The Beach Hut

ParinaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The beach hut is a perfect retreat. It is beautifully kept and has a gorgeous private garden which goes right up to the water’s edge. It’s wonderfully located less than 5 minutes walk from the main Sandbanks beach and Rick Stein’s restaurant. The Studland chain ferry is also very close giving access to stunning Shell Bay and the wild National Trust beaches. Michele was very friendly & provided many thoughtful touches including her homemade lemon drizzle cake - sublime! I would love to return as it’s a perfect spot from which to explore this area or just to meditate on your bed with a sea view. Thanks Michele!

Blue Horizon Penthouse - amazing views + parking!

SarahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Spacious flat with absolutely beautiful view. Friendly and responsive hosts and lovely and clean place, with lots of space for our 4 person family. Parking space is a bonus and very convenient. Thanks for making my 40th birthday so special! We love this part of Newquay and have stayed at Crest Court (in various airbnbs) for 5 years now every May - it’s great.

By The Harbour Apartment

LisaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spotlessly clean upon arrival, bright and comfortable. Quiet at night. Nice views from the living area over the harbor and looking over the town from the large bedroom. As Suzanne had noted in the listing, there is no assigned parking space which could be an issue. We had to pay to park the day of arrival. It’s free after 6pm until 8am. One item we’d suggest adding would be a clothes hanger for drying as the machine didn’t seem to actually dry anything. We’d highly recommend Seagulls restaurant (book in advance). Unassuming place but food was excellent. We also liked Platform for a Sunday roast and Rise for breakfast. The George was decent. If we’re back in West Bay, we’d definitely stay again.

Beachfront Apartment

RebeccaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We spent two wonderful nights at this stunning location, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit! The views are amazing and as a bonus, we spotted a couple of seals swimming in the sea most days, which was the perfect way to wrap up our weekend. The apartment was not only clean and tidy but also stylish and easily accessible. We can't wait to return in the new year!

Devon Flat with a Sea View

SashaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Amazing stay at this lovely flat right across from The beach with sea views. The home is super quiet and the tub was amazing to relax after walking around the town. Very close to delicious restaurants like Lobster Longue. The host was so responsive and gave amazing local recommendations for food. And it’s a short 10min walk from the train station if you’re traveling in by. Highly recommend and would stay again.

EmilyRating, 5 stars3 days ago
What can I say…the house was just perfect for our stay. Beautifully appointed, clean and luxurious. What a treat to have a coffee in the sunshine in the mornings, overlooking the lake. Cotswold Water Park Retreats were amazing. Very easy to book paddle boards in advance, great communication and the hot tub was checked at least twice while we were there. It’s like everything was thought of. It made it so easy for me and my family to focus on spending time together. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here to anyone and I would love to come back.

We had the best weekend staying in Amanada’s house celebrating a birthday it was beautiful. The house is even more beautiful than in the photos & my 2 year old loved looking out to sea every morning seeing the birds. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you so much ☺️ one bonus for families thinking of booking that I did not see prior to our stay is the stairgate at the top of the stairs to the kitchen it was perfect with 2 young children we could shut this off.

Upper Deck @ Captain’s Retreat, Sea View & Parking

RichardRating, 5 stars4 days ago
I can honestly say that this is one of the best AirB&Bs I've stopped in. It was perfect in every way - spotlessly clean, well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, spectacular views from the two small balconies, and ideally located for all the action around the harbour area. In terms of location it's on the hillside of West Looe, which affords fantastic views, but in terms of walking down to the harbour and back there are a lot of steps or sloping roads/footpaths, so be prepared for this (or drive down). I met Martin a few times and he was great to chat to, very friendly, and was able to recommend a few very good pubs. Overall I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

I loved my stay here! The location is fantastic, and the little garden in back was heavenly. I loved sitting outside at sunset and drinking coffee out there in the morning. Host was extremely gracious and had great recommendations (River Exe Cafe is a true gem). The house is extremely cozy. I wish I stayed here longer!

THE LOFT - Amazing View! Parking! Perfect location

JaneRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Our stay at The Loft was perfect from beginning to end. Extremely clear concise directions from Matt made for an easy arrival, with the added bonus of a parking space. The apartment itself is spotless, modern, comfortable and, surprisingly roomy. It is clear that a great deal of thought and design has gone into this property, utilising every last space, nook and cranny with the ultimate result of providing a spacious and full equipped holiday let. Not only was the apartment itself attractive and comfortable, the bonus of a balcony with a view was the icing on the cake! We had three gloriously sunny days here and, needless to say, when we weren’t on the steam train, on the riverboat or exploring Dartmouth, we spent every moment we could on this balcony watching the comings and goings on the river. We absolutely loved staying here and will certainly be back – thank you!

Stunning Sea View Apartment

JackRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an incredible stay at this apartment right by Fistral Beach. The views were absolutely stunning waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset from the window was unforgettable. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops, yet peaceful and quiet in the evenings. We couldn’t have asked for a better base for exploring Newquay. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Fabulous Perranporth Beach & Ocean Views Cornwall

UlliRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We were lucky enough to spend seven days in Beth's beautiful apartment. Now we say goodbye with a smile and a tear in our eye. The tear in our eye says "time to say goodbye," even though we don't want to leave just yet. The smile in our eye expresses our enthusiasm for our stay. We received a warm welcome; we lacked nothing. Beth has thought of everything. The apartment is a dream. And so is the view from the terrace. You could spend hours there, unwinding and watching the hustle and bustle on the beach. If you don't know Perranporth, you should definitely visit this little town. But even if you want to come back again, you should let this accommodation convince you. A big thank you to Beth and Mark.

Caswell views stunning beach apartment

ShaunRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had an amazing long weekend break here. Pita communicated really well and her apartment was a home from home. Everything was here, from extra kitchen items ilke foil etc to shower gel and soap in the bathroom. The apartment was spotlessly clean and smelt fresh, it was the small things that made a big difference - like having fresh milk in the fridge and tea and coffee to make a cuppa as soon as we arrived and the welcome pack was wonderful, wine and nibbles went down a treat in the evening! The location is one of the best we have stayed in - ideal if you like swimming, surfing or paddleboarding. Having the lifeguards on the beach from 10am-6pm everyday gave reassurance too. Large sliding doors stayed open until well after 11pm so nice to listen to the waves! Thank you Pita for everything, it was lovely to meet you and we hope to be back next year.

The location was great with lots to do. Lovely restaurant recommended to us within walking distance. The apartment was kept to a high standard however bathroom cleanliness could have been better with a few hairs in sink and bath plug cover. Bed comfortable and linen clean. Kitchen and lounge area provided everything we needed and good size. Price was brilliant for the location and time of year. Nice visit, thank you :)
