Gardens and Grounds
The magical gardens are designed by Mary Reynolds, Gold Medal winner at the Chelsea Flower Show and are a joy to explore.
Wrapped up in blankets, toasting marshmallows and singing Kumbayah along to the guitar all gathered around the large fire pit in the garden, summer and winter evenings are made for moments like this with your nearest and dearest.
The Cedar Wood Hot Tub has stunning views and is perfect for enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine and your friends and family.
Outside there is an outdoor shower for those returning from shrimping, or playing below on the estuary.
Living Spaces
At The Slate Beach House enjoy sunsets over Padstow from the sitting room or watch the moon come up from the roof terrace.
Savour the most fantastic views while you dine outside on the South facing rooftop terrace. With a large dining table seating up to 18 people as well as a sofa and bean bags for cosy nights enjoy a meal to remember. Fire up the Barbecue for rooftop al fresco dining.
The state of the art multi media room is the perfect backdrop for a family movie night. Complete with large LCD flat screen TV with surround sound system and a huge collection of DVDs.
The stunning open plan living area is on the second floor to make the most of the setting and is glazed to give a 360 degree view of the estuary and country side. The nearest house is over 1km away, so there is nothing to obstruct the beautiful scenery.
If you fancy pumping some iron during your stay at the Slate Beach House there is no need to go anywhere, you will have your very own private gym to make the most of and work up a sweat.
The house is fully geared up for watersports with a handy wet room with plunge bath for the wetsuits and a separate area for the laundry

What people say
Crabs, cliffs and coastline
A beach for every day of the week and a new activity each time. Sail the estuary, drop a crabline into the harbour, ride the waves, coasteer the cliffs or canoe the Camel. Pedal the Camel Trail, get lost in the gardens at Heligan or visit Rick’s for the ultimate takeaway.
