Overview

With its bevy of beautiful beaches, stunning scenery, rugged coastline and laid-back way of life, it’s easy to see why so many of us love to escape to North Cornwall for our holidays. Wedged between Crantock and Perranporth, with a golden dune-backed sandy beach and panoramic Atlantic views on show, Holywell Bay epitomise all that makes this part of the world so special.
If you’re in search of the perfect place for your holiday here, Sandyford which lies just a short walk from the beach, is a dream come true. The house forms part of the exclusive The Rocks development – an award-winning collection of 10 luxury homes which settles just behind the dunes and mere metres from the shoreline. Tastefully styled and with ample room for both socialising and relaxation, the fittings, furnishings and entertainment features of this home are all top-notch.

On the ground floor you’ll find four beautiful bedrooms each with their own Smart TVs, while upstairs there’s a gorgeous open plan living space with sea views where you can cook, eat, unwind and spend time together. For those who love water sports, Holywell is ideal for swimming, body boarding and surfing, and beach-based Holywell Bay School of Surf offers lessons and equipment hire to visitors of all ages and abilities. If you prefer sunbathing there are many sheltered spots to choose from, while children will love paddling in the rock pools or shallow streams at low tide.

Lying half a kilometre offshore, the iconic Gull Rocks (which featured in BBC One’s Poldark) form a dramatic backdrop for your day on the sand and in the sea, and when the tide is out, you’ll discover natural caves, rivers and waterfalls to explore. Just six miles west of Holywell lie the famous surfing beaches of Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay along with all of Newquay’s other array attractions. Or venture east to Perranporth and soak of the atmosphere of this quintessentially vibrant beach resort.

5/5

Beautiful accommodation with spectacular views. A 10 min walk to the beach a bit of a treck with all the gear for the beach and all uphill on the way back so not ideal for those with mobility problems . A quick stop at the pub on the way back was a bonus. Quite location and 5 min walk to the local thatched cottage pub .they served excellent food and was great service. Beach amazing and accommodation beautiful ,plenty of parking for three cars .Would highly recommend this accommodation ideal location for exploring local area.

Great holiday in fabulous location!
5/5

Sandyford is an excellent holiday let, everything we could've asked for - spacious, clean, lovely views from the balcony, modern appliances and all of the essentials we needed. The tea bags and lemon cake left for us on arrival were a lovely touch and much appreciated after a long drive! Wish we could've stayed longer - thanks for a great holiday.

Great stay.
5/5

Really lovely property. Immaculately presented. Only 3 of us so lots of room, places to sit, etc. Bedrooms comfortable. Great kitchen with lots of the right stuff. View is amazing, though not 100% private, but a quiet enclave so avoids crowds. Wonderful Beach on doorstep. Really do need a car for days out. Small, adequate garden which we didn't use. Could do with a pesronal guide on using gadgets, heating, ovens etc. Very relaxing place.

Beautiful house in great location - fantastic autumn stay
5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandyford! The house was really comfortable and extremely spacious. The large windows really made the most of the views and filled the living room with light. Everything was in immaculate condition and spotless. Very comfortable furniture and high spec appliances - felt like a real treat to be staying in such a gorgeous house. Excellent location - easy walk to a couple of pubs and short walk to the beach. Also great spot from which to explore further afield. Thank you to the owners - we would highly recommend Sandyford!
