The Penthouse (Sleeps 6), Fistral Beach

Laid out over the third floor of a luxury development, the open plan living area of this home is bright and airy with floor to ceiling glass inviting plenty of natural light into the space. Three large bedrooms provide ample space for six guests and the beautiful master bedroom features a king size bed, en-suite shower room, flatscreen TV and Bose Wave System III. The two additional bedrooms (one king and the other twin) have built in wardrobes and access to the terrace – perfect for watching the sun set over the Atlantic.

An attractive and very well-equipped kitchen has an oven and grill, microwave, fridge freezer and separate wine cooler. Granite worktops and gloss units add to its high-spec and offer a great space to create delicious home cooked meals in. For sociable evenings there is a modern dining table with seating for six, and the small furnished terrace makes an inviting place to enjoy breakfast in the sunshine or an alfresco coffee.

Newquay town with its plethora of bars, restaurants and shops is close by, with Fistral Beach itself being just a few minutes from the apartment. Well-known for its surf culture, a visit to North Cornwall would not be complete without taking to the water. Several surf schools as well as watersports hire companies operate in the area and cater to all levels of ability from beginner to pro. For those who’d prefer to keep their feet dry, there are many fantastic walks along the South West Coast path not to mention a famous golf course, aquarium, zoo and harbour to explore.
