Fistral Sands Cottage...in a quite cul-de-sac...5 minutes walk to Fistral Beach

Just a stones throw from the world famous surfing spot of Fistral Beach is Fistral Sands Cottage. This stunning three bedroom Cornish Cottage is situated in a quiet residential cul-de-sac and has parking for 2 cars on the adjoining drive. Downstairs there is a large lounge which opens out onto the patio, a dining room for 6, a fully equipped kitchen and a utility room which houses a washing machine and a tumble drier. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms...the main bedroom has a king size bed with an ensuite bathroom including a shower, the 2nd bedroom also has a king size bed and the 3rd bedroom has 2 single beds. There is also a family bathroom which has a bath/shower. Wifi is available with codes provided on arrival. A Samsung Smart TV should ensure you don't miss too many of your favourite viewings. Bedding is provided but NOT towels. The back garden is south facing so plenty of sun can be enjoyed along with a BBQ (provided) and some chilled drinks (not provided).
The cottage is available to families and couples aged 23 & over. There is a no smoking policy in the property. Pets are not allowed.
From the cottage it's a 5 minute walk to Fistral Beach where you will find the lovely Sea Spray Cafe for coffee and snacks, lunch or evening meals. Surfboards can be hired from the office below the cafe. A stroll along the beach brings you to the main beach complex where Rick Stein's and The Fish House (both award winning restaurants) are situated. Also there are The Stable which provides quality pizzas and cider and Fistral Beach Bar with it’s giant decking area which gives you great views over the beach and the breaking surf. Also on the complex you will find shops, surf hire, surf lessons and showers.
Other nearby walks are down to the Gannel Estuary which leads to the quaint village of Crantock or along the rugged coastline of Pentire Headland where you can pop into the Lewinnick Pub to top up energy levels.
The walk into Newquay town takes 10/15 minutes where you will find the 3 town beaches of Towan, Great Western and Tolcarne...all 3 beaches are lovely...each with its own different vibe. The town has numerous great places to eat and drink and there are the usual surf shops etc to enjoy should the sun not be shining.
At the back of the town you will find Newquay zoo, tennis courts (indoor and outdoor), children’s play area with a miniature train, a swimming pool with slides, a gym, crazy golf, trampoline park, a skate park and boating lake. Also you can take a tour of the town on the land train which starts from Newquay zoo.

Fantastic week in Fistral Newquay
The cottage is beautifully presented and well equipped for a family holiday. It has a homely feel, a lovely garden for sunny days to relax and have a BBQ. Phil and Jan communicated well prior to our holiday and were available if needed during our stay. The 3 bedrooms are 2 bathrooms mean plenty of space to accommodate everyone. The property was immaculately clean and lots of nice touches provided to enhance a self catering holiday. Fantastic quiet location where you can walk to Fistral beach, Newquay, The Gannel Estrray and Crantock. Also ideal located to visit other Cornwall beaches and attractions. Definitely highly recommend.

Just returned from a family holiday, an amazing cottage and location. A great base for discovering the wonders of Cornwall, an easy drive to St Ives, Penzance and Bude to name a few. Everything you need for a holiday is available within the cottage, very very clean and the beds are very comfortable. Look forward to returning Thanks Jo & Family

Brilliant Holiday Home
Exceptionally clean, comfortable and spacious holiday home. A stones throw from Fistral beach and short walk into Newquay town centre. Location meant everything was easily accessible but peaceful / not in the middle of peak season crowds. Would recommend and will definitely stay here again if I return to Newquay.

A real home from home. Fantastic holiday from start to finish.
As soon as I booked 12 months, Phil has been easy to contact and very helpful. The minute we stepped foot in the cottage, we felt right at home. Milk and tea bags on arrival was very much appreciated. The beds are really comfortable, lovely shower in the en suite (just pay attention to the amount of hot water used, it might need a boost) kitchen has everything you need and TVs very modern. Comfy big sofas and an additional hand rail going up the stairs was greatly appreciated by my 84 year old mother. Beautiful garden with plenty of outdoor seating, honey and sunny (the neighbours cats) also like to pop over the fence for a fuss! One thing any prospective holiday maker needs to be aware of is that the walk to the beach is down a lot of stairs so not easy with a buggy but once on the beach it’s lovely as it’s at the quieter end.

We stayed 27/5/23 to 03/06/23. Had a wonderful week. Phil called me just before we arrived to check in, the house was immaculate and had everything we needed. We loved the garden, lovely and safe for my 5 yr old with lots of wildlife visitors and next door's Ragdoll cat Honey (what a cutey) Walking distance to Fistral and Crantock. Lovely quiet residential street. Considering a return visit next year.

Fantastic stay at Fistral Beach
We had a great family holiday here. The house was exactly what we needed and wanted, and was perfect giving our two young boys (4 and 1) their own rooms. The garden is nice, just enough space for kids to run around and we had two BBQs . The location is fantastic and ideal for the beach. Lots of good beaches of course as well as other fun local days out around Newquay. I had some great runs on the Pentire headland and the sunsets were stunning. We would definitely consider staying again, we didn't really get to scratch the surface of all the surrounding beaches so we would like to do it again when the kids are a bit older as there is so much to do around Newquay. Excellent and straightforward experience dealing with Phil and Jan throughout the process.

Fabulous!
We had a wonderful holiday and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a beach holiday. The house was spotlessly clean, cosy and very well organised so everything you might need was at hand. The garden was on the small side but very pretty and had full sun all day and most of the evening. We enjoyed the barbecue which was provided for us. The location couldn't have been better - literally a 5 minute walk to Fistral beach. The surf shop was close by so we picked up our boards on the way down. If you have young children not interested in surfing it is still a fun beach for them to enjoy. The Sea Spray cafe was great for a meal or snack and the staff were lovely. I would recommend Lewinnick Lodge for a special night out. It had delicious food with stunning views and it was a 5 minute bike ride away. Altogether a fab holiday and we are thinking of booking it again for next year!
