Lobster House

Lobster House is a converted chapel, one of three houses sharing a private complex in the middle of Newquay. The town's eateries, bars, a cinema and boutique shops are all within walking distance. Towan Beach is a 5-minute walk with Fistral Beach less than a mile away. Crantock is 4 miles, and Watergate Bay, the Eden Project and several National Trust properties and gardens are all within 20 miles.

A private entrance leads to the ground floor, where two super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms can be made up as twins on request. Each has a Smart TV and its own en-suite: one with a Verdigris-tiled shower-over-bath and a river rock stone basin, the other with a large shower, WC and a basin made from petrified wood.

Up a glass-panelled staircase, the first floor holds an open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner with a 4-metre sofa and Smart TV. A further staircase leads to a king-size bedroom in the eaves, finished with an oak-beamed feature wall, a dressing table and its own en-suite, where an onyx basin and Bluetooth mirror sit beneath a roof window.

Outside, a private enclosed patio has garden furniture and a 6-seater hot tub. Two dogs are welcome, EV charging is available on site, and off-road parking is included.

Best for two couples or a small group sharing zip-and-link twin/super-king bedrooms with their own en-suites, or a family wanting the top-floor bedroom for extra privacy.
