    The pictures do not do the property justice, it exceeded our expectations immensely. It's a well appointed property with high quality fixtures and fittings. A nice touch was having tea and coffee supplied and a pint of fresh milk in the fridge. Looking out of the window and be able to see crantock beach was the cherry on the cake

  • Keith

    The crab and lobster apartment was clean and comfortable and situated in a quiet area with just a gentle 20 minute stroll into Newquay Town centre we would stay again

  • Russell

    But 1 Thick dust on top of wardrobes - noticed when cases put there. 2 Duvet was 10.5 tog in high summer and no additional bedding. 3. Lobby and staircase looked like something out of a tired 90s hotel.
