It has all you could ever need, is comfortable, homely and has a sea view from every window - this includes spectacular views over Fistral beach and a balcony that looks out to the sea and the river estuary. The pool table was a fun addition to our stay. Itâs about a 30 minutes walk into town which didnât bother us as we like walking. The only issue for us was that the fridge freezer had broken, which I know can happen, but this left us with a much smaller fridge for our 2 week stay and it didnât fit a lot in. Overall we had an amazing 2 weeks, relaxing in the apartment and enjoying Newquay and surrounding areas.

Everything modern and everything you could think of too . The only thing we could possibly say would be the parking but once I had parked a few times it was ok . It is a shame the visitors parking couldnât be put where 23 is as we didnât see anyone on those slots all week . This property is simply amazing we would definitely go back in a heartbeat
