Cool, calm and ever so laid back, The Lookout combines elegant interiors with quirky finishing touches. Overlooking a sweep of golden beach, embrace the serenity of coastal living at this seaside retreat.
Exuding style and elegance, The Lookout’s open plan living area is the pinnacle of the property. With pastel sofas, a crackling wood burner and an expanse of glass doors, there’s no better place to take in the view, whatever the weather.
On balmy summer days, spill out onto the terrace for invigorating yoga sessions, tapas lunches and evening drinks. And as night draws in, retreat to one of the whimsical hanging chairs and warm your toes by the fire. The perfect spot for stargazing, take to the ocean-view hot tub for a moment of peace and quiet before bed. Comprised of four bedrooms, The Lookout is ideal for groups of family and friends.
With stunning vistas across Mawgan Porth headland and the surrounding countryside, bedroom two opens onto a private wraparound deck. The playful bunk room is next door and bedroom three features lofty ceilings and unique panelling, creating a feeling of character and space. Nestled beneath sloping eaves, the final bedroom takes the penthouse position on the second floor. Looking out across rolling hills, the family bathroom features a magnificent freestanding bath.
Not far from the beach and on the edge of the South West Coast Path, spend salt-kissed days exploring the rugged North Cornwall coastline. If relaxation is on the cards, indulge in a pampering session at the acclaimed Scarlet and Bedruthan spas, set on the opposite headland. For laid back dining, head to one of Mawgan Porth’s beachside cafés or try out the locals’ favourite – Retorrick Mill. The foodie havens of Watergate Bay and Padstow are also just a quick drive away.

More about theGround Floor
Kitchen and Dining Room
With a fresh and contemporary feel, the kitchen and dining room is a laid back hub with garden views. Featuring a sleek kitchen island and dining table, there’s plenty of space for socialising while music plays through the SONOS speaker and industrial style light fittings hang overhead. A Krups coffee machine and Breville four berth toaster make for easy breakfast preparations, while the Rangemaster cooker and Neff microwave ensure dinner is taken care of. Subtly tucked away behind cream cupboards, two larder fridges and a Neff dishwasher complete the kitchen and sliding patio lead onto the garden.
Lounge
Subtly split into zones for fun and relaxation, embrace the bohemian lifestyle with a swing in the hanging chair or sink into a sumptuous sofa as a Netflix series plays on the Sony Smart TV. An expanse of bi-fold glass doors opens out onto the decked terrace, welcoming in the view across Mawgan Porth Beach. Come night-time, with your favourite album playing through the Alexa-enabled SONOS speaker, cosy up beside the wood burner or take to the telescope for a spot of stargazing above the sea.
Terrace
Accessed through the bi-fold doors in the lounge, the glass-fronted terrace invites sociable meals with a view. A large outdoor dining table seats up to eight guests, while a duo of rattan sofas are perfect for catching up over evening drinks.
Snug
A rustic-inspired hideaway designed for cosy nights in, the snug looks onto the terrace and rolling hills beyond. Featuring a crackling log burner, a bold blue sofa and Cornish slate underfoot, it’s a riot of texture and warmth. With Netflix, Sky and a Blu-ray DVD player, the Sony Smart TV sits in front of a soft knit bean bag while overhead, eye catching wooden panelling commands the room in rich earthy tones.
Utility and WC
Housing a Hotpoint washing machine and tumble drier and a Neff larder freezer, the utility has plenty of space for stowing away beach equipment and groceries. There’s a convenient WC next door.

Bedroom Two with Terrace and En-suite
A gorgeous king size room with sea and beach views, this relaxing space features soft pink interiors, a wall mounted flat screen Smart TV with Netflix and Sky, plus its own private terrace. A spacious dressing area sits tucked around the corner and provides hanging space in abundance. Brave the chill on crisp, cold mornings and tiptoe out onto the private terrace to soak up views across the beach, or sunbathe the afternoon away on a sun lounger. Accented by grey geometric tiles, the spacious en-suite features a walk-in shower with waterfall head.
Bedroom Three with En-suite
With a zip and link bed providing the option of a super king or twins, bedroom three enjoys rippling views across the Cornish countryside. A subtle Aztec design weaves its way through the interiors, while a flat screen Smart TV sits nestled against the wall, complete with Sky and Netflix. On either side of the bed, a dressing room and en-suite are cleverly concealed, and both flooded with light from the Velux above. The en-suite benefits from a walk-in shower and unique textured sink, with muted cream tiles bringing an air of sophistication.
Bedroom Four
A playful bunk room with beach views over Mawgan Porth, this bright and breezy bedroom is a wonderful den for younger guests. Timber-clad bunk beds bring a unique industrial edge, while the sofa is perfectly positioned for taking in the view. There’s plenty of storage inside the mirrored wardrobes, and geometric soft furnishings bring an extra splash of fun.

Clad in delicate grey tones, the family bathroom overlooks gently rolling fields as far as the eye can see. A freestanding rolltop bath commands the space, while bold pendent lighting and geometric tiles underfoot bring style and personality in abundance.

Garden
With a sea-view terrace to the front and an elevated lawn to the side of the house, there’s plenty of outdoor space for groups to spread out in. Peel back the sliding doors for breezy summer lunches cooked on the gas barbeque, take a seat at the dining table on the terrace, or host family picnics on the grass after a dip in the hot tub. After sandy days at the beach, there’s a handy outdoor shower in the courtyard at the front of the house.
Parking
The undercover parking bays provide enough space to park up to two cars at The Lookout, while an electric car charging socket is located closeby in the log store. If you're heading down to Mawgan Porth Beach, we'd recommend driving rather than walking as the narrow roads aren't necessarily pedestrian-friendly.
Hot Tub
Tucked into a quiet corner of the terrace, the cedar clad hot tub* looks out across Mawgan Porth. With country views to one side and sprawling beach vistas to the other, bubble away the evenings after long walks on the beach.
