Truly spectacular, Pentyak is a Grand Design-style holiday home like no other. As featured in The Times’ 30 Best Multi-Generational Holidays, this stunning hideaway has been designed with families in mind, and is the ultimate fun house for all ages.
With incredible sea views over Harlyn Bay, Pentyak has been finished to an exceptionally high standard. Each and every element has been carefully considered: from the floor-to-ceiling, angled non-glare windows that drench the open plan ground floor in natural light, to the sleek, contemporary furnishings and designed light fittings.
Children will fall in love with Pentyak’s wonderfully quirky features, from the wooden stair slide backed by a wall of stars to the cosy den, complete with portholes and bunk beds. Outside, they are free to run wild in the enclosed garden and will spend happy days playing in the custom-built treehouse and bouncing on the sunken trampoline.
Sleeping up to fourteen guests, three of the five bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, making this an ideal property for elderly relatives or guests with limited mobility. With huge floor-to-ceiling doors opening onto a private terrace, the master bedroom provides a tranquil haven for quiet moments away from the group.
The golden sands of Harlyn Bay are right on Pentyak’s doorstep and the popular Harlyn Surf School offer anything from private lessons to kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and coasteering.
Rick Stein’s dog-friendly Cornish Arms is just a walk over the fields and the foodie capital of Padstow is a short drive away. Surrounded by beautiful beaches and rolling countryside, this really is the pinnacle of family holiday homes.

More about theGround Floor
Open Plan Kitchen, Living and Dining Area
Pentyak’s modern kitchen has been equipped to the highest of standards. A five-ring gas Rangemaster complete with hot plate, double oven and grill cooks large family meals to perfection, while a separate Neff oven and grill add extra flexibility. Two fridge-freezers plus a separate fridge built into the modern island provide plenty of food storage in the kitchen, while the walk-in larder is perfect for extra groceries. Take a seat at the dining table with a coffee from the Nespresso coffee machine, or peel open the bi-fold doors to welcome the breeze from the garden. The kitchen is also equipped with two dishwashers and a Quooker boiling water tap.
The star of the room has to be the meticulously stacked slate fireplace housing the wood burning stove. Take to the sofa on moody winter evenings and warm your hands as the fire flickers, or cosy into a plush bean bag as your favourite Blu-ray echoes through the Sonos sound systems from the flat screen Smart TV, complete with BT vision. Thoughtful interior details tie everything in this space together: the low-slung designer lighting, the wooden slide running alongside the stairs and twinkling diode-lit wall, and the cleverly slanted windows that maximise the view across Harlyn Bay.
Den
Separate from the main living areas and featuring a large flat screen TV, the den doubles up as a great children’s playroom. Take to the bean bags and challenge friends to a game on the Xbox One, or watch as the little ones bounce on the trampoline just outside. Benefiting from its own en-suite, as well as a double bed and single bunk for additional sleeping space, the den is ideal for younger guests.
Bedroom One with En-Suite
The first of two master bedrooms, this enormous ground floor room comprises a super king size zip and link bed, with the versatile option to be a twin. The expansive sliding doors reveal beautiful sea views, while the private patio area just outside is perfect for early morning breakfasts. All the while, a rustic chest of drawers and a large built-in wardrobe maximise storage space.
The incredible en-suite is as impressive as the room itself, with an elegant roll-top bath, ‘his and hers’ sinks and a spacious walk-in rainfall shower.
Bedroom Two
Bedroom two is a bright, calm bedroom with a super king size zip and link bed, which gives the added versatility of a twin room. With views of the treehouse at the front of the property, it’s a great room for guests with limited mobility. A pair of rustic side tables add to the clean and classic design, while a built-in wardrobe provides plenty of storage.
Bedroom Three
Bedroom three is almost identical to bedroom two and located right next door. A super king size zip and link bed provides great versatility, and there’s ample storage space in the built-in wardrobe.
Family Bathroom
Complete with a deep sunken tub, a large walk-in rainfall shower and his and hers sinks, the family bathroom is effortlessly elegant. Located just outside bedrooms two and three, it’s a brilliant fit for a family or two couples, with an additional cloakroom next door.
Utility Room
With external access to both the front of the house and the garden, this large room with underfloor heating is great for returning from long walks along the coast. There’s plenty of storage space for outdoor gear and luggage, as well as a washing machine and tumble dryer.
More about theFirst Floor
Bedroom Four with En-Suite
This is a great space for children, additional adults in the group or parents with young children wishing to share a room. The flexible zip and link beds can be set up as three singles or a super king and a single, while the low lofted roof and gable window welcome plenty of soft natural light.
The gorgeous en-suite bathroom is tiled from floor to ceiling in unusual wood effect tiles and features a large walk-in shower.
Bedroom Five with En-suite
With its far-reaching sea views, private balcony and spacious en-suite, bedroom five is a luxurious hideaway of its own. Featuring a king size bed, wake each morning to beautiful ocean vistas before tiptoeing onto the private balcony for coffee and croissants. Enhanced by an entire gable wall of glass, this room is fresh and spacious. Built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage for holiday essentials, while a pair of armchairs provide a cosy spot to rest a while.
The en-suite bathroom houses a large walk-in shower and his and hers sinks, while lofty ceilings invite plenty of natural light.
More about theExterior
Garden
Pentyak has a fantastic landscaped garden, gently sloping away from the wraparound terrace towards the expansive lawn. A sunken trampoline will provide hours of fun for children and adults alike, while sleepy dogs lounge on the grass after long coastal walks.
Terrace
The paved terrace wraps around the whole of the property, with plenty of seating and sun loungers for truly making the most of the outdoor space. A large dining table provides a lovely spot for lunch cooked on the gas barbeque, enjoying rolling sea views beyond the garden. With a handy shower just outside, the terrace provides direct access into the utility room – perfect after a day on the beach. To the side of the house, guests will find sinks and plenty of storage for bikes and surf gear.
Tree House
Tucked away within the trees of the parking area sits an impressive hand-built tree house that’s sure to appeal to everyone’s inner child. Kids will love setting up a den inside with blankets and a picnic.
Parking
An enormous gravel driveway provides more than enough parking for eight cars. If you're heading down to the golden sands of Harlyn Bay, we'd recommend driving rather than walking as the narrow roads aren't necessarily pedestrian-friendly.

