Fistral Palms 2

About this property

Fistral Palms 2 is a welcoming house resting in Newquay, Cornwall, just a stroll from the town’s celebrated beaches and offering off-road parking and a private courtyard. Step inside to an open-plan living space where you can gather with loved ones at the end of each day, cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, sharing meals around the dining table and unwinding in the sitting area in front of the electric fire while a film plays on the TV. Upstairs, a double bedroom and a twin provide light, thoughtfully presented spaces to unpack and make your own, served by a sleek bathroom with both a bath and walk-in shower, along with a handy cloakroom downstairs with basin and WC.

On warmer days, slide open the doors to the rear courtyard, settle at the outdoor table with a morning coffee or an evening drink, and plan tomorrow’s adventures by the sea. The property boasts a perfect location, close to two very popular cafes and close proximity to several large luxury hotels that offer non residential use of their restaurants. Newquay’s sandy shorelines are spectacular, including the famous Fistral Beach, invites you to try surfing, paddle in the shallows or simply watch the waves roll in, enjoy a coffee at Sea Spray Cafe before following the South West Coast Path for sweeping sea vistas.

To the south is the acclaimed beach at Crantock singled out by the Sunday Times as the UK's best family beach. The walk to Crantock is spectacular but make sure you check the tide times first, walk along the stunning River Gannel Estuary, a tidal river which can be explored by kayak, canoe, bike or horseback, all of which can be hired locally. If the tide is high and preventing walking along the sandy riverbed, take the ferry which has been running since 1910 from the Fernpit café to Crantock beach part of the National Trust, the café is known as Newquay's best kept secret and provides legendary crab sandwiches and is also well known for fresh homemade cakes, perfect to round off a day on the beach or even to pop up to for lunch.

Families and friends can enjoy classic seaside attractions, from the Blue Reef Aquarium and Newquay Zoo to boat trips and beachside cafés dotted around the harbour. Further along the coast, the sheltered cove and golden sands of Porth and nearby Watergate Bay offer more opportunities for watersports and shoreline walks, while food lovers may be drawn towards Padstow for harbourfront restaurants and Cornish treats.A short drive will take you to Perranporth, a beautiful Cornish coastal town, lies in the heart of Poldark Country, the setting for the novels of Winston Graham who lived in Perranporth in the 1930s. Perranporth offers plenty of traditional pubs and shops, plus a classic bucket-and-spade beach that is lifeguarded in summer, overlooked by craggy rocks and a wonderful coastal path.
