10 Quay Court

A four-storey townhouse on Mount Wise in central Newquay, sleeping eight across four bedrooms with sea views from the upper floors. Reverse-level layout - living space at the top, bedrooms below - so the kitchen and balcony catch the coastal outlook rather than the bedrooms.

Two ground-floor bedrooms share a shower room. Upstairs, a master double has an en-suite cloakroom and a twin sits next to a bathroom with bath and shower over. The second-floor open-plan kitchen-diner-sitting room opens onto a balcony. The third-floor roof terrace adds a separate seating area looking over town and out to sea. Two off-road parking spaces (one in the courtyard, one outside) and an enclosed garden - useful with the dogs.

Towan Beach, the small sandy town beach with the suspension-bridge island house, is a 5-minute walk at 400 metres. Great Western is 800 metres along the seafront and Fistral, where the international surf competitions run, is 1.1 km across town. The harbour, restaurants, and Newquay Zoo sit within walking distance, and the South West Coast Path runs through.

Best for a larger family or two families travelling together who want a town-centre base with sea views and don't mind stairs. Less good for anyone wanting a single-storey layout, or guests who'd prefer a quieter setting away from Newquay's summer buzz.
