Penthouse at Fistral

Newquay's Pentire Peninsula curves into the Atlantic, and this penthouse occupies the quieter, sun-facing end of Fistral Beach. The location puts you steps from the sand, with cliff-top walks branching inland and the beach café just below for morning coffee. Three bedrooms sleep six, each with its own shower room; a super king, a king, and two singles share the floor with a separate bathroom. The open-plan living space has patio doors onto a balcony that catches the afternoon light.

The kitchen is fully equipped for proper cooking—electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge and wine cooler, plus a washing machine and tumble dryer in the utility room. Wifi and heating are included, as are bed linen and towels. One car parking space comes with the property. No smoking throughout.

Fistral itself is a working beach: surfers year-round, but also fine dining at the Michelin-starred Fish House, a traditional fish and chip shop, and Fistral Golf Course tucked behind the dunes. The Grade II listed Esplanade Hotel stands at the far end, known for its bar and restaurant. Family and couple bookings only.
