Welcome to The Island
Imagine being able to live on your own private island with panoramic views of the ocean. Sounds like a mere fantasy? On The Island your hideaway dream can become a reality. Recently reopened after a major renovation, this nautical bolthole is perched above Towan Beach in Newquay, on the beautiful and dramatic north coast of Cornwall. Privacy is guaranteed on The Island as the only access is by your own private suspension footbridge. As George Clarke said when he came across the bouncing bridge: "Oh my God, that’s just staggering. What a way to enter a house!"
Your first tentative steps along this spectacular, award-winning bridge are just the beginning of the adventure that awaits you on The Island. Relax, knowing that it will be exclusively yours for a long weekend, mid-week break, or longer stay of a week or two giving you time to explore beautiful Cornwall.
As soon as you cross the bridge, with its breath-taking beach and sea views, you leave the rest of the world behind. Step off the bridge into a hidden garden wrapped around the house, masked from the outside world by a border of greenery. This enchanting place provides sea views to the far horizon and a roaring ocean symphony, creating a secret haven.
The house sleeps a maximum of six people in three bedrooms. After coming across the bridge, raise your flag of choice to announce your arrival, then explore! The house has plenty of space for everyone to relax and have fun, including a conservatory and your own bar room. Despite its size the house also works well as a private hideaway for a couple. Immerse yourself in the magic of this special place and you will see why so many guests say they don’t want to leave…
The Island is securely fenced and suitable for children and dogs. All the large sandy beaches below The Island are dog-friendly, all year round.
Our 15+ month renovation was only made possible by a large number of talented and dedicated people. Too many to list everyone here, we just want to mention our wonderful builders and architects, without whom we could not have done this challenging project to such a high standard:
Architects: Will Gamble Architects
Building contractors: RKH Construction Ltd
