“We had a lovely stay in Onshore, we usually book Towan Penthouse, but after staying in Onshore we’ll definitely be booking our stays here in future, although it’s unfortunate that the same week next year is Easter and the price nearly doubled in a few days of going to book it :( The apartment is lovely and cosy, has everything you need.”

It is perfect placement for town, we hardly used our car unless we went out of Newquay. The views of Towan beach and the Island are lovely and watching the surfers is great. Unfortunately there was a lot of noise on our stay, which is completely out of the control of the owners but something to be aware of, we had someone ripping out one of the apartments next door, we had guys drilling into the cliff face of Towan beach and there’s currently renovations ongoing on the Island house, it all ...

It is perfect placement for town, we hardly used our car unless we went out of Newquay. The views of Towan beach and the Island are lovely and watching the surfers is great. Unfortunately there was a lot of noise on our stay, which is completely out of the control of the owners but something to be aware of, we had someone ripping out one of the apartments next door, we had guys drilling into the cliff face of Towan beach and there’s currently renovations ongoing on the Island house, it all contributed to a few headaches and not being able to sit out on the balcony as much as we usually would. But we had a lovely little holiday, we definitely recommend checking out the little gallery of Dreya Glass on Killacourt above Towan beach, Pauline’s for your lunch, amazing baguettes and cakes and Healey’s Cyder Farm for a day out. Thanks you for a lovely stay!

“This is the 2nd Christmas here.”

When we came the first Christmas there was a Christmas tree in the living room. Unfortunately there wasn't one this Christmas which was very disappointing. Was also disappointed there was no coffee like it states on list. The water pressure was low however my husband fit the boiler so didn't have any more issues with it. The radiators in both bedrooms wasn't working. The towel radiator in the en suite also wasn't working. On the plus side the view from the living room was spectacular. Watching the surfers and swimmer in the sea. The skirting boards around the apartment was filthy.

- Stephen, December 2023

Thank you for visiting for a second time and we are so sorry that the Christmas tree was not put up, it was in the kitchen cupboard and we had assumed that the housekeeper had put it up, we shall speak with them to ensure that this does not happen again. Similarly, we will speak to them about the coffee and skirting boards, although it is regrettable that the guests did not mention this on arrival as we would have insisted that the cleaner returned to correct this immediately. This guest was in touch with us during they stay, and these points were not mentioned and so we are saddened that we did not have the opportunity to rectify them during their stay. A plumber has looked at the boiler and the bedroom radiators. As per the information leaflet, the controls for the bathroom radiators are located just outside each bathroom so that guests can adjust the bathroom radiators to their preferred temperature. We thank you again for your feedback, this is always helpful and can confirm that the comments have been addressed. We are glad that the guests took the opportunity to text us on departure to say that they has had a 'wonderful stay' and so this feedback is very disappointing and somewhat unexpected. Property Owner

“We loved our time in Newquay.”

The location of the apartment was fantastic, with an unforgettable view of the harbour, beach and Atlantic. It was very well equipped, warm, and everything we had hoped for. We would happily use it in the future. The very slight negatives are: 1) The sofa and seat in the living room weren't very comfortable. 2) The only access to the apartment is via an unlit and very quiet alleyway, which my wife found a bit unsettling. We didn't experience any problems, and we didn't see any 'dodgy characters' lurking about, but my wife wouldn't walk back on her own at night.

Jim October 2023

“Great property, great facilities, great location.”

Slight problem finding it, Sat Nav confused by Newquay's one way system.

- Jim, October 2023
Kerry September 2023

“Fabulous apartment right in the middle of everything that Newquay has to offer.”

Very comfortable and well equipped. The views were amazing. The parking space was a god send and the lift up to the first floor with our bags helped the old legs. The apartment was extremely clean and felt like home as soon as we got in. The scones, jam, cream and milk were extremely welcome thank you. Would love to return now that we know the way into the car park as even though we used the sat nav details provided it took a while due to the one way system.

- Kerry, September 2023
Teresa September 2023

“What a fantastic view of the sea from the balcony, not good to be near walkabout, very noisy.”

No tea, coffee or sugar, after a long journey it was a good job we brought our own. All the plug in smellies were empty. Did have problem with back door key.

- Teresa, September 2023
Hayley September 2023

“Having Onshore withdrawal symptons already :( You will not fail to be stunned by this beautiful apartment.”

The view sat from the balcony is stunning,and 5 minutes walk onto the beach. Starting from the parking which is very secure (if you take a second car there is free parking in front of the apartment too) The beds were comfortable and with quality bedding.There was plenty of hot water in great showers and a modern well stocked kitchen (thank-you for the milk and scones )and the seating area with comfy chairs facing the sea. Board games supplied and even Netflix for guests. 5 minutes walk to the main street and lots of shops and restaurants, far too many to recommend,but we tried quite a few. Would highly recommend this property 10/10

Joanne August 2023

“We loved it.”

The location is perfect. The apartment is large, modern, clean and has all the facilities you could ask for. The view from the balcony is amazing and we have already booked for next year: we’ve never done that before!

- Joanne, August 2023
Amy July 2023

“This is a beautiful property with the most amazing view.”

