Mermaid Gaze

Mermaid Gaze is a delightful ground-floor apartment in Porth, Cornwall, offering sea views, an enclosed garden with a hot tub, and off-road parking near the beach.

Designed for families or couples, this stylish coastal base places days beside the water and evenings under the open sky firmly on the itinerary.

Step inside and follow the open-plan living space towards the conservatory, where sliding patio doors frame the garden and invite sunlight across the dining area.

Gather here over breakfast while deciding where the day may lead, or prepare a favourite meal in the sleek kitchen, using the generous island as a sociable hub.

Afterwards, settle into the sitting area with a film on the Smart TV.

Two appealing bedrooms offer flexible arrangements.

The twin can convert to a super-king-size bed on request and enjoys views towards the beach and sea, while the king-size bedroom opens directly onto the garden terrace.

A wet room with a walk-in shower completes the interior.

Outside, the enclosed lawn and decking create an inviting setting for barbecues and alfresco drinks.

Rinse sandy feet beneath the outdoor shower, then sink into the hot tub as the last light moves across the coast.

Begin in Porth, where Porth Beach invites sandcastle building, surfing and sunlit hours beside the water, while Porth Island and the South West Coast Path reveal dramatic coastal scenery.

Follow the trail west towards Newquay, a lively town with shops, restaurants and several beaches for family days by the Atlantic.

Head east instead to Watergate Bay, where the broad sandy beach provides another setting for surfing, shoreline walks and time in the sea air.

Scenic bus journeys also run along the coast towards Padstow, opening up further opportunities to experience Cornwall’s changing seascapes.

From beach mornings to evenings in the garden, Mermaid Gaze makes every coastal day feel close at hand.
