The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was adequately kitted out. It was my first time in an apartment as I usually come down to Cornwall every year but with my dogs, so tend to stay in a caravan but this year my son and his partner decided to come down (it was her first time to Cornwall) so we decided on an apartment, Newquay was the obvious choice for it's central location and I'm glad we stayed where we did. Fab to have allocated parking, great location which meant they could both take themselves off for a walk around. The views from the apartment were stunning. Just perfect and thank you for allowing us to stay.
