  Whilst this is a beautiful apartment in a superb location, there were a few things that made me mark it down.

  The cleanliness was not great. On arrival, I went to use the loo, and the toilet seat was dirty. There was what appeared to be congealed urine on the seat. I wiped it, and the wipe was filthy. There looks to be urine in the gap at the bottom of the lid, too. The bath had a white powdery coating in it, so I didn't use it. The bath, sink, and shower all look like they need to be sealed as there is a gap in some parts. The double bedroom has mildew on the windows and the net curtains. I wiped the kitchen work surface down as there was something on it near the sink, and again, the cloth was quite dirty. The oven door did not close properly, so we did t use this. We emptied the kitchen bin on leaving, and there was some eggshell and other rubbish in the bottom. Generally, we felt that the lounge was a bit run down. The sofas feel like they don't have much support in the seats. The chairs in the window are grubby. The pillows on one of the sofas were torn, and one had a big stain on the back. The pillows on the window seats were also stained. The windows themselves looked like they had been cleaned but were all smeared, so we did the big window ourselves. One night, we had strong winds and rain, and both were coming through the big window. The wind was coming in at the hinges, which made an awful noise. It was also blowing through under the window sill. We couldn't work out where the rain had come in, but the window sill was soaked the length of the main middle window. The other thing that concerned me was that the info book seems very out of date. It mentions window keys in case of fire. However, this was nowhere to be found. In any case, even with getting the window open, you wouldn't be able to get out as there is no window ladder. There is also no fire blanket in the kitchen. The emergency torch didn't work. Despite the above, we enjoyed our holiday, and the apartment is in a great location, we just feel like the owners should be made aware of these issues. We would give this apartment another chance as it is a good size, bright and the location is amazing.

  Car parking was supposed to have been provided.

  It turned out that the "allocated space" was over 200 yards from the apartment and it was VERY tight (with a ford fiesta), plus you had to manoeuvre into it from the main road through Boscastle with one side being a blind bend. My husband is very good at parking but having knocked his wing mirror twice, he gave up using the space and used the public car park, which was chargeable from 10 am to 5 pm. To unload our car when we arrived, we were told we could use the double yellows outside the property, but this was taken with another vehicle so we were not able to do so. There was supposed to have been a garden - there wasn't. There was a small courtyard with planters at the front of the property, but this was for access to the whole building. The gate from this courtyard was straight out onto a main road,without pavement, so it was not safe for our daughter. The lounge from the property is partly below the level of the road, so you feel that you are in a basement. Immediately outside the window there was a cafe, so you felt that you needed to have the blind down the whole time to have some privacy. Both bedrooms overlooked the main road so we felt that we had no privacy and had to keep the blinds drawn.

  The apartment itself is decorated to a high and stylish standard with everything you need handy for a self catering break away with the kitchen is fully equipped with utensils, crockery and even Tupperware for all your packed lunch needs. The apartment has good Wi-Fi and a Smart TV to enjoy lazy mornings and late evenings watching films on the comfy sofa. There is also a large garden area behind the apartments which our children enjoyed having a kick about most days. The apartment is located very close to the stunning beaches and just a short walk away from the town centre, personally I loved this walk along to the beach and we enjoyed berry picking and spotting all the wildlife in the area. We loved that there are many top rated restaurants in the area to visit. We enjoyed time at Summerleaze and Crocketts beaches which were stunning and stopped off to see Bude Tunnel a local tourist attraction which is a hit on Tripadvisor just next door to the Sainsbury’s. A walk along the lake to enjoy a trip in a rowing boat and paddle boarding is also a must. We hope to visit the apartments again next summer. This is a 10/10 holiday for our family.

  We had a lovely week in this apartment.

  It was well furnished, with nice homely touches, that really made it feel like home rather than a holiday let. If we were being super picky, it would have been good to have had a colander rather than just a tiny sieve and a measuring jug, we of course found a solution to this and it just goes to highlight how good we found this place if these were the only very slight negatives. The views over the golf course and to the sea were lovely and it was great to just sit back, relax and take it all in. As well as being very close to the beach it is just a short walk to the town, but far enough away not to be disturbed. There was some occasional noise at night from people coming back from the beach bars/restaurants on the road outside but even this could not detract from our enjoyment. In another review the underground tight parking space was mentioned, it is tight but we have a large 4 x 4 and managed to park with relative ease. If we go back to Newquay and it was available, we would definitely book this apartment again, assuming of course that the price does not increase too dramatically after this review

  Just returned from a wonderful week in this fantastic apartment.

  The underground carpark was a godsend as it was torrential rain and high winds when we arrived, so able to unload and stay dry. Not sure how you could turn your car if all the spaces were occupied though. Very comfortable furniture and beds, great bathrooms & kitchen, big tv in lounge plus tv’s in bedrooms, large dining table. It has 2 balconies, the larger one off the lounge has comfortable furniture to sit out on. It has amazing views of Fistral beach, the golf course and Pentire headland, perfect for eating your breakfast on and watching the amazing sunsets at night. You can even watch the surfers from the balconies. Perfect location close to beaches, headland walks and restaurants on the doorstep. We only had one problem during our stay which we reported and that was sorted out the following day, brilliant. Just needs a bit more info about the location of the bins outside as we couldn’t find them and had to contact the owner. We would definitely recommend this apartment and would be very happy to stay there again. Didn’t want to leave.
