Fistral Drift

Fistral Drift is a ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Headland Road in Newquay, sleeping two with one bathroom. The whole apartment is on the ground floor, with a shower room that has a walk-in dual-headed shower, and it sits close to the surf coast.

Inside, the apartment has Wi-Fi, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. A fully enclosed turfed terrace and a further enclosed garden area include a BBQ area, and two well-behaved pets are welcome. There is no parking on site. A pub or shop is less than a mile away.

The nearest beach is 0.2 miles away. Towan Beach is a wide, sandy beach with RNLI lifeguards from May and a pub at the top of the access steps. Fistral Beach, which hosts the Boardmasters surf festival each August, is across the headland. Great Western Beach is 0.6 miles along the coastal path and tends to be quieter than Fistral on summer weekends.

Newquay town centre - restaurants, surf hire shops, and the Blue Reef Aquarium - is under 15 minutes on foot. The South West Coast Path passes directly along the Headland, connecting north toward Pentire and south across the Gannel to Crantock Beach. Friday changeover.

Best for a couple or solo traveller wanting a ground-floor base within a short walk of two major beaches. Less good for anyone who needs more than one bedroom, and guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking.
