I love waking up to the morning sun in our 2nd bedroom.
A cozy living room with a grey sofa, yellow cushions, a wooden coffee table with a yellow mug, a stone fireplace, and a framed picture on the wall.
A dining area with a stone wall, white chairs, a table set with plates, and a hanging light fixture.
A row of white buildings with blue textured walls, a bench, and a car parked in front.
A neatly made bed with pillows, a bedside table with a lamp, and a window with curtains.

Gull Cottage was very well equipped and superbly located only 5 minutes walk from Towan Beach. It was a lovely touch to provide afternoon tea and dog beds, bowls and biscuits. It was easy to find and very comfortable with good contact south our hosts - I would thoroughly recommend this lovely accommodation

Great stay in a great location

My family and I had a great holiday, all thanks to choosing the right place and location. Karen was awesome, answering all my questions and really made it easy for us to check-in. The house was clean, well looked after and had everything we needed. The location is perfect, near the two beaches we wanted to be close to, as well as town. So all in all great place and we are hoping to be back soon.

Very charming and cute cottage.

Stayed here over the New Year period and had a lovely stay. The cottage is very charming, very well equipped and it's really a good size inside too. Nice and cozy and warm. The street was small and quiet and in a really good location in the centre of Newquay, but away from any noise, if any, at night time. We would look to stay again in the future. Amanda, Lancashire

Perfectly sited break in the best bit of Newquay

Had a great time in Oct half-term break here. Daughter walked to surf course at Fistral Beach, everything else a short walk out of the door. No parking, but the nearby long term parking car park was cheap and easy. Oh, and Sainsbury's literally opposite!

This cottage is listed as small but it was much bigger than expected and was perfect for 2adults, 2teenagers and a small dog. The kitchen had everything and was great for self catering. Literally behind the Main Street of Newquay but so quiet even at night. You can walk to all the beaches and Sainsbury’s just 30sec walk. We parked for the week up on the hill at Tregunnel car park (approx 10mins walk) for about £15 for 7days. Location was perfect and would definitely book again if visiting the area.

Epic location, and just lovely.

You can walk to the beach in seconds. The grocery store is across the street. Forget one thing from your recipe for dinner? No problem; walk across the street and you’ll be back before two shakes of a lambs tail. The place has a lovely beachy decoration theme, and a well appointed kitchen. Probably most valuable bit of info is this— my wife said she’d come back in a heart beat.
