3 Bed Apartment in Watergate Bay

About this property

This three-bedroom first-floor apartment overlooks Watergate Bay on the North Cornwall coast, with two private balconies offering panoramic views across the bay and out to sea. Ideal for families, couples, and surf enthusiasts, the spacious, light-filled apartment provides a coastal base with genuine year-round appeal. Watergate Bay Beach stretches for 2 miles of sand, popular with surfers drawn to the exposed Atlantic swell. Water sports lessons, including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and kitesurfing, are available from the shore. The coast path runs in both directions, with routes to Newquay’s seven bays (3.5 miles) one way and Mawgan Porth (2 miles) the other, ranging from long rambles to shorter clifftop walks. Music festivals and surf competitions bring energy to the bay throughout the year. Superfast broadband makes the apartment well suited to working-away weeks, with longer stays welcomed for those looking to combine work with time by the coast.

Accessed on the first floor via internal stairs — please note there is no lift in the building — the apartment opens into a hallway with a large storage cupboard and washer/dryer. The open-plan living area features a bay window and patio doors opening onto a private balcony with views over the gardens, hills, and out to sea. Two sofas, an armchair, and a coffee table are arranged around a fireplace with an oak mantelpiece, complemented by statement Tom Raffield lighting. A Smart TV sits in the sitting area. Beyond, a dining table seating eight has its own set of patio doors leading onto a second furnished balcony — a sheltered spot for al fresco dining. The master bedroom has a king-size four-poster bed, a Smart TV, and fantastic views, with an en-suite shower room featuring a rainfall shower and WC. A second bedroom offers a zip-and-link bed configurable as twin or super-king-size, plus a Smart TV and further sea views. The third bedroom is furnished with twin beds and a Smart TV. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC serves the remaining bedrooms.

The two private balconies are furnished with a sofa, dining table, and sun loungers. Landscaped gardens of around an acre, shared with other guests in the development, include lawns, seating areas, and a BBQ area. A footpath winds through the gardens and leads down to the beach via a slipway. A surf shower and secure beach kit storage are also shared with other guests. Private parking is available for one car, with additional unallocated guest parking.
