Location
The apartment is a two minute walk from Fistral Beach, and Newquay’s other four beaches are also within easy reach. The South West Coast Path, which leads up onto Pentire Headland, is right outside, providing spectacular views from the dramatic cliff. A short walk up onto the headland (approx 15-20 mins) is the lovely Lewinnick Lodge pub. The beaches and coastline of North Cornwall, such as nearby Crantock and Polly Joke are stunning.
Eat
You are spoilt for choice when deciding on where to eat and drink. There are some fabulous restaurants within easy walking distance of the apartment, to suggest a few:
Lewinnick Lodge is nestled on the Pentire Headland, it has a buzzing atmosphere, fantastic food and unforgettable sunsets.
Rick Stein Fistral is casual and laid back and not only serves Rick’s famous fish & chips, but also Indian take-aways inspired by his travels.
The Stable has breathtaking views over the beach and serves local produce and fine cider.
For an elegant yet rustic menu, visit Paul Harwood’s The Fish House. The menu changes according to seasons and what is available or freshly caught.
