  We absolutely love this apartment.

  From the second you open the door it is so fresh, light and spotlessly clean. This was our second stay at 2 Spindrift. I like to have a week in Cornwall with all the family then a week to relax. Rolling up the blind in the mornings to the crashing waves is magnificent, as is watching the breathtaking sunsets. Just a hop across the road and down the steps to Whipsiderry, great beach for surfing or body boarding, or a short walk down the hill to Porth. We were lucky enough to see two large starfish in shallow rock pools at Whipsiderry this year. When the tide is out you can walk all the way to Watergate Bay. If holidaying without a car or just wanting a rest from driving, the 56 Newquay to Padstow bus stops just outside the door. Newquay is also within reasonable walking distance for the fit. The apartment itself is so well equipped that it has everything you could possibly think of and more. The decor, in keeping with the period of the building is a nice touch. It is so obviously cared about as are the people who stay there. Very comfortable beds and crisp, white linen. I always feel very indulgent with my own en-suite bathroom. Lashings of hot water. There is also a tap outside to rinse off sand and wetsuits. Hose attachment in cupboard. We love the walled garden which is a great little suntrap. I don't know who this terrible neighbour is as mentioned in previous review but the lady above was very nice and friendly on the rare occasion we crossed paths. We didn't see anyone else. It was very peaceful. To sum up, whether it's country walks (huge pine cones up the lane), walking the coast path, bat watching, braving the surf or snapping the action from the safety of the cliff.....or not so safe feeling from the bridge when the sea is rough, more exhilaratingly scary : D... or just watching the ever changing sea and sky from the comfort of this wonderful apartment, I don't think you could ask for more.

  The apartment is clean and modern with all the facilities you need for a great holiday.

  The views over Towan Beach are wonderful. The secure parking is a real bonus! **The housekeeper Denise deserves a special mention. The boiler stopped working late evening so no hot water. We messaged her at 10pm and next morning she arranged to be round before 8am to sort the problem and ensure we had hot water to start the day. Thank you again to our star plumber! What stopped it being a 5* holiday? The bed in the main bedroom is described as a king size ( made up of twin beds connected) The bed are small singles giving the width of a king size but only standard length reduced by a thick wall mounted headboard and as someone 6’3” tall this meant an uncomfortable sleep with dangling feet. We knew it was height of the season and expected some noise but the apartment is within 100 metres of two bars/pubs playing loud music to 2am or later and the associated noise from revellers thereafter. We tried earplugs but had to close all windows to keep noise out leading to uncomfortable/ difficult sleeping conditions.

  Property was excellent and we had a great stay.

  Everything was very clean and well organized. Sofa and beds were comfy. Plenty of space for us all to function in the kitchen and living area. Lighting was fantastic. The step in the bathroom was a challenge for all. Would be good to include a streaming device eg Amazon firestick, Google chrome or smart tv for families to stream their own services. An extra towel per person for the week would be appreciated. Blackout blinds/shades in bedrooms would help keep the rooms cooler… a shade for the French doors to keep sun out of the eyes at dinner would help too. Thank you for providing a couple washing tablets for the dishwasher and washing machine as well as basics like paper towel and cling film/foil. The croissants, Prosecco, and coffee etc were a very nice addition. Thank you. The views were amazing and the proximity to the playground fantastic. Great to be so walkable into town for dinner, shopping and obviously the beach!

  Lovely couple who owned this apartment, who were very attentive and friendly, had a small issue with the bath that they jumped on very quickly an had fixed the next day.

  Loved the property, location was great (10min walk to Fistral Beach, Sea Spray Cafe side), views were amazing and very peaceful of an evening on the balcony). Handily if you have young children a park is immedaietly opposite the apartment as you look over to the ocean. Facilities i.e. fridge/oven etc were all excellent. and our hosts left a supplier of milk, breads, washing liquid and even a bottle of prosecco which was a lovely and much apprecaited touch. Our only constructive feedback would be that the double bed and sofas are not particularly comfortable which nothing could be done about it during our stay so we didn't raise at the time, but would like to pass on our thoughts to make this a really excellent stay these could be upgraded, the bed as the more urgent priority as half your stay you are using this item for 8hrs at a time.

  The apartment is absolutely stunning and the view is a real wow, we spent a lot of time on the balcony watching the surfers.

  When we arrived the apartment was not up my standard of cleanliness, the floor in the lounge certainly needed hovering, and dust had gathered under the coffee table. The cleaner had left half used toilet paper on the breakfast island which is not something you like to see when first arriving in a property. The washing machine door was found to be broken , Traci answered my text message immediately stating she would be round the following day (that didn't happen) . Some of the cups are chipped so should be replaced. I know this is personal preference but it needs a kettle, the water from the tap is not hot enough to make a cup of tea. Just to make people aware the Walkabout pub is not very far away so you can hear some noise especially at night. Having said that we had a brilliant time and thankyou for the goodies you left us.
