About this property

Luxury spacious sea front house with indoor swimming pool

Cliff House, Vrbo's Holiday Home of the Year 2022, offers guests a luxurious, spacious and private living environment in which to enjoy cherished holidays, or to make lasting memories celebrating those important special occasions with close family and friends.

The house is completely private and offered to guests on a self-check in, self-catering basis. It is set in 1-acre of grounds with access and ample parking for 5-6 cars, all behind secure electronic gates. Guests can enjoy direct access to the beach below, via a stepped walkway through the gardens. The location offers complete freedom to relax without worry of disturbance or being overlooked.

Cliff House is a grand property, occupying more than 4,500 square feet of space over two floors, and providing an outstanding outlook over one of the best seascapes in Newquay. It can sleep up to 14 guests in total in 7 well-appointed ensuite super king bedrooms, plus baby/babies in travel cots. 5 of these bedrooms are in the main house and the other tow located in an annex within the grounds - complete with bathroom and kitchenette. In addition the 6th bedroom has a pair of bunk beds. So in total 16 persons can sleep in Cliff House. The annex is reserved exclusively with the main house, so there will be no other guests on the property during your stay. Please note there is an additional charge for guests above the number of 14.

The main house has been oriented to encapsulate the breathtaking views from all aspects and is tastefully decorated throughout to complement the natural beauty of the surrounding land and seascape.
The open plan living areas are over 20 metres long and at first floor, consequently offering spectacular, elevated south facing sea views. The layout allows a seamless flow from the well-equipped and spacious kitchen, through to the living and dining areas.

The large sitting room and family room are ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Both have large Smart TVs, which proves useful for large groups with differing interests, or to have a separate space for children to amuse themselves safely.

Cliff House features an exceptionally large kitchen, perfect for catering for extended family groups. It's been thoughtfully designed with high-quality appliances, including a large American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, 4 oven AGA, plus standard cooker and hobs. Preparing simple or even extravagant meals in this kitchen is a joy. The impressive central island provides a casual dining area for small groups, or a great spot to enjoy an aperitif while the cooking is done. An extensive array of cooking equipment, utensils, crockery and serving dishes are also provided.

The first floor also houses a large utility with laundry facilities, cloak room and gym, as well as the fifth guest suite.

French doors and bi fold doors open up from the dining and living spaces onto the south terrace with its far reaching views of Crantock Beach and beyond to the open sea. The large terrace is an idyllic spot for dining at any time of the day and has a large electric griddle - perfect for barbecues.

At lower ground floor there is an impressive, heated, indoor swimming pool, complete with swimming jet. The pool opens up onto the lower terrace with bi-fold doors, and has it's own shower room. A spiral stair case leads up to a small gym area with limited basic fitness equipment.

In the main house, 4 of the guest suites are on the lower floor - all with access to the terrace, super king beds, and all with luxurious private en-suite bathrooms. The vast master suite enjoys a full-sized bathroom with lavish bathtub, separate shower enclosure, two WCs and a stylish double vanity. Guests staying in this suite also benefit from an elegant walk-in dressing room.

The grounds of the property are well cared for and the sloping site provides the perfect backdrop for an abundance of coastal plants and wildflowers. Cliff House has direct access to the sea from the garden, ideal for avid water sports enthusiasts and beach lovers. Whether you enjoy surfing, paddle boarding, swimming or kayaking, all can be enjoyed at a moment's notice with a leisurely stroll down the stepped pathway.

There is also a delightful Summer House at the bottom of the garden complete with cold water supply, WC, deck chairs and casual seating inside. Outside you will find a large decked area and half circular seating with a fire pit. The Summer House is a great spot for picnics and sundowners, or makes the perfect hiding place for a quiet afternoon of reading or watching the world go by.

The beach is accessible 3 hours either side of low tide and the estuary provides fantastic warm pools during the middle 6 hours of the tide cycle. Guests can walk across at low tide, or take the ferry from next door.

Cliff House's location makes it a convenient base for exploring Newquay and the wider Cornwall region. The stunning views and wildlife of the Pentire Headland is 50 yards from the gate, and Newquay Town Centre and Harbour are a gentle 15 minute walk away.

Fabulous stay

We stayed at this property to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday. Fabulous from the moment we walked in, I felt like crying as Cliff House was everything and more. The situation is amazing with beautiful views from every aspect. All the bedrooms were beautifully furnished and it was lovely for all to have their own en-suite. The swimming pool was enjoyed by the family and the hot tub was great. The summer house was the perfect place for pre dinner drinks. Lovely beach just at the bottom of the garden. We were blessed with amazing weather and spent most of the time sat outside enjoying the views. The hosts were very helpful. I would highly recommend.

5 Stars all the way. You will not be sorry!!!

Cliff House was the absolute perfect property for our family reunion. The house is immaculate and in exceptional condition. The views are stunning and the location is perfect for visiting Newquay and surrounding areas. Anne was an amazing host and responds to any questions immediately. We had 8 adults and 4 young children and it could not have been more perfect for us. Amazing light and space for gathering and a huge kitchen.

