Newquay is renowned for its surf culture and it never disappoints, with 50-year old surf shops offering body boarding, paddle boarding and sea kayaking, and plenty of surf schools and hire centres dotted around the bay. Newquay also offers tennis clubs, leisure centres and an indoor trampoline centre. Enjoy a short stroll from the house around the boating lakes in the nearby park which has plenty of cafés, or try horse riding along the banks of the Gannel Estuary. The shops, cafés, bars and restaurants of Newquay are a short stroll away. Why not try the coastal drive passing many secluded beaches, many of which are home to seals? Go past the coves and up to Padstow, a culinary centre with Michelin starred eateries and great fish and chips dotted along the narrow lanes that lead to the pretty harbour. Newquay has a great cinema, a theatre, many shops and a golf club overlooking Fistral Beach so there’s always something to occupy everyone. Beach 250 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant 200 yards.
