Situated on the northern edge of the surfing hotspot of Newquay, Lilac Cottage is a dream escape. With touches of the seaside dotted throughout, you will always feel near to the ocean. Under a mile from the blissful Fistral Beach and the vibrant town centre, you're far enough from the action for a peaceful holiday, but near enough to wander down and dip your toes into the water on one of the five famous surf beaches.
Whether relaxing in the beach-inspired lounge, or in the rustic sea-blue kitchen, you will fall in love with this cottage. With its quirky accessories, you'll be sure to get that holiday feeling. The larger bedrooms have a boutique-style feel, providing you with a colourful, cosy haven to return to when the day is over. Hose down your wetsuits in the enclosed garden, then sizzle up some dinner on the BBQ: there's even a wireless speaker to help you set the mood.
Head to the clifftops for spectacular views across the Atlantic, where you can follow the coast path for beautiful, breezy walks. Explore the sheltered coves and the north coast's sandy bays, broken up by pretty fishing villages and harbours. Jump in the car and head for fish and chips in Padstow, a 15-mile drive but well worth it. Don't forget the vast array of attractions to the south such as the Tate St Ives, 30 miles away, as well as the ultimate destination of Land's End, 45 miles away.