August 1-8 2020

Review – Cliff House Newquay: 1–8 August 2020 For a large family looking for a beach holiday then Cliff House and its location overlooking Crantock Beach and out to the Atlantic, is all you could wish for. The house being open plan helped all three generations enjoy the rooms and terraces in their own way without feeling separated. The pool and hot-tub came to good use during a couple of days of dull cloud, but normally it was mornings off to the beach and waves, with afternoons enjoying the sun terraces. The apartment was a haven for our eldest granddaughter and is the same high standard as the rest of the House. The beach hut provided a welcome base for a quiet read as well as storage of buckets and spades, with beach chairs and windbreaks, and the WC was very useful for those of us wanting to linger a bit longer on the beach. The warmth of the sea pools left behind by the receding tide provided the perfect first experience of a beach holiday for our youngest granddaughter. Worthy of a mention though is the electric barbeque needing only to be switched on. Great for steaks! In summary; a fantastic house in a fantastic location. We would all love to return. Our thanks to Anne and Bruce

Excellent House and Owners

Fantastic house in a great location. We had an amazing time with 4 generations of family members, something for everyone from under “one’s” to over “eighties”. Somewhere to relax for everyone with outstanding views from morning - night. Would highly recommend this house for a stay.

Amazing Family Weekend

We were looking for a large property big enough to celebrate a special anniversary that would be suitable for a variety of ages, and when we found Cliff House on the site it looked like it would more than fit the bill. And Wow, we weren't wrong! As soon as we entered the property it had the wow factor, and that continued as we explored the property. The space inside and out was perfect, plenty of room for our party of 14, the views from the large living spaces were amazing out over the Gannel, which changed with the tides and the weather. We were fortunate to have an amazing late summers day in September which enabled us to enjoy the outside spaces to their fullest. The bedrooms were comfortable and finished to a high standard, with the master having superb views, a dressing room and large bathroom with bath and shower. We made good use of the indoor pool and under cover hot tub, and even went down the private pathway to the beach for a stroll and quick dip in the sea! I have to say this is an amazing property which won't disappoint and was the perfect way to celebrate our party weekend. Communication leading up to our stay between us and the host was helpful and all queries were answred efficiently and fully. Would definately consider this property and host again for any large family events, Big thankyou to Anne from Kevin and Jayne

Spacious home with breathtaking views

Cliff House is a wonderfully proportioned space with breathtaking views over the estuary and into the sea. The location is perfect for direct access to the beach below, wandering into Newquay or rambling along the nearby Headlands towards Fistral beach. The living areas are substantial with a huge tv for evening films with the family. We all slept amazingly in the large beds. The Master suite is worth highlighting with its spectacular views, dressing room, walk-in closet and v large bathroom. The swimming pool and hot tub are great features for family time, esp if the weather takes a turn for the worse. There’s also a summerhouse further down the plot to enjoy- really impressive when the estuary is full up! Finally, it would be remiss not to mention the hosts, Anne and Bruce. Attentive to every detail. Helpful beyond expectations and lovely people to have crossed paths with.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Staley

Host profile image
We are a mature couple who love Cornwall and all the region offers. We have two properties in Newquay that we let out and are enjoying sharing our homes with other lovers of Cornwall. We are both professional people who are winding down our professional lives in order to spend more time doing other things, like walking, swimming , other water related sports and generally relaxing with family in the great British countryside.

Why they chose this property

Cliff House is located on the south side of Pentire and benefits from a south-facing aspect over to Crantock Beach and The Gannel Estuary. This area has a feel of the Mediterranean, with majestic palms and other lush greenery flourishing on this sheltered side of the headland.

The Pentire Headland is only 50 yards from Cliff House and is an area of outstanding natural beauty and protected wildlife, providing a wonderful opportunity for walking and exploring, with views extending the length of the Cornish Coastline.

Fistral Beach is only 6 minutes away, there is a golf course a 5 minute drive from the house, and the convenience of shops and amenities is within easy walking distance. However, the tranquil residential neighbourhood can make it all feel a world away.

There are several exemplary restaurants, cafes and pubs in the immediate vicinity of the house, many of which welcome children and dogs. The vibrancy of Newquay Town Centre a mile away, with a growing reputation as a culinary hot spot. Many well-known chefs have chosen this area to launch cutting edge, top-class restaurants offering exciting menus created with fresh, local produce. There are some very special options for exceptional dining on the beach, which provides an incredible backdrop and a romantic feel. Newquay's beaches are also home to some of the best street food offerings in the South-West.

We chose Newquay for many reasons and we're grateful to be able to share these with our guests; the outstanding beaches, coastal walks, a lively town with plenty of activities for all ages. Most beaches accept dogs, and offer lots of family entertainment. The area has excellent access by road, train or plane, and we're in close proximity to many attractions in the wider Cornwall region, including Eden Project, Tate Modern and many other places of interest.

What makes this property unique

Cliff House is an outstanding property in an exceptionally special location. Winner of Vrbo's Holiday Home of the Year in 2022, it occupies an elevated, south-facing position on the Pentire Headland, with breathtaking views over Crantock Beach.

The house is set in 1-acre of land and has all of the rewards of direct, private access to some of Cornwall's world renowned surfing beaches, Fistral and Crantock. Cliff House offers guests a luxurious, spacious and exclusive living environment in which to enjoy cherished holidays with extended family and friends. The size and layout of the property, with its 5 private suites and the addition of a separate apartment, makes it ideal for family gatherings, or to make lasting memories celebrating those all important special occasions.

The property has been carefully thought out to provide guests with an exceptional experience, from the open plan living, the fabulous and well-equipped kitchen, to the luxury of the heated indoor swimming pool, convenience of ample car parking on site, and great outdoor facilities including a summer house and large barbecue area. Everything is here to make our guests feel welcome and to ensure they have a holiday that creates last memories to treasure for a lifetime.
