Set on the Pentire headland in Newquay, Samphire is a beautifully positioned coastal retreat with far-reaching views across the River Gannel towards the golden sands of Crantock Beach.


With the estuary, sea and open sky unfolding before you, this peaceful setting offers the perfect place to slow down, switch off and reconnect with the rhythm of the coast.


Located at the gable end of the wooden-clad Pavilions in one of Pentire’s most sought-after spots, Samphire combines a calm, tucked-away feel with effortless access to the very best of Cornwall’s north coast.


Inside, thoughtful interiors, generous open-plan living spaces and private outdoor areas create a relaxed yet refined base for families, couples or small groups seeking comfort, style and spectacular coastal scenery. The patio leads onto a private lawn, offering space for children to play or a peaceful place to unwind while taking in the surrounding views.


A private side gate leads down towards the communal riverside area and shoreline, making it easy to embrace life by the water whenever the mood takes you. Days can be spent walking the coast path, exploring nearby beaches, dining in excellent restaurants or heading into Newquay’s vibrant town centre, just a short stroll away.


Whether you are watching the tide shift across the Gannel, heading out for a beach day at Crantock or returning from a sunset supper by the sea, Samphire offers a wonderfully peaceful escape in a truly special corner of Newquay.


An exquisite location; quiet and incredibly peaceful. The property was very clean, especially the kitchen and its contents. It was very comfortable.

Step Inside

This reverse-level, two-storey home has been thoughtfully designed for comfort, calm and effortless coastal living.


Inside, cool neutral tones create a soothing backdrop, while statement artwork inspired by the drama of the surrounding coastline brings depth, character and a strong sense of place.


On the first floor, two beautifully appointed bedrooms offer restful spaces to retreat after days spent exploring the coast.


The primary bedroom enjoys views towards the sea and features a contemporary en suite shower room, while the second bedroom offers a super king zip-and-link bed, providing flexible accommodation for families, couples or friends travelling together.


A beautifully finished family bathroom with Villeroy & Boch fixtures completes this floor, adding a refined touch to the home’s calm and contemporary feel.


A central staircase leads down to the open plan living, dining and kitchen space, where generous proportions, natural light and large double doors create an easy flow to the private outdoor areas.


In summer, this bright and sociable space opens beautifully to the fresh sea air, while in cooler months it becomes a cosy haven for relaxed evenings after windswept walks and beach adventures.


The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for easy holiday cooking, whether you are preparing a quick breakfast before the beach or a relaxed supper to enjoy together at the end of the day.


Outside, a paved patio with all-weather dining furniture provides a lovely spot for morning coffee, alfresco meals or a quiet drink as the day slows down.


The patio leads onto a private lawn, offering space for children to play or a peaceful place to unwind while taking in the surrounding views.


A private side gate leads down towards the communal riverside area and shoreline, making it easy to embrace life by the water whenever the mood takes you.


After sandy beach days or salty swims, the boat-themed outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off, while a private surf store beside the property provides secure space for wetsuits, boards and beach equipment.


On Your Doorstep

From this enviable position on Pentire, Samphire places you between two of north Cornwall’s most beautiful coastal landscapes: the wild Atlantic shoreline and the gentler waters of the River Gannel.


The South West Coast Path winds close by, leading along dramatic clifftops with sweeping views across the estuary and out to sea, perfect for morning walks, fresh-air adventures and golden-hour sunsets.


The beautiful sands of Crantock Beach lie just across the river and can be reached via the footbridge at low tide, or by seasonal passenger ferry during the warmer months.


With wide golden sands, rolling dunes and calm estuary waters, Crantock is one of Cornwall’s most beautiful beaches, perfect for long beach days, paddleboarding, picnics and sunset strolls along the shore.


A short walk in the opposite direction brings you to legendary Fistral Beach, the UK’s surfing capital, where beach cafés, surf schools and ocean-view restaurants create a vibrant, laid-back coastal atmosphere.


For food lovers, Samphire is perfectly placed to explore Cornwall’s celebrated culinary scene, with the much-loved Fern Pit Café just a short stroll away, perched above the estuary and renowned for its fresh seafood and relaxed waterside setting.


Nearby, Lewinnick Lodge offers spectacular Atlantic views and seasonal coastal dining, while Newquay’s growing collection of restaurants, cafés and bars is just minutes away.


Further afield, Padstow makes a memorable foodie day out, while Watergate Bay is also well worth a visit for its sweeping beach, surf culture and outstanding restaurants overlooking the Atlantic.


Whether your days are spent walking the coast path, discovering golden beaches, enjoying long lunches by the sea or watching the sunset after a day on the sand, Samphire offers a wonderfully placed base from which to experience the very best of north Cornwall.
