Cottage to rent in Newquay, Cornwall

Accommodation details

Less than half a mile from sandy Porth beach and within 2 miles of Newquay's town centre, this first-floor apartment is ideal for smaller families seeking secluded accommodation for a beach and surfing holiday on the North Cornish coast. Use of a garage makes drying and managing your seaside gear at the end of the day hassle-free, and the location is great too - this section of coast has a wide variety of beach visits, walks and attractions. The apartment is bright yet cosy with an open-plan living/kitchen/dining area, and you'll love the balcony lookout with beach views.

There's plenty of space for everyone to join in with planning the next day's outing, or to snuggle up on the comfy seating for a movie night in. Overall, the feel is calm and serene. Outside, in a patio area shared with the ground floor apartment, you can enjoy a family BBQ feast and perhaps sundowners on a balmy evening. Newquay has a lively, youthful buzz and a wealth of bars, surf shops and restaurants, as well as famous Fistral Beach within 4 miles by car.

Other attractions include Newquay Zoo and the fascinating Blue Reef Aquarium. Further afield, fans of TV's Poldark series can evoke the romantic past by visiting the St Agnes Heritage Coast section of the South West Coast Path – here you can stride past ruined tin mines, symbols of Cornwall's proud heritage, and gaze out to sea from dramatic clifftops – start at Perranporth, within 10 miles.
