Just a ten-minute walk from famous Fistral Beach and a short stroll from Newquay’s centre, this chic apartment is an ideal base for those looking to make the most of Cornwall’s stunning coast.

Distinctly modern with a boho, beachy edge, the open-plan living area features wood floors, a forest green feature wall and a comfy seating area arranged around a wood-burning stove. Snuggle up by the fire with a good book and a glass of wine on cooler evenings and gather around the window-side table for a hearty homecooked feast when you’re not out sampling the local seafood eateries.

In the warmer months, open up the patio doors to let the salty breeze flow through and fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast while the decorative fairy lights twinkle. There’s an outdoor hot water shower here too for refreshing soaks after a day in the ocean, and no matter what time of year, you’ll relish retreating to your inviting bedrooms at the end of a busy day for a seamless night’s sleep.

When it comes to things to see and do nearby, there’s no better way to experience the area’s coastal culture than with a surfing lesson – nearby Fistral Beach is a prime spot to do so. You’ll also find the Blue Reef Aquarium, The Seal Sanctuary, and Eden Project easily reachable, while plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes wait to be discovered along the oceanfront and city centre.
