is perfect for a beach holiday. Amazing sea views. New beds which were firmer and comfortable. Everything was cleaned to a good standard on arrival. My only recommendation for improvement would be to update the outside patio furniture. Very old and rusty in places. On a sunny day the outside balcony is the focal point of this beautiful home.

Zoe, 23 Sep 2023

Hi Zoe, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your recent stay with us. It is so wonderful to hear it was yet another fabulous stay! New outdoor furniture has been ordered, we do apologise it wasn't here in time for your stay. We do hope to welcome you to stay with us again! Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

4.5/5

Lovely house in a stunning situation. Would have appreciated some milk,coffee pods and dishwasher tablets for our first day. Bottle of wine and beer very welcome.

Hi Margaret, Thank you for taking the time to lave a review. We are so pleased to hear the house and location are both lovely. We will pass all your feedback onto the owners an we do hope to welcome you to stay with us again in the future. Best Wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Very nearly perfect!
4.5/5

Beachcomber was everything the family had hoped for. A fabulous location, very well presented, and well laid out for a family holiday. You could spend the whole week without even needing to put shoes on if you want! There were a few minor niggles: the drainage of the showers and basins was slow and the chap who was sent round tried his best but it didn't really improve. Also, the terrestrial TV channels don't work. I reported this on day 2 and I didn't receive any response. OK we didn't want to watch much TV but it would have been nice to have the option. But overall we loved Beachcomber and would love to go back again.

Matthew, 26 Aug 2023

Hi Matthew, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at Beachcomber. We are delighted to hear that you and your family had such a fabulous stay. Who needs shoes when you are located right on the beach? As discussed over email, we really appreciate your cooperation in having the maintenance person attend to the shower drainage whilst you were on holiday and we apologise that this was not completely fixed during your stay. It is now running smoothly and we are monitoring it carefully to make sure that the problem has been completely solved. The TV was only recently upgraded, so we were surprised to hear this was not allowing you to watch terrestrial channels. We are sorry this was not resolved for you and it is now being inspected by the installer asap. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back again. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Emma - The Luxury Coastal Team - 26 Aug 2023

Tired
4/5

Lovely house in an amazing area. Needs investment for fixtures, fittings and paintwork. It comes across as a little tired for the price being charged, and the big fat spiders need moving from the velux windows.

Kathryn, 15 Aug 2023

Hi Kathryn, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at Beachcomber. We value all guest feedback and work with our owners to make any necessary improvements, Beachcomber is closed from taking bookings for 4 months over the winter period as undergoing significant changes/upgrades to maintain high standards for future guests. I can confirm we have advised the housekeeping team of the spiders in the windows in order for them to be removed for the next guests. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards, The Luxury Coastal Team

Emma - The Luxury Coastal Team - 15 Aug 2023

Great location for a beach holiday
3.8/5

lovely house in a great location. On arrival could have been cleaner. Dust and fluff visible in corners. Patio door onto the balcony was stiff and hard to lock (needs servicing). Minor issues in what was a lovely well equipped house, with fantastic views in a brilliant location .

Stephen, 22 Jul 2023

Hi Stephen, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are pleased to hear that you had a nice time. Thank you too for your feedback, we strive to ensure that all properties are cleaned to a very high standard, we apologise that this was not the case and we have alerted the housekeeping team. The owners have advised that they will arrange for the servicing of the doors as soon as possible. We hope to welcome you back one day. Best wishes, the Luxury Coastal team.

Mary - 22 Jul 2023

near perfect location and view - lovely spaceous house
4/5

things letting it down include patio doors that wont stay open in wind (dangerous), dated and pooly laid out kitchen, some cheap furniture, lack of personal touch in decor, could do with another shower room/toilet, non tendered garden /path to gate, rusty outside table, (could benefit from modernising to glass balustrade) and lack of outside shower (easy above tap) and hanging rail for wetsuits.

HARVEY, 16 Jul 2023

Hi Harvey, thank you for your feedback. I have passed on your comments so the garden, table, shower and wetsuit rail can be fixed for future guests. The owner has organised for the doors to be serviced to resolve any potential issues. There will also be an extra bathroom at this property in 2024 as bedroom two will be renovated to include an ensuite. Best Wishes, Luxury Coastal.

Fionnuala- Luxury Coastal - 16 Jul 2023

Pleasant stay at Beachcomber
5/5

Lovely spot to sit and relax on the terrace with wonderful views, very spacious and modern. 2 small complaints. The equipment provided in the kitchen cupboards was basic and the water from the shower in the family bathroom was inadequate.

Leanne, 08 Jul 2023

Hi Leanne, Thank you for leaving a review on your stay at Beachcomber. We are so pleased to hear you had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the wonderful views from the terrace! We can confirm the problem with the water pressure in the family bathroom has now been resolved thank you for bringing this to our attention.
