Wayfarer

Wayfarer is a four-bedroom cottage in Newquay with sea views over Lusty Glaze Beach. The property sleeps 8 across a super-king zip-and-link room with en-suite, a twin zip-and-link that converts to super-king, and two king-size rooms. The wood burner in the ground-floor lounge runs year-round, and the kitchen opens through bi-fold doors into an enclosed landscaped garden. Parking for three cars is on site.

The top-floor master suite occupies its own level with a walk-in wardrobe, private lounge area, and sea-view balcony looking towards Lusty Glaze Beach. The games room is fitted with table tennis, air hockey, and a pool table - a useful feature for wet days or evenings in. Up to 3 dogs are welcome throughout.

Tolcarne Beach is 700 metres on foot, a long sandy stretch suited to families. Whipsiderry Beach is 0.6 miles north, and Great Western Beach - one of Newquay's most sheltered options - is 0.7 miles. Newquay town centre, with its restaurants, surf shops, and Friday night market, is under a mile from the property. The South West Coast Path runs along the clifftops here, with the route past Lusty Glaze providing a short evening walk.

Suits groups of 8 and families with dogs who want a sociable property with practical on-site leisure and enough bedrooms for two separate families. Good value during winter when the games room earns its keep. Less suited to guests needing a ground-floor master bedroom - the main suite is on the top floor.