Local Area
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
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.

I just wanted to say a big "thank you" to you for all your help with the arrangements for our stay at Pentyak. We had an amazing week. The house is stunning and the view wonderful, none of us wanted to leave. Even my 4 year old grandson Alfie said he wanted to stay forever!
”We had an amazing time at Pentyak from the moment we got to the property until leaving. It is the most beautiful house and we felt honoured to be allowed our family holiday there. We often stay in holiday houses and this has to be by far the best!
”A wonderful happy house - so well equipped and super comfortable. Would have no hesitation in recommending Pentyak to others. Thank you to Perfect Stays for delivering to the letter!
”As soon as we stepped into the house the views down to Harlyn take your breath away! Pentyak did not disappoint, neither did the weather! Precious family time celebrating the grandparents 80th. Walks to Padstow, wine tastings, The Cornish Arms, swims in Harlyn Bay. Glorious sunrises and sunsets! Wildflowers in bloom and fresh sea air... Cornwall re-charged our batteries and we did not want to leave...
”Here for the second time and the house was just as fantastic as the first time. We've seen the view in all weather - sun, sea, storm, high winds and rain! We love the layout, everyone included all the time. Great views, great venue, great time had by all.
”We stayed at Pentyak near Harlyn Bay Beach. The house is just stunning. Wonderfully spacious and with the most incredible view down over the beach. The house was very well equipped.
”We had a wonderful stay in this beautifully appointed, family orientated house. There are many fun features for children, lots of corners and cushions for playing, stories, snuggling up etc. The view is stunning! I would happily recommend it to anyone.
”Staying at Pentyak truly lived up to our expectations. The accommodation was as described and we found the property in a spotless condition. The view from the property encompasses the whole of Harlyn Bay and we found it possible to walk to the main beach area in 15 to 20 minutes. With three fridges and two washing machines plus extensive storage, the property was ideal for our large family group.
”Another great holiday at Pentyak. This is our 3rd time at the house and we have booked for next year. We never tire of the view or the great facilities and with so much space everyone can have time and space to themselves. The local beaches are similarly great though Padstow can get a bit too busy! The price of success... We also appreciate the helpful staff at Perfect Stays - always friendly and keen to help. Looking forward to next year already.
”Simply unmatched. Certainly in UK, possibly on earth. Perfect Stays is quite possibly the best of its kind…ever. Yes the houses are breathtakingly stunning. Yes the locations bring tears to any hardened five star traveller… but the staff is simply the best. NOTHING but complete praise for them. Lindsay is another level. She became part of my staff before, during and after our stay at Pentyak and nothing was too much trouble. She followed up with me and knew what I needed before I knew. Not something one can say often in these parts. Well done Perfect Stays. Very well done.
”The whole family, aged between 72 and 2, were delighted to stay at Pentyak. It has so much open plan space but several different areas for different activities. The big hits with the children were the stair slide, garden trampoline and den, complete with large screen (and fridge)! The kitchen was extremely well equipped, so many dishwashers, fridges and ovens etc.- bedrooms were large and airy and we had a wonderful view of the bay. A light show ensued every night in my efforts to turn on the bedside lamp but it was fun! A relaxing house, lovely to return to at the end of the day.
