Why You'll Love... Watergate Bay

Breathtaking beaches and fine food

- Lydia Hawken

Nothing beats a laid-back holiday on the Cornish coast. We stayed in a beautiful eco-cottage in Newquay’s Watergate Bay, where you could watch the sun set over the sea from the comfort of the sofa.

What to do

The best thing about a beach holiday is that it gives you licence to be as lazy as you want. I chose to relax by reading novel after novel on the balcony overlooking the beach – the perfect spot for sunbathing if the weather is favourable.
