- Sociable garden
Named after a picturesque Cornish cove on the west coast, Poldhu is a dream holiday home for families and groups of friends. The exterior is truly captivating, clad in timber, encased in glass and finished with striking black accents. Dog-friendly and set over two floors, the home’s sea views, elevated lookout lounge and four bedrooms make it a relaxing place to call home after days on Harlyn Bay Beach.
With the ocean in sight and direct garden access thanks to vast sliding doors, the inviting social areas blend effortlessly into one. A sleek kitchen finished in deep blue and cool grey tones overlooks the large dining table and cosy living area, with its plush sofas and Smart TV.
Upstairs in the lookout lounge, it’s easy to lose yourself in the sweeping sea vista that awaits through the treetops. From crashing tides to sunkissed sands, the beautiful view across Harlyn Bay is best savoured alongside crisp wine and local cheese. There’s also a bedroom nestled on this floor, enjoying the same coastal outlook from its king size bed. Benefiting from an en-suite bathroom, it makes a tempting refuge for couples wanting to break away from the group.
Taking their names from the surrounding Seven Bays, the remaining three bedrooms are on the ground floor, including one super king, one zip and link, and one king size room. Perfectly peaceful, the master suite awaits at the far end of the house. With an en-suite bathroom and a small private terrace with ocean glimpses, it lends itself to early birds hoping to make the most of the view. A welcome addition for hot summer months, each bedroom also enjoys air conditioning.
Stepping out into the garden from the kitchen, you’ll find a raised deck with a dining table to seat eight, plus a soft grassy lawn for games in the evening sun. Looking back at the house, the hot tub sits at the edge of the garden, while the charcoal barbeque and outdoor shower are best enjoyed after surf lessons and walks in the shallows.
Harlyn Bay and the local area promise to fill the holiday itinerary for days on end, with one of Cornwall’s best surfing beaches less than a five minute walk away. Also within 10 minutes on foot, lovers of fine food will relish the chance to dine at The Pig, where alongside a beautiful restaurant and kitchen garden, you’ll find the Potting Shed Treatment Rooms for relaxing spa days.

Open Plan Kitchen, Living and Dining Area
A welcoming space to bring the whole family together, Poldhu’s kitchen, living and dining area enjoys an open plan design. Large bi-fold doors open onto the sunny garden where drinks on the decked terrace await.
Awash with deep blue tones and marble accents, the stylish kitchen is equipped to an exceptionally high standard - complete with a Neff oven, built-in microwave and Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine. The central island is home to an induction hob and two wine coolers, inviting guests to take a seat at the bar stools with a chilled drink as dinner is prepared.
Seating eight, the large wooden dining table sits in front of the bi-fold doors, making the space perfect for sociable afternoons in and out of the garden. Select your favourite playlist through the SONOS speakers, then once the evening draws to a close, sink into a plush blue sofa in front of the LG Smart TV. With access to Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video, there’ll be something to keep everyone entertained.
Master Bedroom with En-suite
At the end of the hallway lies a heavenly master bedroom with a luxurious 7ft long super king size bed. Dusky pinks and deep blues create a welcoming space, while French doors flood the room with plenty of natural light and offer views into the private courtyard garden. A large built-in wardrobe provides room to hang your holiday favourites, while the marble tiled en-suite features double sinks and a spacious walk-in shower.
On warmer days, open up the patio doors and enjoy an al fresco breakfast in the sunshine. With glimpses over the ocean, this private pocket of the garden is perfect for nightcaps under the stars before bed. Sure to be a welcome addition in the summer months, all four bedrooms at Poldhu also enjoy air conditioning throughout.
Bedroom Two with En-suite
Bright and inviting, bedroom two is another spacious room with a king size bed and pretty views over the garden. The en-suite bathroom features beautiful marbled tiles and a luxurious waterfall shower, making it a real haven to get ready for the day ahead. A wall-mounted Smart TV means you can catch up with any much-loved series while enjoying a morning coffee.
Bedroom Three
A zip and link bed means bedroom three can be transformed from a king into a handy twin, depending on your requirements. Finished in soft sandy tones and light blue accents, this bedroom provides a comfortable space to relax after sunny mornings exploring the coast. As with all bedrooms, you'll fine unique resin artwork dotted throughout, including the wooden nightstands that frame the bed.
Please note that while these bedrooms are located on the ground floor, there are approximately 4 internal steps from the entranceway to the ground floor bedrooms.
Family Bathroom
Finished in delicate marble from floor to ceiling, the family bathroom feels instantly luxurious. A freestanding bath tub welcomes evenings submerged in clouds of bubbles, while the large waterfall shower is perfect for mornings on the go.
Utility
Just off of the grand marble entryway, this practical utility room benefits from a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as an industrial dehumidifier that's perfect for drying out salty wetsuits. Built-in cupboards provide plenty of room for beach gear, while a farmhouse sink and an additional WC complete the space.