We loved the location, we could go to the beach, wander around the town or just stay in the lovely apartment. It was such a relaxing holiday but with so much to do. We would definitely recommend this property.

- Amy, July 2023
Roger July 2023

“Kitchen needs a drainer rack for the sink together with a kick stool - not all of us can reach the top kitchen cupboards.”

Very good otherwise. Also had cause to contact maintenance about the heated towel rails not coming on - message was acknowledged but nothing thereafter. We noticed the main heating controller was dead so maybe this was the cause.

We had an absolutely amazing stay the views were beautiful the apartment was beautiful really central to everything we could of needed

Susan May 2023

“We had a great time in the Onshore apartment.”

It was well equipped, walking distance to just about every thing we needed, and a good location for day trips up and down the coast. The beds were very comfortable and last, but far from least, was the brilliant view of the ocean.

- Susan, May 2023
Robert May 2023

“A very smart and spacious apartment with absolutely wonderful views, very close to the centre of Newquay and all amenities.”

Would highly recommend to family and friends, more than satisfied all our needs.

- Robert, May 2023
John March 2023

“Great location and fabulous sea view with secure parking spoilt somewhat from noise coming from nearby walkabout club particularly on weekend nights.”

Heated towel rail in en-suite bathroom not working as previously mentioned. We were disappointed that there were very few basics left in the apartment ie kitchen roll, only a tiny amount of washing up liquid, no dishwasher tablets and a tiny amount of liquid hand soap etc. But other than these points the apartment is modern and well equipped for a comfortable stay and we would consider returning in the future

- John, March 2023
Gordon February 2023

“Fantastic location and apartment.”

We would 100% recommend this to any of our friends. We will certainly be back.

“Very nice flat, great location.”

Owners very responsive whenever we needed to contact them.

Bernard October 2022

“All was perfect.”

Just a fantastic apartment. Just a few small points the heated towel rad was not working in one bathroom and could have done with a non slip mat in the shower.would recommended this apartment .

- Bernard, October 2022
George September 2022

“An outstanding apartment in the centre of Newquay perfectly positioned for exploring Newquay and the rest of Cornwall.”

Fantastic views from the living room and balcony out to sea over Towan beach. The apartment has everything you need for your stay, can not fault a thing. Will be recommending it to family and friends and will definitely return at some point next year.

- George, September 2022
Mark September 2022

“The view from the apartment is second to none.”

The apartment is in the centre of town and overlooks the beach so is in the perfect location. We have been coming to Newquay for over 30 years and this is the best apartment we have stayed in.

- Mark, September 2022
Karen September 2022

“Pros - great location, wonderful view.”

Comfortable beds, super strength showers. Netflix a very welcome perk. Secure car parking. Cons - no wardrobe in 2nd bedroom. Glass shield over hob quite dangerous! Lack of basic kitchen utensils (potato masher, slotted spoon, sieve). Bath very slow to drain. Great to have 2 washing machines, but no clothes airer? Would rather dry clothes naturally rather than waste energy using the tumble dryer.

- Karen, September 2022
Susan September 2022

“The flat was excellent, The glass table top was loose and when you rested on it it tipped up.”

Glass tables high or low ,would not be my choice when small children are running around very dangerous. The Hob extractor was too low kept banging my head on it. The settee could do with changing not comfortable. Other than the furniture the flat was very good.

- Susan, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad to see you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry you weren't happy with the glass table, I can assure you that its made to safety standards. We will check and ensure the tabletop is secured. We are in the process of replacing the settee and its due to be replaced when availability allows later this year. Thank you for your booking we hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
M August 2022

“The property was beautiful with amazing views overlooking the sea.”

It was within walking distance of Newquay town centre and several beaches including fistral. The apartment was clean, tidy and really spacious, it was well equipped, and the private parking space was a huge plus!! Loved it!!!

- M, August 2022
Marion July 2022

“Holiday heaven, what an amazing place!”

The ever changing view of the sea is incredible. The beach is right in front of you with mesmerising sounds. Behind you are the shops, arcades and restaurants. Once parked in your allocated space you don’t need to use the car again you have everything you need. The beds are very comfortable, the apartment is spotless and there are all the resources and facilities you could possibly need. Onshore is a perfect place to stay many happy memories made!!

- Marion, July 2022
Nigel July 2022

“Absolutely loved our week at Onshore.”

The view is breath-taking and the location ideal for the beach and local amenities. Highly recommend.

- Nigel, July 2022
Nicky July 2022

“We had an amazing stay at Onshore and loved it!”

We had super service from the owners who were very responsive. There were coat hangers missing from the wardrobe and these were posted the next day - brilliant! The directions were a little difficult to follow and we got lost on the one-way system. But we found it eventually. A full-length mirror in the hall would also be great for your lady guests. I would recommend this fabulous apartment to anyone wishing for a lovely holiday as it is well-appointed, spotless, has great views and is within walking distance of beaches and all that Newquay has to offer.

