Sydney House
Praa Sands

£1166 - £3069 per week
Book

New for 2024 is the immaculately presented, Sydney House, a contemporary, Cornish beach house that sleeps up to eight guests, ideal for a break with the extended family on the water's edge. With a cleverly landscaped garden and wood fired hot tub, during summer months, you'll find yourself dining al fresco most evenings gathered around the custom-built pizza oven, enjoying conversation that continues long after the sun has set. Here you will find a house for all seasons, open the double doors, and bring the outside in, on summer days, whilst in winter, gather the family to storm-watch by the roaring woodburner.

Sydney House is a modern styled home with comfortable accommodation and coastal views from most rooms. If you can tear yourself away, then you are just a stone's throw from the historic Pengersick Castle and a short walk from the unspoilt sweeping sandy beach at Praa Sands, with year-round surf and far-reaching views, for creating those seaside, bucket and spade memories that will last a lifetime. Spend long summer days exploring the surrounding beaches, paths and coves, or visit nearby St Michael's Mount, Porthleven, Penzance and St Ives. From the glass-fronted living area, to the imaginatively designed outdoor living space, Sydney House will see all guests leave with inspired minds, and glowing skin.

Holidays in Praa Sands

With one mile of white gold sand, which looks almost tropical in the sunshine, Praa Sands provides an idyllic setting for a Cornish holiday. The beach is ideal for family picnics, sandcastle building, beach games and paddling, and the waves are great for surfers and bodyboarders. Praa Sands beach is surrounded by stunning coastal walks, with breathtaking views of Penzance, Mount’s Bay and The Lizard Peninsula.

Great surf and surf hire facilities are on your doorstep along with the coast path and spectacular scenery. Read about surfing in Praa Sands on our blog: Ten of the best surf spots in Cornwall.

Praa Sands’ nine-hole golf course is only minutes away, or for those who prefer a bit of history, Pengersick Castle is a short walk away where there are plenty of stories about the wrecking and smuggling that took place in the bay until the 18th century. Right on the beach is Sandbar, a modern and bright restaurant/bar with magnificent views across the ocean.

What a beautiful property! Excellent location and everything was to the highest standard.

A fabulous, bright home within easy distance of a great sandy beach. Really well equipped with lots of kids’ games as a nice surprise. We were very lucky to have some lovely sunny days and make full use of the delightful outside space.

Sydney House was very impressive. Inside it has been finished to a very high standard and it was very comfortable. We had a marvelous time here and the games and books that were available were an added bonus. The outside area is great with the hot tub and the pizza oven. My daughters and grandchildren even had fun making their own pizzas. The small summer house was a favorite of the grandchildren. I would recommend this house to anyone.
