The Neighborhood:

Newquay is one of Cornwall's most popular seaside destinations, offering a fantastic mix of golden beaches, coastal walks, excellent food and a laid-back surf culture. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, there's something here for everyone.



Great Western Beach and Tolcarne Beach are both within easy reach and are ideal for swimming, surfing and soaking up the sun. Each has its own beach bar at the bottom of the cliffs, making them perfect spots to enjoy a drink or bite to eat with the sound of the waves in the background.



For evenings out, The Secret Garden is a local favourite, serving delicious pizzas alongside creative cocktails in a relaxed setting. However, many visitors would argue that nothing beats an afternoon at Fistral Beach, Newquay's world-famous surfing destination. Here you'll find surf schools, board hire and some excellent places to eat, including The Stable, known for its fantastic pizzas and local ciders overlooking the ocean.



A walk along the South West Coast Path to Lewinnick Lodge is highly recommended. Perched on the cliffs, this stunning spot offers incredible sea views and a wonderful setting for lunch, dinner or sunset drinks.



Just beyond Newquay lies Crantock Beach, a beautiful expanse of sand backed by dunes and the Gannel Estuary. It's ideal for long walks, paddleboarding and escaping the busier beaches.



Other nearby attractions include Newquay Harbour, where you can join fishing trips or wildlife cruises, and the Blue Reef Aquarium, a great family day out. For nature lovers, nearby Watergate Bay offers spectacular scenery and excellent surfing conditions.



With breathtaking coastal scenery, fantastic restaurants and endless opportunities for adventure, Newquay is the perfect base for an unforgettable Cornish holiday.

This unique apartment offers the rare advantage of two private parking spaces in the heart of Newquay, ensuring you have a stress-free arrival. For additional vehicles, there are several paid public car parks nearby, and while some free on street parking is available, it can be limited during peak seasons.



Newquay benefits from excellent transport links, making it highly accessible. Great Western Railway services connect London Paddington to the town centre with a convenient single change at Par. For those flying in, Newquay International Airport is just a 20 minute drive away, and you can easily reach the property via taxi or by hiring a car for your stay.
