About this house rental
Cliff House, Vrbo's Holiday Home of the Year 2022, offers guests a luxurious, spacious and private living environment in which to enjoy cherished holidays, or to make lasting memories celebrating those important special occasions with close family and friends.
The house is completely private and offered to guests on a self-check in, self-catering basis. It is set in 1-acre of grounds with access and ample parking for 5-6 cars, all behind secure electronic gates. Guests can enjoy direct access to the beach below, via a stepped walkway through the gardens. The location offers complete freedom to relax without worry of disturbance or being overlooked.
Cliff House is a grand property, occupying more than 4,500 square feet of space over two floors, and providing an outstanding outlook over one of the best seascapes in Newquay. It can sleep up to 14 guests in total in 7 well-appointed ensuite super king bedrooms, plus baby/babies in travel cots. 5 of these bedrooms are in the main house and the other tow located in an annex within the grounds - complete with bathroom and kitchenette. In addition the 6th bedroom has a pair of bunk beds. So in total 16 persons can sleep in Cliff House. The annex is reserved exclusively with the main house, so there will be no other guests on the property during your stay. Please note there is an additional charge for guests above the number of 14.
The main house has been oriented to encapsulate the breathtaking views from all aspects and is tastefully decorated throughout to complement the natural beauty of the surrounding land and seascape.
The open plan living areas are over 20 metres long and at first floor, consequently offering spectacular, elevated south facing sea views. The layout allows a seamless flow from the well-equipped and spacious kitchen, through to the living and dining areas.
The large sitting room and family room are ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Both have large Smart TVs, which proves useful for large groups with differing interests, or to have a separate space for children to amuse themselves safely.
Cliff House features an exceptionally large kitchen, perfect for catering for extended family groups. It's been thoughtfully designed with high-quality appliances, including a large American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, 4 oven AGA, plus standard cooker and hobs. Preparing simple or even extravagant meals in this kitchen is a joy. The impressive central island provides a casual dining area for small groups, or a great spot to enjoy an aperitif while the cooking is done. An extensive array of cooking equipment, utensils, crockery and serving dishes are also provided.
The first floor also houses a large utility with laundry facilities, cloak room and gym, as well as the fifth guest suite.
French doors and bi fold doors open up from the dining and living spaces onto the south terrace with its far reaching views of Crantock Beach and beyond to the open sea. The large terrace is an idyllic spot for dining at any time of the day and has a large electric griddle - perfect for barbecues.
At lower ground floor there is an impressive, heated, indoor swimming pool, complete with swimming jet. The pool opens up onto the lower terrace with bi-fold doors, and has it's own shower room. A spiral stair case leads up to a small gym area with limited basic fitness equipment.
In the main house, 4 of the guest suites are on the lower floor - all with access to the terrace, super king beds, and all with luxurious private en-suite bathrooms. The vast master suite enjoys a full-sized bathroom with lavish bathtub, separate shower enclosure, two WCs and a stylish double vanity. Guests staying in this suite also benefit from an elegant walk-in dressing room.
The grounds of the property are well cared for and the sloping site provides the perfect backdrop for an abundance of coastal plants and wildflowers. Cliff House has direct access to the sea from the garden, ideal for avid water sports enthusiasts and beach lovers. Whether you enjoy surfing, paddle boarding, swimming or kayaking, all can be enjoyed at a moment's notice with a leisurely stroll down the stepped pathway.
There is also a delightful Summer House at the bottom of the garden complete with cold water supply, WC, deck chairs and casual seating inside. Outside you will find a large decked area and half circular seating with a fire pit. The Summer House is a great spot for picnics and sundowners, or makes the perfect hiding place for a quiet afternoon of reading or watching the world go by.
The beach is accessible 3 hours either side of low tide and the estuary provides fantastic warm pools during the middle 6 hours of the tide cycle. Guests can walk across at low tide, or take the ferry from next door.
Cliff House's location makes it a convenient base for exploring Newquay and the wider Cornwall region. The stunning views and wildlife of the Pentire Headland is 50 yards from the gate, and Newquay Town Centre and Harbour are a gentle 15 minute walk away.

Cliff House is a wonderfully proportioned space with breathtaking views over the estuary and into the sea. The location is perfect for direct access to the beach below, wandering into Newquay or rambling along the nearby Headlands towards Fistral beach. The living areas are substantial with a huge tv for evening films with the family. We all slept amazingly in the large beds. The Master suite is worth highlighting with its spectacular views, dressing room, walk-in closet and v large bathroom. The swimming pool and hot tub are great features for family time, esp if the weather takes a turn for the worse. There’s also a summerhouse further down the plot to enjoy- really impressive when the estuary is full up!
Finally, it would be remiss not to mention the hosts, Anne and Bruce. Attentive to every detail. Helpful beyond expectations and lovely people to have crossed paths with.

Throughly enjoyable stay, our contact with Anne was excellent, the house was wonderfully clean and the children really enjoyed the pool and the adults the hot tub.
The beech house was most useful and everyone had a great time there on more than one occasion.
Would recommend this place to anyone who asked

The new BBQ area with a fire pit was an added bonus.

