The Quies

The Quies is a first-floor 1-bedroom apartment in St Merryn, sleeping 2 in a double bedroom with coastal views. The interior includes a walk-in shower bathroom, an open-plan kitchen-diner, and a shared garden with outdoor seating. Dog-friendly with parking, dishwasher, and washing machine.

St Merryn sits at the centre of north Cornwall's Seven Bays area, which puts 3 beaches within 2.5km. Harlyn Bay Beach is 1.4km away - a sheltered, north-facing beach that works well for families and is one of the safer swimming bays in the area. Trevone Bay (1.9km) is a quieter cove popular with local surfers. Treyarnon Bay (2.4km) has a National Trust-maintained beach and is good for children.

This apartment suits couples or solo travellers who want a quiet village base with several beaches within cycling or short driving distance. It works well for guests exploring the Padstow area without the higher prices of staying in town. Less good for those expecting a sea-view property - the coastal views are from the bedroom rather than the living area, and the garden is shared. One dog is welcome.

Padstow is under 3 miles by car and accessible by bus from the village. The town has independent fish restaurants, boat trips, and the start of the Camel Trail cycling route. Constantine Bay, one of the most consistent surf beaches on the north coast, is around 3 miles west.
