History

Harlyn Beach House belongs to Mark Hellyar. Mark’s Family has owned and farmed Harlyn bay for approx. 250 years and it was his great grandfather; Thomas who founded the Harlyn Bay Pilchard company from the Cellars at Boat bay which you can see still on the left hand side of the bay. The view from your windows has not changed significantly for all this time. Something he is passionate to maintain.

Mark has also made wine in France: At Chateau Civrac in Bordeaux . We hope you enjoy your stay here at Harlyn Bay and perhaps enjoy a glass of his wine either here or at his partners (Emily’s) wonderful restaurant on the beach at Watergate bay (www.emilyscottfood.com).

Harlyn Bay is a special place to me, my family and anyone who stays here.

Standfirst

Nestled above a sweeping golden sand beach, Harlyn Beach House near Padstow in Cornwall boasts an enviable location, only a short stroll from the sea. Just idyllic for halcyon days spent between Boutique luxury and salt-kissed shoreline, this stunning retreat makes for the dreamiest escape with friends and family - and, your dog is welcome too. Spend time luxuriating within this beautiful abode’s stunning interiors, savouring its luxe beach-meets-cottagecore styling with exposed stone, wood cladding, eclectic original art pieces and lots of natural light. With commanding sea views afforded from almost every room, incredible ocean vistas set the backdrop for each moment. If you can tear yourself away,

the sprawling sands of Harlyn Bay are just a short walk away following a private footpath from the house, while a fifteen-minute drive leads you to the charming streets of Padstow’s harbour town.

Living

Framed by a stone archway and illuminated by huge windows overlooking Harlyn Bay, the living area is a dream for drawn-out moments savouring ocean aspects. Gorgeous in every way, its neutral tones, natural textures, and coastal-inspired décor combine to create a spellbinding space, while its cosy, L-shaped corner sofa, armchairs, cushions, and throws imbue comfort throughout the year. For added hygge, throw open the windows in summer and enjoy a refreshing sea breeze on balmy days as you recline on the sofa. Meanwhile in winter, relish the addition of a delightful wood burning stove to add even more atmosphere for movie nights at home.

Eating

Tempting for aromatic meals, the attractive kitchen has everything you need for divine repasts with a cream Aga, double oven, American style fridge-freezer with ice machine, and varied accoutrements. Showcasing open shelves and a stainless steel splashback, it complements its modern styling with eye-catching features and natural inflections. Cast your eye around the room, before landing your gaze on the wood-topped kitchen island in the centre of the room. Beckoning for slow morning coffees and evening tipples, it is a perfect social hub complete with stow-away kitchen stools. Just off the kitchen, the adjoining dining room features a grand Welsh dresser, with a trestle-style dining table and leather bonquette seating for meals together. Bathed in neutral tones and infused with slate grey tones, its soothing palette mirrors the colours of the soft sands and bare cliffs beyond the window.

Sleeping and Bathing

Sleeping eight, there are four stunning bedrooms at Harlyn Beach House, all of which delicately reflect the coastal hues and ocean blues of its surrounding.

Granting an almost panoramic view of the bay, this room has a large window that runs the length of its exterior wall, overlooking twinkling sea and undulating coast.

Also on the first floor, the final bedroom is decorated in soft tones of grey, blue and white and promises soothing oceanside slumbers in a king-sized bed.
