Pentire House United Kingdom
Holiday Home Rental Description
Fabulously colourful and lively, Pentire House is the dream holiday-home for family fun and a little piece of serenity, just moments from the beautiful Fistral beach and offering breath-taking Cornish views, overlooking the Gannel Estuary and Crantock bay!
The home has been newly renovated and as such is abounding with modern delights, including open plan warm and inviting rooms, many with high ceilings and direct garden access creating a magnificent fusion of interior and exterior living. The main incredible living areas can all be found on the first-floor, including a large living area centred around the cosy wood burner, and a second lounge set up around a huge TV. Your incredible kitchen has countless modern appliances and space for plenty of chefs to get involved, before settling at your large wooden dining table for a memorable meal with the whole group. A snug complete with a real-life wooden sailing boat filled with pillows and blankets is the ideal place for the kids to hide out, while on the ground floor you will even find an awesome family-fun room! There’s a fantastic children’s climbing wall and a games table with both table tennis and a pool table built in, plus patio doors leading into the back garden which fill the room with a warm glow!
There are six bedrooms in total, three enjoy a super king size bed, one has a double bed, one a single bed, and then there is the incredible children’s room with bunk beds and a slide! All six rooms are as vibrant and homely as the rest of the house, with colourful wallpaper and vibrant décor reflecting the Cornish scenery. The master room offers incredible sea and estuary views, and its ensuite bathroom includes a gorgeous bath and rain-shower. In addition, there is a full family bathroom and two dazzling shower rooms to keep everyone happy!
Out in the garden you’ll find huge amounts of space for everyone to enjoy the fresh air together – including the sumptuous terrace leading from the main living area. With alfresco dining, you can enjoy endless meals and barbeques with unforgettable views, or simply enjoy your morning cuppa in this incredible natural environment.
This really is the perfect rural retreat, with immediate coastal access and of course spectacular countryside and costal views. Setting off from the house itself you’ll find endless opportunities for a scenic stroll, and yet within walking distance you will also find supermarkets, cafes and restaurants galore! Huge skies, glistening beaches and wild flower-strewn clifftops are rightfully the lasting images of Cornwall, and its warm climate, amazing scenery, and diverse Celtic heritage, including the arts and its enormous wealth of archaeology, certainly justifies the fierce pride of its people.
Famous for its water-sports, in particular surfing and sailing, Cornwall also offers an incredible rock-climbing scene, off-road cycling (including the 18 mile ‘Camel Trail’ following the scenic estuary of the river Camel) and of course, walking. The South West Coast Path, which runs for hundreds of miles along the West Country southern coastline, is particularly scenic around Penwith and the Lizard in the far south-west, venturing through vibrant towns, remote cliffs, beaches, farms and fishing villages. Another incredible walking path is the 125-mile Cornish Celtic Way, mapped by a local 55-year-old clergyman, which will show you a wilder, even more romantic side of this luscious county.
Be sure to try a Cornish pasty and delicious sweet Saffron buns, and of course a little Cornish Clotted cream and Ice Cream! And for a local tipple, the three major breweries of St Austell, Sharps and Skinners serve excellent beer in pubs throughout the county, and because of its mild climate Cornwall has a number of vineyards producing delicious wine, and is even known for its production of honey wine!
Though the magic of the county really happens in the rural Cornish landscape, there are many enchanting towns in Cornwall. Some famous ones include: Bude with its excellent beaches, first class surfing and laidback, relaxed vibe on the north coast; Newquay, the surfing capital of the UK, and; St Ives, the home of one branch of the Tate Gallery, with white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
If you must visit a city (for a little retail therapy, or perhaps to see a show) the only one in the county is Truro, with High Tea at Charlotte’s offering an unmissable experience, in a charming Victorian building serving Cornish-grown tea! There are two covered markets, one of which sells eco/organic products, and on Saturday mornings there’s a great farmers’ market on the piazza where you can find local produce.
To get in, there are ever-improving roads and trains running right through to Penzance in the far south-west of the county, as well as Cornwall Airport Newquay (NQY) about 5 miles from Newquay, or a 30-40-minute drive from Truro. The nearby airports of Exeter (EXT) and Bristol (BRS) offer a wider range of flights than Newquay and will usually be significantly cheaper. Car hire is available at all three airports.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
