Set to one side of a quiet country lane between Cubert village and the sea, this 200 year old detached and double glazed cottage has been freshly renovated to a high standard and is surrounded by lovely countryside with glimpses of the sea on the horizon.

Well placed for access to Holywell Bay, 1 mile, Porth Joke and West Pentire beaches which can be reached by road or by public footpath to Cubert Common and the cliff path which links all three for the more energetic. The village has a grocery store/P.O., pub and two restaurants all within a 15 minute walk and there is a regular bus service to Newquay and the cathedral city of Truro.

The sandy beach at Holywell Bay is about 1 mile and Crantock 2.5 miles, with West Pentire slightly further where there is a summer passenger ferry to Newquay which with its amenities is 5 miles by road. The immediate vicinity provides several golf courses and riding stables, there are local walks across Cubert Common to the coastal footpath, and Newquay Zoo and Sea Life Centre are about a 15 minute drive.

For those looking for a more peaceful break by the sea, a holiday in Cubert should be on your radar. This slightly inland little village is full of character and history, with far-reaching views of the cliff tops, beaches and countryside sprawling out in dramatic splendour.

The village gets its name from St Cubert who, in the 700’s, arrived from Wales to convert the locals to Christianity. Today this thriving village is home to a mix of ancient cobb cottages and housing styles throughout the following centuries. At the heart of Cubert is the 14th century spired church of St Cubert. The once wooden structure used by St Cubert was replaced by a stone building, erected by the Normans in the 11th Century, which was embellished and extended over the next 600-700 years. It’s a really pretty church and well worth a visit.

While on holiday in Cubert, enjoy a meal or two at the local eateries and for supplies, Cubert has a well-stocked village store and post office which sell home-made pasties, as well as a café, bakery and a superb fish and chip shop. More shops and eateries can be found at nearby Newquay, which is just three miles away.

It’s a quick zip in the car or leisurely half hour walk to the stunning beach at Holywell Bay for swimming and surfing. Holidays in Cubert are perfect for exploring all the beautiful beaches close by, such as Crantock, West Pentire and the year-round dog-friendly beach of Porth Joke.

Head out with a bucket and spade for building sandcastles and take some jelly shoes for scrambling over the rocks to rock pools for hours of fish and marine critter discovery. It’s easy to find a little cove for peace and quiet with a good book. For families with youngsters in tow, they’ll happily spend hours rolling down the dunes. Finish the day with an ice cream or maybe a yummy Cornish cream tea before returning to your cottage with sea-salty hair and lots of happy memories.

For non-beach days there are plenty of attractions close by, quaint Cornish villages and tiny fishing ports to explore. Holidays in Cubert are meant to be taken at a leisurely pace, and there’s no better way to relax and enjoy the fresh coastal air and countryside than to don your walking boots. Head out on one of the many local walks which pass through open grassland, dunes past the Atlantic Ocean and golden coves with jagged cliffs forming an impenetrable fortress. 

Outside your door is 600 acres of Cubert Common, owned by the National Trust and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Take gentle jaunts along the well-trodden paths where wildflowers grow alongside vibrant wildlife. In late June head out to West Pentire and soak up views of fields strewn with blooms and dazzling red poppies.

Choose Cubert for a blissful break in Cornwall close to stunningly beautiful beaches, dramatic coastline and countryside rambles.

There is off road parking for two cars on the gravel drive which can be gated to enclose the garden.

Holywell Bay Beach
(2 miles)

(1)

The archetypal north Cornish beach, Holywell Bay has a wide sweep of golden sand, great surf conditions and sprawling sand dunes. Stretching for a mile at low tide, there's loads of space for everyone, no matter what your ideal beach day looks like. Young families will love building sandcastles, exploring rockpools and playing in the shallow streams, surfers and bodyboarders will enjoy the consitent Atlantic swell and peace-seekers can find a quiet spot amongst the dunes to sit and read, dry off after sea swims or watch the sunset. There's also a magical cave to expore at low tide, filled with stalagmites. During the summer season, the National Trust-owned beach is covered by lifeguards, dogs are welcome all year round, and there's parking and facilities around a 5-minute walk away in Holywell village.

Lovely walk to this beautiful bay. Surf board and wetsuit hire available. As a swimmer the waves were exhilarating without there being too many bodyboarders to swim safely as in some other bays. 10min walk to toilet.

Polly Joke Beach
(2 miles)

Sheltered by Pentire Point and sandwiched between the busier beaches of Holywell Bay and Crantock beach, Porth Joke - or Polly Joke to locals - is a stunning, secluded cove. Totally unspoilt, there's a narrow sweep of fine sand and beautiful clear waters. A 15-minute walk from the nearest car park at West Pentire or Cubert Common, it's worth the effort for the peace and serenity. Like its neighbours, Polly Joke is great for swimming, bodyboarding and surfing, but beware that there's no lifeguard cover, nor facilities, so make sure to pack a picnic. At low tide, rockpools and caves are revealed, which are great fun to explore, while during the late spring and early summer, the surrounding headlands bloom with wildflowers. Porth Joke allows dogs throughout the year.

Crantock Beach
(2 miles)

(4)

Crantock beach is a beautiful expanse of soft golden sand backed by grassy dunes on the western shore of the Gannel estuary. Owned and tended to by the National Trust, there's a car park, toilets and cafe nearby, making this a popular spot for families. Not only great for sandcastle-building and sunbathing, Crantock is popular for surfing and bodyboarding, with boards and canoes available to hire from the beach, and lifeguard cover throughout the summer season. On calm days, the turquoise seas are also well worth exploring armed with snorkel and flippers. The South West Coast Path backs the beach, leading to the famous poppy fields of Pentire Point and the secluded Polly Joke cove. Crantock is also dog-friendly all year round.

Towan Beach, Newquay
(3 miles)

October 2023

Yes it's a lovely area, garden was big and secure for the dogs which is always a bonus. We appreciated the fact you could drive in and shut the gate behind you. Cottage was comfy and homely but we weren't brave enough to try the log burner when it got colder. The local people were extremely friendly and helpful. We missed out on the Fish and Chips as they were only opening on Fridays the week we were there but the bakers came up trumps. We had some fabulous walks to Porth Joke and also some other lovely beach days. Unfortunately Storm Babet made its presence felt towards the end of the week which was out of everyone's hands. Overall a good time.


September 2023

We had a wonderful relaxing stay and this is a great location if you take a dog(s) Verity was on hand should you need anything.
