  Gorgeous apartment.

  The view from the balcony and living space is amazing. The chaise lounge is a nice touch to relax and look out to sea too. You cannot beat the location. Right in the centre of town and a 2 minute easy walk to the lovely towan beach. It's easy just to stay on the balcony and watch the world go by. Good parking space which is rare in a sea side town. We've toured Cornwall many times so just left the car and stayed local. Everything you need is around you . Lots of eateries, cafes, pubs etc. Nice coastal walk to fistral. The beach walk to lusty glaze is great when the tide is out around midday. The actual apartment is great. There's the odd little thing that just needs rectifying to keep up the 5 star. Little piece of ceiling peeling in ensuite. The TV is balanced on wood in main living room, due to new build walls being only plasterboard so understand. Could be dangerous as we never knew. TV also difficult to use. I know it's top of the range bang and olfusen but it's still not user friendly and we're savvy technically. Grout in ensure could do with little touch up, grout revive and waste a little slow draining. Only 4 forks and 2 toilet rolls issued. When paying this amount you do expect enough toilet tissue for the week. Odd mark on the walls to touch up but nothing major. It's just the odd thing to keep it 5 star but as I say nothing major. One point to raise is in relation to the fire alarm panel as you enter the building. The alarm activated once while there (not by us). I believe all activate if one is set off as usually the case. I then realised the keys to the fire panel are permanently inserted into it. This should not be the case as anyone can enable the controls and deactivate it etc. The keys should be kept in a keysafe or out of reach and only authorised persons should operate the fire alarm to reset etc. This is a risk as I say if it activated and someone become annoyed at the noise, they could disarm it but there may actually be a fire. No one also appeared to react to the panel activating. It went off almost immediately but we were none the wiser of what was happening, whether it was a false alarm or not. From my experience, I would of thought the brigade or management company would respond to alarms and establish the offending flat and then reset the panel etc. Really needs looking into from a building perspective not just responsibility of this flat. The welcome pack was a nice touch with some goodies such as cornish tea, shortbread, jams and crisps etc. Also get a cleaning pack which was good. There is a lift which is slow and have to press the button constantly but at least there is one. The outside lock up is a great idea which provides body boards, a small wetsuit plus bucket and spades etc Both bedrooms nice with addition of smsrt tvs. Fans in living room and bedrooms also a bonus. Plenty of room for 4 plus dog. All in all a gorgeous apartment with everything you need. You cannot beat the view and location in newquay. We ste out but also bought food and sat and ate on the balcony. Would highly recommended.

  We've had an amazing family stay in flat 2.

  The flat itself is absolutely gorgeous and located in a beatififul spot overlooking the sea. What a blissful sight to awaken to each morning. Situated between Porth Beach & Watergate Bay it's ideal for sand & surf lovers. We will be highly recommending flat 2 to everyone we know. Just 2 little gripes, the first being the outside patio area. This was for us, and I'm sure many others, the main selling point of the accommodation. What better place to sit and sip a cuppa or eat lunch overlooking the sea. Sadly though, the patio furniture is in a poor state and the metal is all rusted. One of the chairs was rusted so badly it had snapped leaving dangeous rusty spikes. The plants are also too overgrown so once siting out there, the view of the sea is obstructed. A new patio set & a bit of TLC with the plants is all it would take to have this place perfect. The second little gripe is the boiler. We used the heating very briefly for one evening when it turned a little chilly. The boiler was intermittently rumbling and vibrating incredibly loud (kettling). It was very concerning so we turned it off. This is something that needs to be addressed ASAP as can lead to terrible consequences if left. Possibly a good service could fix this. To anyone reading. These are the only 2 minuses in an abundance of plusses this property presents. It truly is absolutely gorgeous. Once sorted, this is the perfect pad!

  Myself, husband and dog had a such a great week at Fistral Drift.

  Loved the communication from Jane & Michelle via email & what's app with all the info we needed to access the property and about the surrounding area etc. We parked in the Council car park 5 minutes walk from the property and Jane paid for our weekly Rover permit which was fantastic, permit can be used across other certain car parks but we didn't use our car the whole stay. Garden was lovely, our dog spent most of his time lazing out there & we enjoyed the views across to Fistral Beach from the bench seat! Location was great for us, 10 minute walk to Fistral Beach & coastal path or 10 minutes in the other direction to shops, pubs etc. They have thought of everything in the property, firstly a fabulous welcome pack on arrival which included tea bags, coffee pods, cider, biscuits, chocolate & even dog treats! Also milk in the fridge for us, hand washes, kitchen really well equipped (stayed in many properties where its pretty basic) and the bathroom is lovely with an amazing shower! Honestly they have literally thought of everything at Fistral Drift & I could go on & on so finally will just say I would recommend it to anyone.

  We are a elderly couple in our 70's, my husband is disabled and our son who came with us has autism.

  I chose this holiday apartment as it had lots of features which would suit us perfectly... a Lift, 2 bathrooms, sea view, balcony, allowed dogs, 3 large TV's and a private car park...all excellent, very clean plus a pleasing welcome pack. But... there is always a but..sorry...heating was far too hot 23 degrees celsius, could not be turned lower. No grip rails in both showers or anti slip mats, glass shower-shield over the bath moved outward...all very dangerous? A very smelly stagnant mop and bucket..yuk ..I left it on the balcony. A phone call.. could window cleaners come and clean windows? .. Err No! we are on holiday? The bin shed is full of empty wine/beer bottles,over flowing on the floor. Living room remote control as you know from other guests is not working. Last complaint is not owners fault but we left early Thursday morning as we could not stand the 9am to 4pm hammer drilling in the road, as they where renewing a barrier on the over hang above the aquarium.

  Providing unrivalled views of Towan Beach & beyond, Onshore 7 is a uniquely positioned for a truly breathtaking coastal stay.

  The apartment itself if perfectly appointment offering everything you need for a comfortable short stay. The inclusion of an off road parking space is a great bonus in the heart of Newquay. The beach itself is just minutes away, with the inclusion of surf boards & body boards as part of the rental adding to the overall offer on Onshore 7. Being in the heart of Newquay means there is some daytime and night time noise - with the proximity of a large Walkabout bar meaning music can be heard & at times felt in the apartment even with the windows closed - a small price to pay for proximity to the beach. Shops and cafes are abundant and on your doorstep, with supermarkets less than 5 minutes walk from the apartment. The apartment has a lift which is a blessing for bringing up cases. The welcome box also a lovely touch offering a ‘Taste of Cornwall’.
