Get back to life's simple pleasures and spend some quality time by the sea. Just minutes from the beach at Harlyn Bay and surrounded by enveloping greenery, families and four-legged friends have plenty of space to make themselves at home at Longships.
The modern kitchen and open plan dining room offer the perfect social hub for family meals, while the first floor lounge is complete with a wood burner and Smart TV. An expansive gable window floods the whole floor with natural light, while a grey and yellow colour scheme becomes an inviting refuge for cosy nights in.
With coastal interiors and its own en-suite, wake up to treetop views in the master bedroom. Complete with a further two bedrooms, there's plenty of space to break away from the group for some much-needed downtime.
Little ones will love running wild in the garden, while the outdoor hammock may prove all too tempting for a sunny afternoon spent with a good book.
With Harlyn Bay on your doorstep and the foodie hub of Padstow just down the road, there’s plenty to see, eat and do without needing to travel far. Pop to Padstow for fresh crab to enjoy on the harbour wall, or visit Rick Stein’s Cornish Arms pub just up the road in St Merryn.
Come Christmas time, a trip to Padstow's annual festival by the harbour is a must. Think Cornwall's top chefs, live cookery demonstrations and the perfect opportunity to pick up locally made gifts.
For large group stays, Longships is also available to book alongside its neighbouring properties Lizard and Wolf Rock, each sleeping six guests just moments from the sea.

Harlyn Bay
Beaches and watersports
Extremely popular for surfing, the family friendly beach at Harlyn Bay is a haven for watersports enthusiasts of all abilities. Take to the waves with SUP or coasteering sessions with the fantastic team at Harlyn Surf School or explore a little further afield with a walk around the Seven Bays. Other nearby beaches include the sheltered cove of Trevone and the surrounding sandy bays of Constantine, Treyarnon and Porthcothan. Slightly further afield in Polzeath you can find George's Surf School. Led by experienced tutors, they offer both private and immersive lessons for surfers of all abilities.
Food and drink
Holidays here aren't complete without lunch or dinner at The Pig, which serves a great range of dishes from its 25-mile menu, sourced within the South West. Five minutes outside of Harlyn Bay is Rafferty’s – a great lunchtime spot for tapas and light bites. While just down the road in Padstow, you’ll find Paul Ainsworth’s Number 6 and the lovely St Petroc’s Bistro. Rick Stein’s Padstow Seafood School will teach you how to forage for your supper, while exploring the world of Cornish wines at Camel Valley or Trevibban Mill comes highly recommended for finding your new favourite tipple. There’s a tempting array of local pubs nearby too, including The Cornish Arms in St Merryn.
Outdoor pursuits
Walkers should join the coast path from Harlyn Bay Beach and head north east towards Trevone. If you’re feeling adventurous, continue to Bedruthan Steps before retreating to Carnewas Tearooms for a jam-first cream tea. Stepper Point near Padstow affords spectacular coastal views, with the nearby Doom Bar and Camel Estuary well worth a visit too. Harlyn is surrounded by great golf courses, from Trevose nearby to St Enodoc less than 30 minutes away. For cyclists, the Camel Trail is a flat 18 mile stretch with The Snail’s Pace Café (perfect for lunch) halfway.
Activities for children
A real children’s playground, Harlyn and its surrounding areas have plenty to keep little ones entertained. Pull on your wellies and set off for a day out at Dairyland Farm World, let the kids run riot at Camel Creek Adventure Park or take to the seas and embrace the Cornish outdoors with a wildlife safari. With St Eval go-karting tracks nearby, and zip wire experiences for the thrill-seekers, you’ll never run out of entertaining options.
Time for pampering
Only a short drive away, you’ll find the award-winning Cowshed Spa in Trebetherick. Enjoy a glass of champagne as you indulge in the exclusive beauty treatments, tried and tested at Babington House in Somerset. The renowned Scarlet Spa sits further along the coast in Mawgan Porth, home to cliff top hot tubs and memorable ocean views. Alternatively, The Headland in Newquay provides a lovely setting to relax and unwind with a dip in the pool or an indulgent massage.
Festivals and events
Padstow’s annual Christmas Festival is the perfect way to kick off the festive season. Usually held at the beginning of December, this popular fishing village comes alive with an array of tastes, smells, sounds and unique gifts. The day is filled with celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations, local produce and a lively Santa fun run. Another big event in Padstow’s calendar, May Day sees the town come alive with flags, flowers, greenery and maypoles.

Just had a week over New Year at the beautiful Harlyn Bay just outside of Padstow, and stayed at Longships which was great as just 50 meters to the beach and also a perfect place for everything we needed. The team at Perfect Stays were also very helpful. Thank you!
”We had a fantastic time in Harlyn Bay. We would always book with Perfect Stays. Properties and attention to detail are excellent.
”We have rented numerous properties from Perfect Stays and hands down they are the best by miles...nothing is too much trouble and they are great communicators. First class.
”This is a beautiful cottage, one of 3 available on this site and although there is no sea view, the beach is only 100 yards away.
The garden is dog safe, with a great outside shower for rinsing sand off.
It was very clean on arrival and warm, we have stayed in all 3 cottages and would recommend!
”Longships is an incredible accommodation in the most beautiful location. The beach is literally one minute walk away, where we were lucky enough to spend most of our time due to the good weather. The accommodation had everything and more, from the welcome hamper to beach and hot tub towels. This was an amazing getaway for our family, our two year old experienced the beach the first time and LOVED it. I would stay here again and I would highly recommend this place to others.
”Very much enjoyed our week in Longships. A very comfortable and well equipped holiday home less than 5 minutes walk from a stunning beach and the coastal path. The house is light, bright, warm and welcoming and every need is catered for.

”Our stay was lovely again! The biblical weather did not spoil it at all, in fact it was beautiful! Out every day knowing we were returning to our comfortable clean warm accommodation. The Perfect Stays company only have top quality on their books. The staff are helpful and friendly beyond measure. We have secured two more holidays with them! Thank you.
”A fabulous house in a fabulous position.
”Staying in Longships has been fabulous! We have rented holiday homes all around the world but have never found a house better equipt. Our every need has been met, we have been more than comfortable. Love it and don't want to go home, we will be back!
”A wonderful bolthole, stunning coastal path walks, fantastic beaches and plenty of fab places to eat. The extra touches (scones, clotted cream, milk, flowers, bacon and eggs, the list goes on) were a delight and made the property feel like home. Thank you.
”Thank you for a wonderful stay at Longships. Such a great place to stay. Lovely welcome pack on arrival, thank you. We will definitely be holidaying here again.
”Amazing accommodation! Amazing location and all dog friendly! The modern accommodation, interior and exterior was fabulous, the welcome goodies were such a lovely treat. Everything in the house had been thought of and was immaculate. A stones throw from the beach and some lovely coastal walks. Longships Hideaways was perfect and I would totally recommend. Perfect Stays is such a professional and helpful company to use. The concierge service they offer is fantastic! They really went the extra mile. Would recommend 100%. Will we be staying again? A very definite YES!
”What we love about the home is how warm, comfortable and luxurious it is. A beautiful welcome hamper met us after an 8 hour drive so the chocolates were a treat as well as the delicious bacon for breakfast the next morning with the fresh bread! The house is beautiful with comfortable furniture that is lovely to sink into after a long day. The dog friendly beach only 1 min walk was blissful for our dog Alfie and knowing that he could have a run around in a dog friendly gated backyard when he got back was just brilliant. The BBQ was a must for one of the hot days with a hammock in the back for after. Wonderful stay and wonderful people looking after the property.
