Tradewinds

Tradewinds is a first-floor apartment in the middle of Newquay, laid out around an open-plan space that combines the kitchen, a dining table and a sitting area. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, kettle and toaster, and there is a TV and WiFi. Central heating is fitted, and fuel, power, bed linen and towels are all included in the rent.

There are two bedrooms. The double has its own en-suite with a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC, while the twin shares the separate bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin, heated towel rail and WC. Both the en-suite and the main bathroom have a heated towel rail. The apartment sleeps four, and there is a kettle and toaster in the kitchen for a first cup of tea.

The beach is 0.5 miles away, the nearest shop 0.2 miles and the nearest pub 0.5 miles, so most days out can start on foot. Parking is roadside only, which is worth planning for if you arrive with a full car. No pets and no smoking.

Tradewinds suits a couple or a family of four who want the shop, pub and beach within about half a mile. It is less good for anyone bringing a dog.
