Sea Chimes

Sea Chimes is set within the striking Corisande Manor, enjoying a beautiful waterside position overlooking the River Gannel and the coast beyond.

Arranged over two floors, this stylish home has been thoughtfully refurbished and interior designed with luxury, comfort and relaxed coastal living in mind.

Once inside, a central hallway leads through to the open plan living, dining and kitchen space, where full-height glass doors perfectly frame the ever-changing coastal views.

Bright pops of orange and turquoise in the furnishings and fabrics bring a vibrant, uplifting feel to the interiors, while carefully chosen artwork captures the energy of the sea and the surrounding landscape.

The modern kitchen is a joy to cook in, and with such fabulous views as your backdrop, dining at home feels every bit as special as eating out.

With Newquay fast becoming a haven for artisan Cornish food, from delis to French patisserie, there is plenty of local inspiration for creating a memorable holiday menu.

Sink into the comfortable seating area for a quiet afternoon watching the ebb and flow of life on the river, or gather as a group for pre-dinner cocktails and long-overdue conversation.

On the ground floor, two spacious bedrooms and two contemporary bathrooms offer comfort and ease, while a practical utility area provides the perfect place to store beach kit after sandy days and surf sessions.

A central staircase leads to the first floor, where the principal bedroom and further sitting room create a wonderfully flexible upper level.

The principal bedroom feels worthy of a boutique hotel, with bespoke furniture, a fresh blue and white palette and a private balcony set high above the River Gannel.

The additional sitting room offers a superb space for children to spread out and play, or for families to hunker down together on the sofas and enjoy a favourite film on the cinema-style Smart TV.

Slide back the full-height glass doors and step out onto the spacious balcony at Sea Chimes, where the views instantly draw you towards the water and the wild beauty of the North Cornwall coast.

A large dining table and chairs invite alfresco living from hearty breakfasts in the morning light to relaxed post-surf suppers, while the comfortable outdoor sofas are made for lazy afternoons with a good book and the sound of the river below.

The tidal waters of the River Gannel are famed for their striking azure hues, creating an almost Caribbean-like backdrop to your stay and bringing a wonderful sense of calm and colour to every moment outdoors.

From the balcony, you can look across towards the surf and golden sands of Crantock, watching the landscape shift beautifully with the tide throughout the day.

A side gate leads from the balcony down to the landscaped communal gardens of Corisande Manor, where guests are welcome to wander, with a pathway continuing down towards the banks of the river.

With a superb Newquay location, Sea Chimes makes it easy to embrace the coast at your own pace, whether that means catching the waves before breakfast or setting out along the South West Coast Path for a fresh-air adventure.

Some of Cornwall’s best beaches are within easy reach, including Fistral Beach, Crantock Bay across the Gannel, Towan Beach in Newquay, and the much-loved shores of Porth, Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth just a short drive away.

This vibrant stretch of coast is also home to some fantastic places to eat, from the sea-view terrace at Lewinnick Lodge just moments from your holiday door to the relaxed dining scene around Fistral Beach, including Rick Stein’s fish and chips and The Stable for cider and pizza.

From this enviable waterside setting, Cornwall is yours to explore with ease, whether you are chasing surf, discovering beaches, dining by the sea or simply returning to the balcony to watch the colours change over the Gannel.
