Porth Apartment

Porth Apartment sleeps four across a king-size bedroom and a twin, with two bathrooms giving each room practical access to separate facilities. The apartment is on the first floor, the king-size bedroom has its own en-suite shower room with WC, and the main bathroom has a shower over the bath. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking.

Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher and a washer/dryer are included, and one dog can stay. French doors from the open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner lead onto an enclosed seafront balcony with seating, and the lounge and balcony both look out over the sea.

Porth is a beach settlement on the quieter north-east edge of Newquay, where a tidal island divides the sand and can be crossed at low water. Porth Beach is 400 yards from the apartment. Whipsiderry Beach is 0.1 miles away, Watergate Bay 1 mile from the apartment and Tolcarne Beach 1.1 miles. Watergate Bay, home to the Extreme Academy, is about a 20-minute walk north along the coast path. Porth has its own cafes, a pub and a handful of shops, with Newquay, Padstow and Polzeath making wider trips.

**Best for:** four guests wanting two bathrooms, laundry, parking, sea views from the lounge and balcony, flexible beach choices and room for one dog. **Less good for:** guests who need step-free access, who should check with the owner first, and anyone who dislikes steps - the merchant notes steep steps down to Whipsiderry Beach.