Local Area
Harlyn Bay
Beaches and watersports
Extremely popular for surfing, the family friendly beach at Harlyn Bay is a haven for watersports enthusiasts of all abilities. Take to the waves with SUP or coasteering sessions with the fantastic team at Harlyn Surf School or explore a little further afield with a walk around the Seven Bays. Other nearby beaches include the sheltered cove of Trevone and the surrounding sandy bays of Constantine, Treyarnon and Porthcothan. Slightly further afield in Polzeath you can find George's Surf School. Led by experienced tutors, they offer both private and immersive lessons for surfers of all abilities.
Food and drink
Holidays here aren't complete without lunch or dinner at The Pig, which serves a great range of dishes from its 25-mile menu, sourced within the South West. Five minutes outside of Harlyn Bay is Rafferty’s – a great lunchtime spot for tapas and light bites. While just down the road in Padstow, you’ll find Paul Ainsworth’s Number 6 and the lovely St Petroc’s Bistro. Rick Stein’s Padstow Seafood School will teach you how to forage for your supper, while exploring the world of Cornish wines at Camel Valley or Trevibban Mill comes highly recommended for finding your new favourite tipple. There’s a tempting array of local pubs nearby too, including The Cornish Arms in St Merryn.
Outdoor pursuits
Walkers should join the coast path from Harlyn Bay Beach and head north east towards Trevone. If you’re feeling adventurous, continue to Bedruthan Steps before retreating to Carnewas Tearooms for a jam-first cream tea. Stepper Point near Padstow affords spectacular coastal views, with the nearby Doom Bar and Camel Estuary well worth a visit too. Harlyn is surrounded by great golf courses, from Trevose nearby to St Enodoc less than 30 minutes away. For cyclists, the Camel Trail is a flat 18 mile stretch with The Snail’s Pace Café (perfect for lunch) halfway.
Activities for children
A real children’s playground, Harlyn and its surrounding areas have plenty to keep little ones entertained. Pull on your wellies and set off for a day out at Dairyland Farm World, let the kids run riot at Camel Creek Adventure Park or take to the seas and embrace the Cornish outdoors with a wildlife safari. With St Eval go-karting tracks nearby, and zip wire experiences for the thrill-seekers, you’ll never run out of entertaining options.
Time for pampering
Only a short drive away, you’ll find the award-winning Cowshed Spa in Trebetherick. Enjoy a glass of champagne as you indulge in the exclusive beauty treatments, tried and tested at Babington House in Somerset. The renowned Scarlet Spa sits further along the coast in Mawgan Porth, home to cliff top hot tubs and memorable ocean views. Alternatively, The Headland in Newquay provides a lovely setting to relax and unwind with a dip in the pool or an indulgent massage.
Festivals and events
Padstow’s annual Christmas Festival is the perfect way to kick off the festive season. Usually held at the beginning of December, this popular fishing village comes alive with an array of tastes, smells, sounds and unique gifts. The day is filled with celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations, local produce and a lively Santa fun run. Another big event in Padstow’s calendar, May Day sees the town come alive with flags, flowers, greenery and maypoles.

We had a wonderful stay at Poldhu as a family of six adults, a baby and a dog. The house was beautiful and in a fantastic location, with easy access to the expansive beach. We played golf on the nearby pristine course, hired bikes, ventured along the Camel Trail and also experienced a local kayaking trip. The holiday was just perfect and it was wonderful on an evening to relax outside in the garden and sit in the hot tub watching the sunset.
”We really enjoyed our stay, and the location is perfect for the beach. The house is very well set up and worked perfectly with three teenagers who enjoyed the hot-tub and exploring the beach. We hope to return again soon and definitely lucked out with the weather - seven brilliantly sunny days, what more could you ask for?!
”The most perfect holiday home in a fabulous location. The house was so comfortable and had everything we needed for humans and dogs. Perfect Stays is a great company to go with. Very efficient, great communication and reliable. I would certainly recommend the company, house and nearby beach.
”We stayed at Poldhu in Harlyn Bay. It's a lovely property with everything you need and situated so close to the beautiful beach. The hot tub was a success and with three dogs and a baby staying, the utility room was so useful. All communications we had with Perfect Stays were brilliant and all my questions were answered quickly.
”We loved Poldhu - its location was perfect for beach days and the garden was safe and enclosed for the dogs. The house itself was light, spacious and very well equipped and the air conditioning was a bonus on hot nights! Everything was perfect for our stay with six adults and two dogs.
”We had a great week at Poldhu in Harlyn Bay. It's a fantastic property in a great location. Everything was spotlessly clean and to a superb high-spec design. There's a lovely, enclosed garden with a great hot tub. There were also two routes to the beach, either down the road or via the footpath, both only a five minute walk. Great customer service from the Perfect Stays team during our stay, keeping in touch to make sure that everything was fine. We hope to book there again.
”Highly recommended from start to finish. Superb assistance prior to booking and throughout the booking process. Holiday accommodation was truly excellent, exceeded our expectations even. Spotless, beautiful inside and out, superb location, etc. And their concierge service was a holiday changer for us thanks to the bookings they secured on our behalf. Take me back!!!
