Newquay's self-catering range goes well beyond the town centre. The five properties below include a renovated barn in the village of Cubert, a three-bedroom apartment looking over Fistral Beach, a house with Atlantic views in St Columb Minor, a period cottage a few minutes from Great Western Beach and a Watergate Bay apartment. They sleep between four and six, and four of the five accept dogs.

Newquay’s holiday cottages and houses offer a different experience to its hotels - more space, more privacy, and the freedom to come and go as you please. The properties in this guide range from a converted barn in a quiet village to a beachfront apartment above Fistral.

What makes Newquay special for a cottage stay

Newquay has 11 beaches along the north Cornwall coast, and most of the properties here are within a mile of the sand. The town has a strong surf culture and plenty of nightlife, and a self-catering stay lets you retreat to your own space when you want quiet.

Choosing the right property

  • For couples: Old Pear Tree Barn near Cubert offers countryside peace within easy reach of the coast, and sleeps four
  • For families: 45 Ocean 1 provides a high chair, travel cot and stair gate, and Tregurrian Villas is 100 yards from Watergate Bay
  • For groups: 45 Ocean 1, Tolcarne Cottage and Tregurrian Villas each sleep up to six

Getting around

Most cottage stays in Newquay require a car, especially properties in villages like Cubert or Crantock. Newquay has a railway station on the Atlantic Coast line from Par, and an airport with flights from several UK cities.

Our Picks

Old Pear Tree Barn

Old Pear Tree Barn

A renovated barn in the village of Cubert, sleeping four across two bedrooms. Exposed timber beams and a vaulted ceiling recall its past as a piggery and hay barn, there is underfloor heating throughout, and a first-floor living room opens onto a decked balcony with views over the countryside. It has a wood burner and an enclosed garden, and dogs are welcome. It sits inland rather than on the coast, with the surf beaches a short drive away.

Best Family Hotels in Cornwall

Best Family Hotels in Cornwall

Cornwall has more family-friendly hotel options than most people expect - it is not just cottages and caravan parks. From cliffside resorts with kids' clubs and spas to Victorian seafront hotels with indoor pools and holiday parks with water flumes and woodland lodges, there is a range that spans every budget. The north coast from Bude to Mawgan Porth concentrates the biggest resort hotels, while St Ives and Falmouth offer more classic hotel stays with beaches on the doorstep. One practical note: peak summer weeks (late July and August) at the better-known hotels fill early, so book the Headland and Bedruthan well ahead.

Family Hotels in Newquay

Newquay has 11 beaches, reliable surf, and a larger choice of family-friendly hotels than most Cornish towns. The trick is picking one that keeps children entertained - with pools, kids' clubs, and on-site dining - while staying close enough to the coast for a quick beach trip. Here are the hotels we recommend.

Best Luxury Hotels in Cornwall

Luxury in Cornwall comes in several distinct forms. There are the clifftop spa hotels - adults-only escapes with sea-view hot tubs and coastal treatments. There are the Victorian country house hotels set in landscaped grounds with pools, golf, and chauffeur services. And increasingly, there are the food-destination hotels that justify the room rate as much by what's on the plate as the thread count on the pillow. Cornwall has 3 Michelin-starred restaurants: Paul Ainsworth at No.6 in Padstow, Outlaw's Fish Kitchen in Port Isaac, and Ugly Butterfly at the Headland Hotel in Newquay - the latter awarded its first star in February 2026, Newquay's first Michelin star. The hotels listed here represent the strongest options across the county: coast-facing spa resorts on the north coast, 5-star country houses on the Roseland, clifftop properties with direct beach access near St Ives, and a resort-scale property in Fowey. Prices vary by season, with July and August the most expensive, so book peak summer well ahead.
