Beachside Newquay

A detached two-bedroom cottage in Newquay, 400m from Fistral Beach - Cornwall's best-known surf break. The cottage sleeps four across a double and a twin, with sea views from the living room and master bedroom. Rated 4.8/5 from five reviews, and dog-friendly.

Inside, the layout centres on a contemporary open-plan living area with a wood burner. The bathroom includes a freestanding bath. A dishwasher and Wi-Fi are included; the kitchen is set up for a small group rather than a crowd of four families.

Outside, a fully enclosed private garden faces the sea, with off-road parking alongside the cottage. The garden can also be used by guests booking the adjacent Fistral Beach House - the two properties together sleep nine, which suits a larger group that wants separate spaces.

Fistral Beach is 400m away on foot - the RNLI-lifeguarded beach runs from May to September, with surf schools operating from the car park above. Towan Beach is 1.2km in the other direction, closer to Newquay town centre. Shops, cafes and restaurants are walkable.

Best for couples, a small family, or dog owners who want genuine beach proximity without a long drive. Less good for large groups (max four) or those needing washing machine access.
