After watching reality documentaries like escape to the country and similar in the early 00’s we decided we’d like a piece of that actions! In the dark and dismal Oct of 2006 we started our search, flying to and from Essex to Newquay. After a particularly frantic yet unfruitful trek up and down the Cornish highways, it was with heavy hearts that we headed back to the airport. BUT…en route we had a call that another property had just come on the Market. Could we view, would we make it in time?… Well you know the answer to that question!! Fate played its part and on St Patricks day 2007 we moved in! We’ve spent the past 15years raising a family and growing our business here at the Edgcumbe. A real family affair, 3 siblings, a couple of spouses and a few children too. We love to have a hands on approach, so you will no doubt meet most the family whilst you stay! Did I mention the blind Spaniel and the Pug?? They sometimes make an unauthorised appearance too! We all have a love affair with the water and the great outdoors, from surfing and cold water dipping, to hiking and exploring. #lovewhereyoulive. We hope you do to.

The Edgcumbe Hotel is in an enviable elevated position where coast meets countryside. Nestled between not one but two amazing popular surf beaches, on the edge of the coast path, and a stones throw from the town centre with it’s mix of independen Artisan shops.
