Exceptional golf, just moments away

A golfer’s paradise

Golf enthusiasts are well catered for, with several outstanding courses close by. Trevose Golf & Country Club sits just minutes from Martha’s Reach and is widely regarded as one of the finest golf clubs in the South West, with a championship course that rewards players of all abilities. Further afield, St Enodoc offers one of the most scenic and celebrated golfing experiences in the country.

The South West Coast Path passes close by, opening up some of the most dramatic coastal walking in Britain. The stretch around Trevose Headland is particularly spectacular, with sweeping views, hidden coves and an ever-changing seascape. Inland, a network of quiet country lanes and footpaths winds through the Cornish countryside, perfect for leisurely walks at your own pace.

Take to the water

North Cornwall is renowned for its surf, and the beaches around Trevose Headland are among the finest on the Atlantic coast. Constantine Bay, Booby’s Bay and Treyarnon are all within easy reach, offering excellent conditions for surfing, bodyboarding and sea swimming. For something a little calmer, the Camel Estuary provides ideal waters for kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing, with tuition and equipment hire available locally.

Ride & roam

North Cornwall is a wonderful cycling county, with quiet lanes, coastal tracks and off-road trails to suit all abilities. The Camel Trail is a particular highlight — a traffic-free route following the River Camel from Bodmin to Padstow, suitable for all the family and offering beautiful estuary views along the way. Bike hire is available locally, making it easy to set off and explore at your own pace.

Rest & restore

Martha’s Reach is, at its heart, a place to slow down and restore. Several local studios offer yoga, pilates and mindfulness sessions, while spa facilities and treatments can be found at a number of venues within easy reach. For those who prefer to stay closer to home, the peace and space of the retreat itself provides the perfect setting for a quieter kind of wellbeing.

When the tide goes out

The beaches around Trevose Headland are a natural playground at any tide. When the water retreats, a fascinating world of rock pools, sea creatures and coastal wildlife reveals itself — endlessly absorbing for curious minds of all ages. Whether you’re exploring the shoreline, building sandcastles or simply taking a long walk at the water’s edge, the coast is always close and always rewarding.

Whatever the time of year, there is always something to draw you outside.
