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 0.7 miles 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 mile 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.
