    There were one or two things we thought to be needed. In the kitchen area no oven gloves. No washing up bowl. Apart from that kitchen was well equipped. Unfortunately I couldn't use the shower due to a severe back problem, as it was an over the bath shower could not lift my legs in and out, and there was no bar or anything to hold onto, and was afraid of slipping. Apart from that overall a very clean and comfortable apartment. Highly recommended.

  • Sue

    The only thing missing was a true description of the location. It was a steep walk back from the beach and the apartment did not have a sea view, neither of which are mentioned in the description.

  • Katie

    The apartment is fully equipped with everything you need for a family break and the perfect retreat to relax in after a busy day. The apartment is directly opposite the beautiful Whipsiderry Beach and only a 2 minute stroll to Porth Beach; the location is perfect for fun-filled days by the sea. The fantastic Watergate beach is also accessible via a 25 minute walk on the coastal path or a quick 3-min drive. With surf schools and great places to eat on your doorstep, the apartment is fantastic, away from the hustle of central Newquay and with an abundance of perks! We would definitely return in a heartbeat!
