Ten miles southwest of Newquay is a pocket-sized village considered the essence of rural Cornwall. With dog-friendly beaches, spectacular coastal paths, mouthwatering eateries and independent boutiques, this is a one-stop destination for relaxation. If you're searching for a holiday destination that lets you escape the hustle of everyday life then this is the place for you. As a designated AONB the sheltered beach, Trevaunance Cove, nestles in a valley with gently sloping sands into the water. Well known as a surfing spot, this beautiful beach is also home to local crab, lobster and mackerel fishermen who land their catch. A ten-minute drive along the coast takes you to Chapel Porth, a National Trust property with stunning views across the Atlantic and hosts the annual Belly Board Championships in September. If you're looking for the perfect place to escape, look no further than one of our St Agnes holiday cottages.
