Horseshoe Cottage

Horseshoe Cottage is a single-storey one-bedroom property on Lewannick Farm near Holywell Bay, sleeping two guests with one bathroom. The enclosed garden includes a private garden room for outdoor use in variable weather - a useful feature on the north Cornwall coast, where conditions can change quickly. Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher, and a washing machine are all included. No pets.

Three beaches are within walking distance of the cottage. Porth Joke beach is 1.3km away - a National Trust cove with no car access, which keeps visitor numbers low in comparison to nearby alternatives. Holywell Bay is 1.4km and offers a wide beach backed by sand dunes and caves at the cliff base. Vugga Cove is 1.7km. Having three options within 1.7km is a practical advantage for guests wanting variety across a week's stay. The farm setting means the immediate surroundings are rural and quiet, though Newquay's restaurants and shops are accessible by car for evenings out.

This cottage is good for couples seeking a quiet coastal base with beach access and outdoor space. It suits those who enjoy walking between beaches rather than driving. Not great for families with children who need multiple bedrooms, or for anyone bringing a dog. The single-storey layout also makes it accessible for guests who prefer to avoid stairs. Prices from £541 per week, Saturday changeover.
