  • "It's the second time we've stayed at Lanvean and won't be the last."

    We always feel at home and relaxed. I've only got one moan which is really trivial, the TV is really hard to work out. It might be because I'm old. But we love the cottage and will be back.

  • "A wonderful property in a great location - a short walk to village amenities, and a very short drive to some of north Cornwall's most stunningly beautiful beaches."

    You can stock up for your meals at the Co-op in Saint Columb Major (about 3 1/2 miles) or Tesco's in nearby Padstow (7 miles). Great for families seeking a relaxing visit to enjoy the best of Cornwall!

  • "This is a characterful cottage in an ideal location for exploring the northern beaches of Cornwall, close to Newquay and Padstow, located in a lovely village with a great beach only a 5 minute drive away."

    Nearby airport is not an issue. The cottage is well equipped for any holiday, lovely large open fireplace in lounge, good sized kitchen which is part of an extension, great utility room which would be great for coming back to, after a wet day out, nice use of surfboards to decorate the property along with some nice artwork on the walls, great large dining room table, large wet room downstairs with OK shower (though slow to drain) nice garden space at the front of the property. The house is let down by being tired in places - upstairs bathroom is desperately in need of an update eg. Discoloured toilet seat making you feel uncomfortable and clearly there used to be a shower over bath but is now a hand held shower, red sofa in lounge has clearly seen better days, carpets have a grubby feel, the two fridges both look old eg no door trays in kitchen fridge suggesting they were broken, strange use of wooden boxes in fire place, no welcome guide to tell you what to do with recycling waste or where your nearest GP, vet is etc. Overall this was a good place to explore the beauty of Cornwall in a cottage that grows on you over the week despite it being tired in places and in need of an update. Thanks to our hosts.

The property

Nestled on the peaceful outskirts of Lanvean near the charming village of St Mawgan, Lanvean Farmhouse is a bright and welcoming three-storey haven, perfect for families seeking a beach-filled Cornish escape.

With some of Cornwall’s most stunning beaches just a short drive away, this cheerful cottage offers the ideal base for sun-soaked adventures, seaside picnics, and unforgettable family memories.

Step inside and enjoy the warmth of a fully-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare delicious meals together before gathering around the dining table to share stories from the day.

As evening falls, settle in for a cosy movie night in the comfortable lounge, or unwind in the snug with a good book and a cup of tea.

Spread across three floors, the farmhouse features three inviting bedrooms designed for restful nights after days spent exploring the coast.

A stylish bathroom and a separate snug provide space for both relaxation and getting ready for the day ahead.

Just a short stroll away, the village of St Mawgan offers essentials and local charm, with The Falcon Inn, The Smugglers Inn, and St Mawgan Stores all within easy reach.

But the real magic lies in the nearby beaches—Mawgan Porth and Watergate Bay—both family-friendly, dog-friendly, and perfect for sandcastle building, paddling, and surfing.

Surf schools and equipment hire are available, making it easy for beginners and seasoned surfers alike to catch a wave.

And when hunger strikes, enjoy fresh seafood and laid-back dining at Catch Seafood Bar & Grill or Beach Box Mawgan Porth.

For a scenic walk, follow the footpath from the farmhouse to Mawgan Porth beach (around 2 miles), winding through picturesque countryside before arriving at the golden sands.

If the surf’s not ideal at Watergate Bay, head to Harlyn Bay, often better in westerly winds and equally beautiful.

A short drive brings you to Newquay, a vibrant coastal town with family attractions like Blue Reef Aquarium, Pirate’s Quest Adventure Golf, and of course, more golden beaches to explore.

Whether you're building sandcastles, learning to surf, or simply soaking up the sea air, Lanvean Farmhouse is the perfect place to make magical memories with your loved ones.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

Newquay 6 miles ; Padstow 9 miles ; St Columb Major 3.5 miles

The picturesque little village of St Mawgan lies just north of Newquay, nestled in the Lanherne Valley. The village is home to a thirteenth century church, which is dedicated to St Maganus and St Nicholas. Notably in the graveyard, there is a rowing boat stern - a memorial to sailors who froze to death in local waters in 1846. The River Menalhyl runs through St Mawgan, and the village also has two welcoming inns as well as a friendly village stores with Post Office and tea rooms. The beach at Mawgan Porth is just two miles outside of St Mawgan, and there is also a beautiful Japanese garden just outside the village where you can buy indoor Bonsai trees, succulents, Buddha statues and wind chimes. With Newquay Cornwall airport based just outside St Mawgan, the village enjoys a most convenient location.
