Red Cove, Mawgan Porth
A clifftop home built around one extraordinary reveal: a corridor that opens onto the whole of the Atlantic.

— About the film
Red Cove sits low on the cliff above Mawgan Porth, built from Cornish clay, Trebarwith slate and charred timber so it settles into the headland. From the drive you see almost none of the sea; then the front door opens onto a wall of glass and the whole bay arrives at once. The film is built around that arrival.
We shot it over one long summer day and let the sun set the schedule: the bedrooms and the first-floor suite in the morning light, the open-plan kitchen and living space through the afternoon, then the covered terrace, the heated pool and the hot tub as the light dropped towards the sea.
Inside, the camera moves on a gimbal at walking pace, so the rooms open up in the order a guest finds them. Outside, the drone shows the tiered garden of heather and wildflowers, the gate onto the coast path and the beach below. Newquay Airport is close by, so every flight was cleared with air traffic control.
It is a house for groups, with five bedrooms, a sauna and a gym, and a surfer's set-up by the door. The film now leads its page on the Perfect Stays website and runs across their social channels.
