The house itself has everything you need and is a real home from home, very well equipt and has a lovely view of Watergate Bay. Clean and comfortable, dog friendly and the large field to the rear of the house is a huge plus. It was our second visit and I would definitely return.

Itâs very comfortable and well-equipped and situated in a quiet location in easy walking distance of Watergate Bay (12 minutes!) and a 5 minute drive to Mawgan Porth. The owners, Steve and Heather, couldnât be more helpful. From the useful welcome guide and information, to the super quick responses to messages - even arranging for a replacement cafetière to be delivered during our stay when the one in the kitchen was found to be broken! There was also a cream tea waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived :) This was our 2nd time staying at Bayview and we have already booked our 3rd trip :) Thanks very much Heather and Steve! Xx
