Sleeps 2 | Bedrooms 1 | Perranporth | Dog friendly
Delightfully tucked away from the main hustle and bustle, yet close enough to immerse yourself in activity when you want, The Folly is a superb little bolt hole just on the outskirts of Perranporth.

Beach Life
Perranporth boasts a beautiful three mile long sandy beach with undulating dunes, a tidal swimming pool built into the striking Chapel Rock, and rock pools that are perfect for paddling. Swim and surf in the big blue, explore caves and enjoy the space to stretch, run and breathe. Take a picnic for lazy hazy days in the dunes or take the dog and relish the three mile expanse of golden sand.
Culture and History
St Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall, is said to have washed up on Perranporth’s shores, and the remains of his 6th century oratory can still viewed in the dunes. Perranporth was the site for two tin mines in years gone by and the inspiration for Winston Graham’s Poldark novels which were all written here. High above the beach the millennium sundial tracks Cornish time (approximately 12 minutes later than GMT).
Food and Drink
From fine dining to fish and chips on the promenade, Perranporth has a wide array of food and drink, so you can treat yourself to time away from the kitchen. Share delicious tapas, try vegan street food, or enjoy great bar food in sunny gardens. Local takeaways include Indian, Chinese, Thai and pizza, and remember to leave room for an indulgent Cornish ice cream or post dinner local gin!
Get Active
The north coast of Cornwall is made for adventure. In addition to the wild playgrounds of the beaches there are also loads of organised activities available too. Book lessons with a surf school, gallop a horse along the beach, and play tennis at beautifully maintained grass and hard courts. There’s also a links golf course in the dunes, hang-gliding, a bowling green, children’s play park and boating lake.
Local Attractions
There’s plenty to see and do in the local area, without having to travel too far. Within a short drive of all our properties, visitors can pet farm animals and sample the local cyder at Healeys Cyder Farm, find out how ice cream is made (and of course treat yourself to some!) at Callestick Farm Cornish Ice Cream, and discover the ruins of St Piran’s Oratory in the sand dunes at Perranporth. Dairyland, with horse rides, farm animals, and a huge soft play area, is a great day out for families with young children, as is Lappa Valley Steam Railway with train rides and play park and exploring creatures of the deep at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium at Towan Beach.
Explore Cornwall
Slightly further afield is The Eden Project with its famous biomes, the National Trust houses of Lanhydrock, Trelissick and Trerice, and the spectacular gardens of Glendurgan, Trebah and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. From the rugged and dramatic north coast to the sheltered harbours of south coast fishing villages, everyone is bound to find a corner of Cornwall that captures their heart. Visit St Ives for cobbled streets and art galleries including the Tate St Ives, walk the causeway to St Michael’s Mount island off Marazion, and explore Falmouth’s fascinating maritime history. Padstow is a foodie’s heaven, while Truro boasts a stunning Gothic Revival cathedral and is the county’s shopping hub.

What our
Guests say
The Folly was very clean and cosy and had everything I needed, the kitchen was very well stocked. The property is a short walk into Perranporth beach by the winding river on the Saints way. Turn right out of the Folly, left at the bottom of the hill and left again under the railway arch.
I saw Phil the owner of the Folly working in the grooming parlour and he was always friendly and interested in my dogs and whether I was enjoying my holiday.
As I was alone it was nice to be nestled in-between properties but also very private.
In the property there are thoughtful pieces like the soft nightlight in the hallway.
I would not hesitate to book again when I next come to Cornwall
Mrs Clark
The Folly is a gorgeous property in a very quiet and private location, yet within easy reach of so many lovely beaches and villages. The property is very well appointed and comfortable and the lovely owners are very welcoming and helpful.
This was our first time staying at the Folly but it's the perfect place to relax and escape, with a lovely private and enclosed garden too, and we would highly recommend it - we can't wait to return there again!
Mrs Walton

We had a wonderful stay at The Folly it was decorated beautifully, we loved all the details. The Folly is well equipped and has a great collection of cooking essentials. The parking space was excellent as it meant we could explore other places. We saw Phil a few times he is lovely and always asked if we were ok and had everything we needed.
Thank you for a wonderful stay! We hope we can stay again.
Mrs Nicholds

Mrs Amos stayed 19th September 2023
The Folly is an oasis of calm and supremely comfortable cottage. Everything was perfect and it’s a great base for exploring Cornwall. Having air conditioning was an added bonus especially for summer holidays.
Mrs Gallie
Perfect for us the location as we had the dog with us the accommodation was clean modern and every you needed in there would highly recommend you won’t be disappointed
Mrs Kitaszewski stayed 13th June 2023
The Folly is quite a tardis and was much bigger than we anticipated. It was spotlessly clean and welcoming on arrival with a few treats for us to enjoy. The property is extremely well equipped has plenty of storage space and a very comfy bed. The air conditioning was really useful as it was quite hot and humid during our stay, it didn’t need to be on long to cool everywhere down. The garden is secure and the parking is a bonus. The location is ideal if you like some peace and quiet with the beach and town just over 1/2 a mile away. We would definitely stay again and will recommend it to our friends.
Mr Swift
Absolutely loved it perfect for the two of us and three dogs. Quirky. Very well equipped and clean. Views from the windows are lovely, pretty much home from home. The location is tranquil and yet a stones throw from Perranporth
Mrs Spenceley stayed 8th May 2023

AMAZING STAY
We stayed at the folly for just under to weeks, we have got to say its a fabulous little bolt hole with everything you need and more, we meet the owner and he is lovely. The beech is down the hill not too far at all.
Its real dog friendly inside and out, we could let our little sausage out on his own with no problems at all.
We already booked for 2 weeks next year can't wait.
Mr Nabi
We had a great week at the Folly. We loved the property and location just outside Perranporth. The Folly is a lovely building and suited us and our dog perfectly. Benjy gave the holiday 5 woofs out of 5.
Mrs Edwards
Very clean and tidy. Perfect location and very peaceful. Views are stunning. Everything we needed.
Mrs White stayed 14th August 2022
Lovely little accommodation in a peaceful location. Clean, light and modern with a lovely outlook. Lots of little extras around the property. I was really pleased that the garden area was fenced and secure for my young terrior. Enjoyed my short break very much and would definitely return.