- Nicky, July 2022

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. We will take a look at the directions to see whether they can be simplified - Newquay in the summer is not always easy to navigate! Thank you for your suggestion of a full length mirror in the hall, we can add that next time the apartment is closed for maintenance. Thank you again for your booking. Property Owner
Helen June 2022

“Fantastic apartment in a perfect position with wonderful views.”

Everything you could ask for as a base to discover Cornwall or relax with all the facilities on hand that Newquay has to offer. We did both. The onsite parking is a huge bonus. 11/10

- Helen, June 2022
Christopher June 2022

“Superb seafront apartment, spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly want on holiday.”

Private parking is a godsend as very limited parking available elsewhere. Perfect location in the middle of everything, minutes away from all that is required. Very enjoyable stay would recommend to anyone looking for a lively holiday in the midst of everything going on.

- Christopher, June 2022
Tina May 2022

“Amazing apartment, couldn't have asked for more.”

Beautiful view, central location and secure parking facilities.

- Tina, May 2022

Wonderful sitting on the balcony watching the swimmers and surfers in the morning sun.

Katherine April 2022

“A really lovely apartment with a fantastic view.”

Every detail has been thought of. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Katherine, April 2022
Yvonne March 2022

“The property was a delight, everything you could need was provided and was in a great location for town and walks.”

Once we parked the car there was no need to use it again. Having the parking was one reason we booked here. Only one small issue was the dining table which had a glass top that wasn’t secure, if you had a young child that leant on it, it could quite easily topple over on them. This is definitely a place I will look to book again.

- Yvonne, March 2022
Rodney March 2022

“10 out of 10 will be back again soon!”

- Rodney, March 2022
Andrew March 2022

“Really comfortable and well equipped apartment right in central area of the town.”

View amazing, actually better than any photo can do justice. Parking space an absolute boon for such a central position. Very happy with stay, sad the time very quickly.

- Andrew, March 2022
Diane February 2022

“We found this property to be everything we expected and more.”

Very comfortable and clean with fabulous views.

- Diane, February 2022
Ruth February 2022

“Beautiful apartment with amazing, ever changing sea views.”

Very comfortable. Right in the centre of Newquay, so could walk everywhere. The seating area might be a bit small for four people but for two, it was fine. Lovely cream tea awaited us, which was very welcome. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the off season when it’s affordable! Although the weather was awful (storm Eunice), it didn’t matter, as we didn’t need to leave the apartment to be able to see the sea and the surfers and it was only a 5 minute walk to pick up a whole variety of food. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Ruth, February 2022
David January 2022

“We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Onshore.”

Absolutely no complaints! 5* apartment !

Tamara L January 2022

“What a beautifully appointed apartment.”

I loved the art work and the view was simply out of this world. The place was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was supplied with everything one could possibly want. And how nice to have a lift for hauling the always-too-heavy suitcase. The location was perfect; so close to the main shopping street and a short, although uphill, walk to Sainsbury in the other direction. You can sit on the balcony and enjoy watching the tide come and go around the island; and then it was was a short walk down to the beach. I did not have a car but the car park behind the building looked to be very easy to maneuver any size vehicle. I did have a "blip" one morning with the hot water heater; but Neil immediately had someone there to fix things. A great place to stay in Newquay. I highly recommend Onshore 4 to anyone.

- Tamara L, January 2022
Stephen December 2021

“Location is superb, where else can you sit in your living room.”

And watch the surfers on the sea. Well equipped appartment, pub less than 2 minutes away and town centre location

- Stephen, December 2021
Gary November 2021

“The property was well located with easy access to both the town and the beach.”

Instructions for key collection was simple and concise. The property was very clean and the complimentary cream tea was a lovely touch. We would definitely consider stopping at the property again.

- Gary, November 2021
Teresa October 2021

“Absolutely loved this apartment.”

It was lovely and clean, even the buildings entrance hall and stairs. The kitchen very well equipped and really comfortable beds. Add to this the most amazing view overlooking the sea, where in November we saw all the seasons develop each day as we watched transfixed in the comfort and warmth of the apartment. What's not to love!

- Teresa, October 2021
belinda October 2021

“This apartment is amazing.”

Would definitely stay there again. It was clean and well supplied. It had the best view ever and relaxing on the balcony watching the tide was incredible. Great that it had a secure parking space and the downstairs locker was very useful. Great central location too.

Mark September 2021

“Fantastic”

- Mark, September 2021
Colin September 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the apartment- the view was spectacular.”

The balcony was great for pre-dinner drinks in the evening. The apartment was very stylish and comfortable. It was surprisingly quiet at night considering it’s central location. Nothing was too far from the apartment. The private parking was very good. We had very good meals in Bush Pepper, 12 Beach Road and Rebellion Roast House. We did some lovely walks along the coast, aided by the good bus service. The only issue we had was our SatNav did not recognise the postcode so we couldn’t find the apartment. Luckily Denise came to our rescue and guided us there.

- Colin, September 2021
Denise July 2021

“Excellent apartment with fabulous view.”

Clean and we'll equipped.

- Denise, July 2021
Gary June 2021

“The apartment had an amazing view, close to shops.”

It was immaculate with everything you need. The housekeeper Denise was in contact throughout making you feel at ease with everything. All in all couldn’t ask for more.
