  • With the beach and coast path on your doorstep, this is the ideal base for coastal adventures
Property code: OC-W32782

Set 3 miles along the coast from Newquay and just 150 metres from Watergate Bay’s sandy beach, this second-floor apartment with panoramic sea views offers a wonderful base to couples and small families planning seaside adventures. Watergate Bay boasts a large stretch of golden sand and plenty of opportunities for water sports. Walkers are blessed, as the South West Coast Path passes the property and leads ramblers to the likes of Mawgan Porth and Porthcothan (both within 5 miles). No trip to this corner of Cornwall is complete without time spent in Newquay – the surf capital of Cornwall where water sports equipment hire, seaside attractions, independent shops, restaurants and pubs, and plenty of annual events await. Further along the coastline, explore the Trevose Head Heritage Coast (7 miles), a scenic area with hidden coves and secret beaches, or head to charming Padstow (10 miles) to uncover its famous seafood restaurants and bustling harbour.

Bright and modern, this single-storey apartment offers a fresh, contemporary base for your Cornish getaway. Accessed via a lift from the communal entrance, the second-floor apartment opens into a spacious, open-plan lounge/diner with sea views and a relaxed coastal vibe. Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass balcony doors fill this space with light and frame splendid coastal views. Gather here after days of adventure, sinking into the lounge space’s soft seating to flick on the Smart TV and catch up on your favourite shows. When stomachs rumble, find that the separate, well-appointed kitchen boasts everything needed to cook up a Cornish feast, which can be enjoyed at the window-side dining table or al fresco-style out on the balcony. When it’s time to call it a night, choose from two restful bedrooms – a master king-size with more sea views and an en-suite shower room, and a twin room which is served by the bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Outside, a private balcony is accessed from the living space and offers a scenic, furnished spot perfect for sea-view evening tipples and al fresco dinners. Guests will also benefit from private parking for one car as well as a secure lockup ideal for beach and water sports gear.

We had a wonderful stay overlooking Watergate bay. The apartment was very comfortable (great bed!) and suited us perfectly. Kitchen equipment a bit sparse but we cooked some meals at home. You need to bring your own coffee making equipment if you are a coffee lover. Our dog was in heaven as the beach was allowed. Nice meal at one of the restaurantsRead more at walking distance. Thanks fir the stay! Hide

Lovely flat with a great view, would benefit from a few more appliances (iron and hoover) The parking bay is extremely restricted we had to unload the car prior to parking The lift was faulty during our stay which with a baby and pram made life difficult. Also the hot water wasnt working properly on our last morning so we had to boil a kettle aRead morend have a wash in the sink. Appreciate these things happen but upon a bit of investigation I found that the timer was not set correctly. We reported it to the number in the welcome pack so hopefully it has been rectified. It was our first holiday with a newborn and just felt like there were simple things that let it down. Overall a nice flat could just do with a bit more attention to detail. 6/10 Hide

Breath taking location, beautiful beaches, exhilarating walks, and fantastic views from the balcony, and ideally sandwiched between the pub and hotel for different types of eating/drinking experiences. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the apartment and definitely recommend.
