Watergate Bay Apartment

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.
