Apartment 3 Fistral Beach

Apartment 3 Fistral Beach is a two-bedroom apartment on Esplanade Road in Newquay, sleeping 4 with 2 bathrooms and a private hot tub in the garden. The apartment sits on a private road 500 metres from Fistral, which has a resident surf school and consistent westerly swell through summer. Sea views are a genuine feature here, not a stretch of the description.

The kitchen comes with a dishwasher, and a washing machine is included - both relevant for stays of a week or more when surf gear accumulates quickly. WiFi and parking are also included. With 2 bathrooms for 4 guests, the morning routine before a dawn surf is manageable. The Saturday changeover suits driving guests who want to avoid the Friday afternoon M5 congestion.

Crantock Beach is 1.2km further along the coast - National Trust-backed, dune-fringed, and noticeably quieter than Fistral on most days. Towan Beach and Newquay town centre are 1.6km in the other direction, with cafes, the harbour, and the Blue Reef Aquarium all within walking range. The Headland Hotel sits immediately above Fistral for a dinner option that doesn't require a car.

Suits surfers and beach-focused groups of 2 to 4 who want direct Fistral access with a hot tub for evenings. Works well for couples sharing, or parents with two older children. Not great for families needing a cot or anyone who wants a rural feel - Esplanade Road is built-up and busy in peak weeks. From £892 per week on Sykes, £719 on HolidayCottages.
