About this property
Nestled along the stunning North Cornwall coastline, Mawgan Porth is perfectly situated between the popular towns of Padstow (9 miles) and Newquay (5 miles). This serene surf and foodie haven offers a quieter alternative to larger seafront destinations. Surrounded by picturesque beaches like Porthcothan, Treyarnon, Watergate, Harlyn, Constantine, and family favourite Porth, all within 7 miles, there's no shortage of seaside adventures nearby. Yet, with boutique shops, inviting restaurants, and a friendly pub lining the beach road, Mawgan Porth itself is a captivating destination that caters well to both dogs and children. When you are ready to venture further, why not explore Padstow's narrow streets (8 miles), savouring fresh seafood in renowned eateries with well-known chefs, or try the camel trail and cycle along this stunning bike path that runs along the Estuary. The amazing Eden Project is only 17 miles away and offers a great family day out.
As you enter this wonderful three storey property in this delightful converted barn complex, you will find two of the bedrooms, a family bathroom and the handy cloakroom that also boasts a day bed which can be used with your own bed linen. Head upstairs to enjoy the wonderfully sociable open plan lounge/kitchen/ diner where you can entertain and cook up a storm, or simply relax on the comfy sofas in front of your favourite film after a day out exploring the coastline. There is also another handy shower room on this floor. Ascend to the third floor to find yet another stunning lounge area and a wonderful bedroom with a 6' super king-size bed.
Outside, you will find a great sun trap garden with Astro turf to enjoy all year round, as well as seating and a decked area on the first floor, that can be accessed via patio doors from the lounge.

We had a lovely stay in Sandseekers Barn which is in a brilliant location very close to the coastal path to Bedruthan Steps and a pleasant (albeit steep) walk to the beach at Mawgan Porth. The area is stunning, we didn't want to leave and neither did the dog who enjoyed daily walks on the beach and coastal path. There's a great shop in Mawgan Porth, a couple of cafes and pub/ hotel which more than suited our needs. We didn't venture far the whole week which was just what we wanted although Newquay, Padstow and Wadebridge are not far at all. The barn is set over 3 floors and was really warm, comfortable and well equipped. Everything is modern and tastefully decorated; the beds and bedding were incredibly comfortable and showers fantastic and powerful. Having two seating areas is a real bonus for a multigenerational stay and good wi-fi was much appreciated! The garden was useful for the dog only and could do with a bit of brightening up if it were to be an area to sit outside in. A few personal touches like cushions, welcome pack and local information were missing but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Thank you so much, we loved Sandseekers Barn.

What a fabulous stay in this beautiful, peaceful barn. Everything provided was of the very best quality and it really felt like home. We loved it and will be back again. The swallows were an added bonus as we watched them learning to fly outside the bedroom window!
