Home description
AWARDED 4* BY VISIT BRITAIN. Bear Cottage sleeps 6 + cot, is situated in a secluded village setting in Pentire Newquay Cornwell. The cottage has been sympathetically styled and constructed on a traditional Cornish fisherman’s cottage. Bezant Place is an idyllic setting away from the stresses of everyday life, with the pace set to slow; Bear Cottage is a stylish home from home and makes the perfect base for any holiday in Cornwall.
It is built on land formerly owned by The Duchy of Cornwall at the Western end of Newquay lying above the world famous Fistral beach. Access is easy. Newquay is only twelve miles from the A30 dual carriageway and there are several daily flights between Newquay, Dublin, Luton and Stansted. A perfectly positioned base for your ideal Cornish holiday.

The West Country / Cornwall region
Newquay has lots to offer all the family, from beautiful clean beaches to a superb zoo, from an aquarium to a varied night life. Bear Cottage is situated just above Fistral Beach - one of the best Cornish surfing beaches. You can book a surfing lesson at the British Surfing Association hut on the beach, and also hire surf boards, wet suits and body boards on the beach, or from many of the surf shops nearby. If surfing is not your thing, simply take a good book and a bottle of sun tan lotion with you and relax.
Also nearby, is beautiful Crantock Beach. Crantock is accessible via car or the Fern Pit Cafe at the top of Pentire headland (20 minutes walk from Bear Cottage) down some steep steps. At high tide a little privately owned boat takes you over the River Gannel to the beach for around 70p.
London is 300 miles while a bit closer to home the Cathedral city of Truro is just 15 miles. Well worth a visit is The Eden Project (16 miles) or take a trip to Land's End (42 miles). For some great fish restaurants then Padstow is just 15 miles.
Newquay, Cornwall / Fistral Beach area
Bear Cottage is located very close to Newquay Golf Club, making it the ideal base if you love golf. The golf club is a links course with fabulous views over Fistral Beach and the Atlantic. An abundance of bunkers plus the ever-present wind associated with a links course. Springy sandy based turf on most holes making for easy walking and good drainage making the course playable all year round. A challenge for the best of golfers. For more information tel: 01637 872 091.
Bear Cottage is open all year and is available for winter short breaks, Christmas, New Year and Easter. New Year in Newquay deserves a special mention. Everyone turns out in fancy dress to enjoy the celebrations: locals and visitors alike. Festivities start early evening with children and their parents parading through Bank Street. There is street entertainment and markets. As the evening goes on people flock the streets and harbour side of Newquay virtually all in fancy dress, anything from Nuns to Harry Potter. The atmosphere is one of high excitement and fun.
Early September Crantock has been the venue for the annual Big Bale Push. This competition has raised over £24,000 for key charities close to the heart of the local community.
The Big Bale Push is a fun event for all ages. The races are run in teams of four pushing a full-sized round bale of straw weighing approximately 420 lbs and measuring 4’ 6” in diameter over courses of differing length according to the class of race. The main course for the “180 veterans”, and “The Open” is run over a full quarter of a mile through the village, both up and down hill, starting and finishing between the two village pubs - “The Cornishman” and “The Old Albion” . www.crantockbalepush.com
