Working and Walking From the Beach

Whether you are working remotely full time, blending work with holiday time, or simply looking for a change of scenery, Harlyn Bay Cottage provides a unique and refreshing working environment. The trend towards extended coastal working breaks continues.

Many guests now choose to take advantage of flexible working by enjoying midweek coastal stays or longer off-season breaks. With superfast broadband (up to 500 Mbps), Harlyn Bay Cottage is perfect for combining remote working with coastal living. We have the speed set for 100 Mpbs but, for a small additional fee, that can rise to up to 500 Mpbs - just give a minimum 1 month notice please. It's worth noting almost all cottages & houses in the area only offer 1 to 3 Mpbs by comparison.

Out-of-Season Holidays

Harlyn Bay is not just a summer destination. Many returning guests prefer visiting during spring, autumn and winter for:

• Peaceful coastal walks
• Cycling the Camel Trail
• Golf at Trevose
• Wave watching and storm watching
• Easier restaurant reservations
• Excellent surfing conditions

Surfing the Web or surfing the waves - choose superfast broadband or hire winter wetsuits and surf equipment from the beach.

Work From Home… or Work From Harlyn Bay Cottage

With our superfast broadband (100 to 500 Mbps) Harlyn Bay Cottage is perfectly set up for remote working by the sea. If your job offers flexibility, why not swap your usual home office for a luxury coastal workspace for a week or longer?

Imagine starting your day with a peaceful beach walk or coffee from The Beach Box, logging on to work with fast and reliable internet, then finishing the day with a surf, coastal walk or dinner in Padstow. It's the perfect balance between productivity and relaxation.

Out of peak season, Harlyn Bay becomes even more special. The beaches are quieter, restaurants are easier to book, and the coastline offers a calm and inspiring environment that many guests find helps them switch off from everyday routines while still staying connected professionally.

A Typical 'Work From Harlyn' Day

Start the morning with a sunrise stroll along Harlyn Bay or a quick coffee from one of the nearby beach cafés.
Return to the cottage and log on with superfast broadband in the comfortable open-plan living space.
Break up the day with a lunchtime beach walk, a paddle in the sea or simply lunch in the courtyard garden.
After finishing work, explore the coastal path, enjoy sunset views across the bay or head into Padstow or St Merryn for dinner.

It's a lifestyle that combines productivity, wellbeing and relaxation in a way that traditional working environments simply can't match.
