This three-bedroom house in Newquay sleeps six guests across one king, one double and one twin bedroom. Fistral Beach - one of the UK's most recognised surf spots - is 700 metres from the front door, with Towan Beach 900 metres and Great Western Beach 0.9 miles away. The ground floor opens to an enclosed garden with patio, giving the property practical outdoor space without a coastal premium.

Inside, the lounge has a flame-effect electric fire, Smart TV and sofas for six. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher. WiFi and on-site parking are included. One dog is welcome, making this a reasonable choice for dog owners who want beach access without a long drive.

The property sits within a ten-minute walk of Newquay town centre's restaurants, shops and harbour. Newquay also has direct rail connections from London Paddington via Par, which makes it accessible without a car. Best for families with older children or couples sharing who want three separate sleeping spaces close to the surf.

Surf lessons are available from several schools on Fistral Beach, and board hire is common along the seafront. The South West Coast Path runs through town, giving access to clifftop walks in both directions from central Newquay.
