6 The Point, Pentire

A 3-bedroom apartment on the Pentire headland in Newquay, sleeping 6 across two bathrooms. From £528 per night. The position is the key feature: Fistral Beach - one of Britain's most consistent surf breaks - is 800 metres on foot, and Crantock Beach is 900 metres in the other direction.

The master bedroom has a king-size bed, its own private balcony, and an ensuite. The main living area opens onto a separate sea-facing balcony for the group. Two further bedrooms complete the layout - one review from the single rating on file gives it 5 stars. WiFi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine are all included. Dogs are welcome.

The Gannel Estuary runs directly below the headland - good for paddleboarding at high tide, and walkable to Crantock village via a low-tide sand crossing that saves a 3km road detour. Newquay town centre is around a 15-minute walk, with surf hire, cafes, and the harbour fish market. Vugga Cove, a quieter stretch of coast, is 1.7km along the headland path.

Best for groups or families wanting two surf beaches within a 10-minute walk and two outdoor spaces for mornings and evenings. Less good for those seeking seclusion - Pentire is a residential area with neighbours close on both sides.
