Perched on the headland at Fistral, this light-filled contemporary apartment overlooks the sweep of North Cornish coastline – from Newquay's bays right up to Watergate Bay and beyond. World famous for its epic surf and spirit, Fistral Beach sits just 230 metres away, inviting families and surf-lovers to dive headfirst into the action. With two bedrooms, a cot and a highchair for younger children, it's a brilliant base for families or couples looking to make the most of this stretch of coast.
Inside, the spacious open-plan living area features coastal interiors, two comfortable sofas, a 46-inch Smart TV and a dining table seating six. The fully equipped kitchen includes a Nespresso coffee machine and a breakfast bar with four stools. The master bedroom enjoys sea views and a zip-and-link super-king-size bed (convertible to two singles), plus a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with a rainfall shower. A second bedroom – also with sea views – offers two zip-and-link singles (convertible to a double), while the family bathroom has a bath with overhead rainfall shower. Cosy underfloor heating runs throughout, and a washer/dryer is on hand in the utility cupboard. Outside, the large balcony with a rattan table and four chairs frames the coastal views. A shared surf store with a lockable cage and rinse shower makes for easy beach days, and an allocated parking space in the secure car park is included.
Grab a board and get amongst the swell at Fistral, or head across the cliff-top path towards Little Fistral and its surrounding coves, where sand and shingle spill out between barnacle-dotted pools – perfect for carving out a secret space away from the busy chatter of the main bay. Wait for low tide and take a stroll around the headland past Newquay's historical Huer's Hut towards the town's seven beaches, rewarding yourself with an ice cream when you're done. Watergate Bay is just a 10-minute drive away with its rolling surf and eateries, or Perranporth and its quirky shops can also be reached by car.
