I have been coming to newqusy for over 30 years, but this is the first time i have felt the need to do a review like this. The good points. The Appartment was lovely, clean and comfy, and the welcome cream tea was a lovely touch. The view over the bay and upto the headland was also amazing. Now for the niggly points, However just a couple of cosmetic bits could do with looking at, eg the veranda could do with a touch of paint and a clean up. And upholstery could do with a clean. As some staining on it. Now the bad points. Upon arrival there was a horrendous smell which i reported straight away, and patio door handle was loose. However it took almost a week for maintenance to come out. So in meantime we had to keep having all windows n patio door open to air it out and buy airfresheners to help difusse the smell. I believe it turned out to be a drain issue. I work for a well known holiday company and if any issues like this are reported its dealt with straight away. So for this fact thats why i rated it as i have. The fact the lift was out of service the whole 2 week was inconvenient to. The whole 2 week there we noticed there was no daily cleaner to clean the hallways, no fire alarm practice and no notices to state the fact of alarm tests. Also warning tape on the stairs and someone keeping their bike locked up on the 1st floor landing, meant having to be carefull as we walked past. No light in the hall by the keysafes and postboxes and anyone could walk into the building as tho internal door had a lock and key if you pulled the door both doors would open. We saw many of residents do this. Again, prior places i have stayed issues like this are dealt with straight away. There was also someone in the apartments nearby us who regularly smoked weed so because of the sea breeze we regularly smelt it. Overall, we had a lovely holiday, even though weather was allover the place, but you cant help the british weather. I just feel what we paid for the holiday was a little over the top concidering we usually hire another apartment nearby which is still a 3 bed but alot bigger, newer, cheaper, mid holiday bedding change, building cleaners, h&s tests and still sea views. A mid break change of bedding and towels would be an idea for anyone staying 2 weeks or more. As it stands, would i book again probably not. If building issues were addressed, maybe.

Lots of bars, restaurants and shops on your doorstep. The apartment has everything youâd need for a family beach holiday. Also need to mention the views from the balcony which were amazing and we enjoyed seal-spotting with our binoculars from the mezzanine snug (note that the telescope in the photos wasnât in use - luckily we took our own bins). Recommend the sea shantyâs at the Fistral beach bar!!
