Fistral Cottage

Newquay's north coast draws surfers, families and beach-goers year-round, with Fistral Beach hosting major competitions and the town itself humming with activity. Fistral Cottage sits within a small complex of converted farm buildings, where guests have the run of their own space but share access to grounds that include a heated outdoor pool (open April to September), picnic areas and a hot tub available all year.

The cottage has two bedrooms—one with a double bed and one with bunks—each with its own shower room. Downstairs, a living and dining area opens onto the gardens. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking: electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge and washing machine. Essentials like bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and heating are included. One dog can stay free of charge. Parking is available for two cars.

This works well for families, groups of friends or anyone wanting a base within walking distance of the beaches and pubs that line the seafront at Perranporth, 10 minutes away. Newquay Zoo, Blue Reef Aquarium and the Eden Project are all within reach for rainy days. Note that smoking is not permitted in the cottage.
