Great location and house

We stayed for a week as a family of 4 and there was more than enough space even with the kids having a room each. Property was clean and tidy and well located close to the beach. A bit of a walk into Newquay but we wanted somewhere a bit quieter away from the centre. Ideal for our holiday and we had a great time.

Beautiful accommodation in great location

You have a beautiful place with all you need to enjoy your stay at Newquay and surrounding areas. Earlier check in and later check out as well as railing to the right in stairs would make it better as it would make coming down with a sleepy toddler a lot easier. We hope we can be back as we loved the place.

Good location and very helpful owner

Steve was very responsive and the property was clean tidy and perfect for 8 people with enough living space to spend the evenings in if needed. Close to Porth beach, which is quieter than the other beaches in Newquay, and better for it. Surf school at Lusty Glaze beach also well worth it as it's a private beach and you get the place to yourself more or less.

Excellent property and location

Property has an excellent location in between both porth beach and lusty glaze. We had a fantastic time and Steve (the host) was brilliant when communicating with us both before our holiday and right at the start of the holiday with things for us to expect, even sending us a rather detailed list of places we could visit. Pleasure to stay here and would recommend if looking for a stay in the area Thanks Steve for all your help and advise Cheers Steve

Fabulous House

Book with 100% total confidence, the house is superbly positioned between 2 amazing beaches. The house itself was perfect for our family that ranged from 14 yrs old to 77 yrs old , nicely furnished, lovely bedrooms/bathrooms and a very quiet location but close to everything. The Bennett family loved it and was sad to leave Highly recommended

A really stunning property, thank you Steve, you really made our Christmas special! The house is wonderful; clean, warm, modern and incredibly spacious yet somehow feeling very homely. We all loved staying at Lusty Glaze and our kids didn't want to go home! We enjoyed the views, the beach walks, the swimming pool but mostly just chilling in such a great space which allowed easy access to so many local places. Thank you, we hope to return in the summer!

Very well situated with a lovely short walk down to Porth Beach. The accommodation was spacious, warm and clean. Steve was attentive to communications and we had a lovely time. There is a short climb out of the property to then walk into Newquay or down to Porth Beach that is easily manageable unless you have mobility issues. Highly recommended.
