Amble just 150 metres to reach the beach from this second-floor apartment at Watergate Bay in Cornwall. Sleeping two guests, with the possibility of two more on comfortable sofa beds, the welcoming getaway, which is 3.5 miles from Newquay, is ideal for couples and small families, especially those seeking a surfing or bucket and spade break.
Head up to the second floor via the lift or the stairs. Let yourselves in to discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can unwind, socialise and sit down to meals. This modern space features glass doors at one end that open onto your balcony. Keep these open on fine days as you settle on the sofa in front of the Smart TV or share stories about your exploits. The dining table tucks in cleverly to one side, while the kitchen is at the end of the living space. This well-designed area has been fitted out to ensure you have everything you need for whipping up meals at your fingertips. The sofa bed can be made up for two additional guests by prior arrangement. The main bedroom is a bright, airy space, with a super-king-size bed that can be set up as two singles instead if discussed in advance. There is a family bathroom, with a shower and a bath. The balcony is the perfect place for summer breakfasts as you gaze out towards the sea. Guests have access to a shared beach shower and storage for surfboards. There is parking for one car.
Take your surfboards 5.5 miles to Fistral Bay, which is renowned for its excellent waves. Pull on your hiking boots and set off on a 4-mile walk along the South West Coast Path to Newquay. Appreciate the spectacular cliff-top views from the National Trust’s magnificent Carnewas at Bedruthan, 3.5 miles away.
