Description

Located on Mount Wise in Newquay, overlooking the Gannel estuary, and offering sea views out to Crantock, the Pentire Peninsula and Fistral Beach, is The Lookout, a contemporary, open-plan, second-floor apartment in the heart of Newquay.

This property is the ideal accommodation for a couple, two couples or a small family wanting to explore the coastline of north Cornwall and enjoy Newquay's famous surfing and watersport beaches.

Enter the property and discover the stylish, clean and bright open-plan living room, with a compact but well-equipped kitchen area with sleek white units and ample worktop space for creating delicious meals, which can be enjoyed at the lovely glass dining table.

After dinner, relax on the corner sofa and enjoy a film night on the Smart TV, or simply admire the picturesque sea and countryside views available from the Juliet balcony.

The property has two spacious double bedrooms, one of which has patio doors onto a spacious balcony with outdoor furniture and have a morning coffee.

There is a dressing room with ample wardrobe space and a dressing table, where you can get ready for each day, as well as the stunning, fully-tiled bathroom suite, with shower over bath and a heated towel rail for extra comfort.

You are within short walking distance of a range of amenities, as well as pubs, bars and restaurants and a selection of Newquay attractions, like the Blue Reef Aquarium and Killacourt park, which offers sea views.

Stroll along the Gannel estuary towards Pentire lookout point, which offers views towards Crantock and its lovely sandy beach.

Enjoy a round of golf at the spectacular 18-hole golf course, stroll around the idyllic harbour, watching the boats bobbing in the water and try a surfing lesson at the Surf School before heading out into the water and taking on the rolling waves of the Atlantic at any of Newquay's fantastic beaches, which includes Fistral, Great western and Newquay Beach.

Walkers can join the South West Coast Path to explore the stunning coastline and take in some incredible views and attractions, whichever direction you head in.

Venture north towards the Trevose Head Heritage Coast, enjoying the views at the National Trust's Carnewas at Bedruthan Steps, stop for some delicious and fresh fish and chips at Rick Stein's, see the 19th century Trevose Head Lighthouse and visit Tintagel, known for its castle which was the birthplace of King Arthur, as well as the nearby attraction of Merlin's Cave.

Head south to enjoy the glorious beaches of Crantock and Perranporth, as well as the picturesque St. Agnes Heritage Coast towards the popular town of St Ives, known for its arts scene, with the Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Museum well worth a visit.

The cathedral city of Truro and the renowned attraction of Eden Project are also a short drive away.

The Lookout is a fantastic property to base your north Cornwall adventure.

Really nice modern flat with very convenient parking .

It was really close to the town - just 7 or 8 minutes walk . It was a bit steep coming back but we actually found a short cut which was a bit easier. We were very comfortable and would stay again. Unexpected bonus for my partner was a dressing room where she could do her make-up. We noted other reviews saying that kitchen pans were not usable and we were not sure if they'd been replaced so brought our own with us as we cook rather than eat out. I can confirm they have not been replaced so, if it's important to you, bring your own frying pan and saucepan. The oven tray was fine. Balcony furniture isn't great but it would have been awkward to eat out there anyway as it's situated off the bedroom.

This is my fifth stay here.

...only 3 minutes walk into the town, yet quiet, being up on the hill. The hill is quite steep if you are not great at walking.....but at 59 I found it easy enough. Clean and bright and will definitely be back. This time I even fixed their tide wall clock....which has never worked since I first stayed there about 5 or 6 years ago. Hopefully it will still be going the next time I stay! See you next time ! Booking through Sykes was nearly £300 cheaper than one of their major competitors! Thats a big difference.

Lovely flat handy to have a parking spot.

Central to Newquay. Walking distance to town. But.... The 2 things that let this flat down is the kitchen and bedroom. The kitchen pots and pans are absolutely not fit for purpose. Wobbly handles barely attached. Both pans scratched beyond belief. All the way through the coating. Had to go out and buy a pan set. Not what you expect to do when paying £ 1,000 a week for a holiday flat. The second problem is the awful mattress in the front bedroom. So uncomfortable. Big dip in the middle where you can feel the springs. Not acceptable when booking a top of the range flat. Emailed Sykes about this but as expected never got a reply. Very very disappointed.
