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.

Most wonderful weekend away on the Cornish coast!

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay at Beachcomber in beautiful Holywell Bay! The house is spacious, light, well maintained and has all the amenities that you could wish for. The top floor with living room and kitchen has the most amazing view on the beach and sea. You feel like you are totally tucked away in nature. One of the best things is the proximity to the beach and the coastal path. The walks in the surrounding area are so lovely and the views are just stunning! We really enjoyed our surf at Holywell beach and played lots of games of tabel footbal. It really is such a special place and I would recommend staying here very much!

Our sixth stay in Beachcomber. We return every year if possible because of the wonderful location and superb accommodation. The house is always welcoming with all our needs catered for, so special thanks to the housekeeper and her team. Also appreciate the generous welcome pack.

Beachcomber is just steps from a wonderful sandy beach and it has the most spectacular views, especially at sunset as virtually every room looks north east, where the sun sets in summer. We didn't get in a car the whole week but spent our time surfing, swimming, rock pooling, digging sandcastles, damming the little river that runs onto the beach or walking along the cliffs - where we saw both seals and choughs!

The house is very well equipped, stylish and comfortable. It even has a hot outdoor shower so that sandy children can be cleaned up before they go indoors again.

This was our second trip and we'd love to return but our family is growing and, sadly, we may not fit in for much longer.

Beautiful home with all amenities you will need for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect for our big family, right on the beach, golf course in walking distance and several pubs.

We had a lovely stay at Beachcomber. The house is in a fantastic location, a couple of minutes walk to the sand dunes and beach, ideal for surfers and dog heaven! Wonderful sunsets from the balcony. House was spacious, clean and well equipped. Love the outdoor heated shower - ideal for cleaning sand from paws and feet! Will definitely be back!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Emma - The Luxury Coastal Team replied more than 1 year ago
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

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.

Emma - The Luxury Coastal Team replied more than 1 year ago
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

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 .

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.

Fionnuala- Luxury Coastal replied more than 1 year ago
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.

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.
