Overview

Things To Do

Fernleigh is a modern and comfortable property occupying an enviable corner plot only five minutes' level walk to Perranporth's huge sandy beach. Entrance to the house is gained either down a few steps into the garden and through the front door, or up three steps into the kitchen from the parking area at the back, where there are two car parking spaces for the main house.

The fully equipped kitchen is fitted with an electric double oven and hob, full sized fridge and freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and three bar stools at the breakfast bar. A washing machine is housed within a storage cupboard. At the other end of the room is a dining table with six chairs, and patio doors out to the enclosed garden which has both decked and lawned areas, garden furniture and a barbecue. An outside shower, quirkily fashioned from driftwood, has been fitted by the back door for rinsing off the sand after a day at the beach.

The comfortable sitting room is furnished with a corner sofa, bureau units, wood burner and TV, and the property benefits from new carpets throughout. A fully tiled downstairs shower room offers a rain shower, WC and basin on this ground floor.

Upstairs bedroom one has a king-sized bed (5'), chest of drawers and storage space. Bedroom two is furnished with twin beds (3' each), a wardrobe and chest of drawers, and bedroom three offers full sized bunk beds (3' each) and storage. All bedrooms benefit from hypo-allergenic, memory foam mattresses. The bathroom on this floor has a shower over the bath and a basin, with the WC in a separate room.

Fernleigh sleeps six, but for larger groups holidaying together can be booked with next door properties Little Fernleigh and Menawethan which sleep two and six respectively. All have their own entrances, private gardens and parking spaces. Fernleigh and Little Fernleigh share the outside shower.

Beach Life

Perranporth boasts a beautiful three mile long sandy beach with undulating dunes, a tidal swimming pool built into the striking Chapel Rock, and rock pools that are perfect for paddling. Swim and surf in the big blue, explore caves and enjoy the space to stretch, run and breathe. Take a picnic for lazy hazy days in the dunes or take the dog and relish the three mile expanse of golden sand.
Culture and History

St Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall, is said to have washed up on Perranporth’s shores, and the remains of his 6th century oratory can still viewed in the dunes. Perranporth was the site for two tin mines in years gone by and the inspiration for Winston Graham’s Poldark novels which were all written here. High above the beach the millennium sundial tracks Cornish time (approximately 12 minutes later than GMT).
Food and Drink

From fine dining to fish and chips on the promenade, Perranporth has a wide array of food and drink, so you can treat yourself to time away from the kitchen. Share delicious tapas, try vegan street food, or enjoy great bar food in sunny gardens. Local takeaways include Indian, Chinese, Thai and pizza, and remember to leave room for an indulgent Cornish ice cream or post dinner local gin!
Get Active

The north coast of Cornwall is made for adventure. In addition to the wild playgrounds of the beaches there are also loads of organised activities available too. Book lessons with a surf school, gallop a horse along the beach, and play tennis at beautifully maintained grass and hard courts. There’s also a links golf course in the dunes, hang-gliding, a bowling green, children’s play park and boating lake.
Local Attractions

There’s plenty to see and do in the local area, without having to travel too far. Within a short drive of all our properties, visitors can pet farm animals and sample the local cyder at Healeys Cyder Farm, find out how ice cream is made (and of course treat yourself to some!) at Callestick Farm Cornish Ice Cream, and discover the ruins of St Piran’s Oratory in the sand dunes at Perranporth. Dairyland, with horse rides, farm animals, and a huge soft play area, is a great day out for families with young children, as is Lappa Valley Steam Railway with train rides and play park and exploring creatures of the deep at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium at Towan Beach.
Explore Cornwall

Slightly further afield is The Eden Project with its famous biomes, the National Trust houses of Lanhydrock, Trelissick and Trerice, and the spectacular gardens of Glendurgan, Trebah and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. From the rugged and dramatic north coast to the sheltered harbours of south coast fishing villages, everyone is bound to find a corner of Cornwall that captures their heart. Visit St Ives for cobbled streets and art galleries including the Tate St Ives, walk the causeway to St Michael’s Mount island off Marazion, and explore Falmouth’s fascinating maritime history. Padstow is a foodie’s heaven, while Truro boasts a stunning Gothic Revival cathedral and is the county’s shopping hub.
