Celebrate on the beach this year

8th November 2011 Print
Mawgan Porth Beach

If you're looking for the perfect festive escape, let the breathtaking shores of Cornwall's north coast coupled with one of Beach Retreats contemporary self-catering properties be the backdrop to your celebrations.

Beach Retreats offers a range of accommodation from cosy cottages to beach-chic apartments, all within easy reach of great places to eat, drink, play, shop and relax.  If this wasn't enough, the team can also help you book to your Christmas lunch, New Year's Eve party as well as arranging for your fridge to be packed with treats including champagne, fresh seafood and even a Christmas pudding.

Take advantage of Beach Retreats' 5-night break (Christmas 23-28 December and New Year 29 Dec - 3 Jan) and leave the festive chaos behind... from just £310.

Coastal Getaway

Just 60 metres from the beach, Clipper Cottage is an original fisherman's cottage with a cool coastal interior design.  A rustic wood-burning stove for maximum cosiness and a large conservatory for hosting friends and family.  With Porth beach just 2 minutes away, crisp morning walks are a must and even your pet pooch can join in the fun. Sleeps 7.

A 5-night break costs £970 to include Christmas and £1020 for New Year.

Views to die for

Headlands is a beautiful coastal house, perched high over the beach at Mawgan Porth.  It has some of the very best sea views in the area. There is plenty of space for all the family with four bedrooms as well as an impressive yet comfortable open plan living area with wood burning stove. The table is large enough even for the biggest turkey and you can create more living space using the full height doors which fold back to open up a large wrap around balcony.

A 5-night break at Christmas or New Year is £2500 per stay.

Funky family beach base

If you want to be within easy reach of the beach as well as a great range of restaurants including the Jamie Oliver inspired Fifteen Cornwall, then 3 Whitehouse is perfect. Set in landscaped gardens, the apartment is funky and stylish and the open plan living area opens up onto the slate terrace for a bracing breakfast watching the waves.

A 5 night Christmas break is £1130 and at New Year is £1180.

No stay with Beach Retreats is far from Watergate Bay - one of Cornwall's coolest coastal destinations, why not tap a visit into your stay.

Christmas Day Lunch at The Beach Hut - celebrate Christmas Day at the beach with a festive four-course menu overlooking the ocean.  Sit back, relax and watch the waves roll in.

New Year's Eve Party at Fifteen Cornwall - with an Olympic theme, this is your chance to don your finest sporting outfit and join in the fun.  The evening includes cocktails and a four-course menu, followed by dancing to the early hours.

The Extreme Academy's winter activities - pop on a winter wetsuit and take a dip into the winter waters. You can learn to surf, kitesurf, waveski or paddleboard - or have a go at traction kiting.
