Fistral Hideaway

Fistral Hideaway is a dog-friendly apartment on Pentire Avenue in Newquay, positioned for direct access to Fistral Beach. The location score of 9.7 from Booking.com guests reflects the address - Fistral, where international surf competitions run throughout the year, is minutes away on foot.

The apartment has a kitchenette, balcony, and patio, with sea views across the coastline. A terrace and garden provide outdoor space, and free WiFi runs throughout. Free private parking on site removes the usual Newquay headache of finding a space in summer. Dogs are welcome.

Fistral Beach itself is the main draw - a long, exposed break that works on most tides and draws surfers year-round. Boardmasters festival takes over each August. The headland between Fistral and the harbour gives access to Towan Beach and the town centre, where independent shops, restaurants, and Rick Stein's chip shop line the streets around the harbour.

Newquay has 11 beaches in total, spread along several miles of north coast. The Gannel estuary, a tidal inlet on the town's southern edge, offers calmer water for kayaking and paddleboarding. Newquay train station is about 1.7 miles from the property, and Cornwall Airport Newquay - with direct flights to London - is roughly 6.2 miles away.

Nearby: Fistral (600m) and Crantock Beach (0.7 miles). See our Crantock guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for a couple travelling with a dog who want parking sorted and the beach within walking distance. Less suited to groups, since the apartment sleeps two in a single bedroom, or to longer stays needing a washing machine, which isn't listed among the amenities.