We stayed at this property to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday. Fabulous from the moment we walked in, I felt like crying as Cliff House was everything and more. The situation is amazing with beautiful views from every aspect. All the bedrooms were beautifully furnished and it was lovely for all to have their own en-suite. The swimming pool was enjoyed by the family and the hot tub was great. The summer house was the perfect place for pre dinner drinks. Lovely beach just at the bottom of the garden. We were blessed with amazing weather and spent most of the time sat outside enjoying the views. The hosts were very helpful. I would highly recommend.

Cliff House was the absolute perfect property for our family reunion. The house is immaculate and in exceptional condition. The views are stunning and the location is perfect for visiting Newquay and surrounding areas. Anne was an amazing host and responds to any questions immediately. We had 8 adults and 4 young children and it could not have been more perfect for us. Amazing light and space for gathering and a huge kitchen.

This property is exceptional. Beautifully appointed, hotel grade cleanliness. I really can’t rate it highly enough. The hosts are 1st class and clearly care deeply about your holiday experience. And the views! We would sit there for hours soaking them in. This is the best house I have ever stayed in, and you can’t help but feel like a bit of a movie star staying there. 1st class.

It took over 2 years to get the holiday home of a lifetime. COVID permitting we finally carried it off. Anne was the most helpful and courteous person I've ever dealt with. Cliff house was superb, the facilities suited us perfectly and the views and walks are terrific. We loved the place.

The property is set with wonderful views overlooking and giving access to Crantock Beach where our grandchildren enjoyed surfing and paddle boarding as well as the indoor pool. The house is of a size that 11 of us could almost get lost with ample lounge seating and a dining table to seat 12 in comfort. Certainly worth a stay. Even has a charging point for electic car.

Wow…The Cliff House is amazing!
We have just spent a long weekend at this wonderful house celebrating a birthday & everything was first class right from booking to checking out.
The service we received from the owner Anne was second to none. This beautiful house is truly five star along with the beautiful views & private beach. If anyone is thinking of booking this house…don’t hesitate it really is outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful weekend we will be back next year!

From the moment we arrived at the gate & on opening the front door was a wow moment! This property was everything we had hoped & wished for. Views are amazing, as are the sunsets. Plenty of indoor & outdoor space for our three generations to spread out or gather! The whole house was spotlessly clean & fresh. Our teenage Granddaughter’s were in their element in the apartment! The pool was a definite hit, especially to cool down, we were very lucky to have the hot weather. The beach was perfect & on Anne’s recommendation we hired an assortment of paddle boards & kayaks from Just surf, who delivered & collected, a great service. We had all we needed & once settled didn’t really need to leave the house. Anne & Bruce are excellent 5* hosts, answering are questions from booking, sharing information & on hand if needed. This was a perfect location for celebrating our special occasion with family & friends. We had an amazing holiday & created happy memories & can’t wait to return. Thank you.

The property is amazing but the thing that hits you is the views. Amazing, from pretty much every room. Beautiful terrace and garden overlooking the estuary with steps down the steep garden to reach the beach, which is almost like your own little private beach next to the estuary on Crantock Beach as it’s the opposite side to the National Trust car park, and people would have to wade through the river at low tide to get to your patch. It was brilliant for having a go at paddle boarding (you can hire them to be delivered to the house, along with wetsuits) , and for the kids playing in the water. The kids also loved the swimming pool and although small, If you wanted to swim properly there is a jet that you can swim against so you don’t have to keep turning around doing lengths.
We had the chef Adam Banks come to the house and cook for us one night, which was amazing (and the food was sourced as locally or ethically as possible which was great). If you wanted to, you can go into Newquay nearby but we didn’t feel the need to go very far! Loved our stay, thanks Anne and Bruce for being great hosts. Future holiday rentals will have a lot to live up to!

Absolutely beautiful fabulous stunning !!!!! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
On looking for a house that would cater for 9 adults 5 children and our lovely dogs we stumbled across this amazing Home , Anne the owner couldn’t have been more helpful in making us feel welcome , with covid stopping us from being able to see our son and his family in the US we were looking for somewhere our 3 sons and their families could relax and enjoy being together, it didn’t disappoint , the children absolutely loved the pool and the adults the hottub, the views are stunning , location incredible , Cornwall is such a lovely place so much to see , the weather wasn’t warm enough for us to sit out at night , we did say it would have been nice to have a fire pit to sit around when the children had gone to bed but we had the most amazing time and made many happy memories , we will definitely visit again and Thankyou Anne for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home.
Best wishes Lynne and family

We had the most amazing time at cliff house for my mum’s 60th birthday celebrations with my family . Cliff house has the most picturesque views of the beach and just takes you breathe away the minute you walk inside. We had perfect weather to use the BBQ , swimming pool and hot tub . We can’t recommend this house enough for a celebration or special occasion , we enjoyed meals drinks and games around the huge kitchen table . We really did have the best time away so many facility’s this house has to offer , we could enjoy music all around the house while having a lovely BBQ in the sunshine whilst watching everyone on the beach we there fun too .
We had a few young children in our group including my 2 year old daughter I found the house to be very safe for her with keys for all the doors so I knew she couldn’t get to the pool without me knowing. The hot tub ans pool what are warm and inviting from the minute we arrived . Thanks to Anna we had a very straightforward check it and a detailed rundown of how to use everything in the house it was very helpful ,
This was my first time using Vrbo and I can’t fault our experience . We definitely would like to come again to stay in the future 10/10 many thanks Nikita Hassall
