Hotel Description

You know what really gets me about Beachcombers Apartments? It’s one of those places where the name actually makes sense once you’re there. I mean, you’re literally steps from Watergate Bay – and I’m talking proper steps, not some inflated “beach access” claim that turns out to be a twenty-minute trek through a housing estate. The apartments sit right there overlooking the sweep of sand, and honestly, watching the surfers from your window with a cup of tea becomes this weird little morning ritual you didn’t know you needed.

The thing about Watergate Bay is it’s got this raw, windswept energy that’s completely different from Newquay proper. Sure, you’re still in the thick of Cornwall’s surf scene, but there’s breathing room here – space to actually think between the crash of waves. These apartments capture that perfectly. They’ve got this understated vibe that feels more like borrowing a friend’s beach house than staying somewhere overly polished. The interiors are clean and modern without being sterile (you know that awful hotel-room smell? None of that here), and most units have those floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Atlantic like living artwork. Fair warning though – if you’re here during summer or when the surf’s firing, the beach gets properly busy, and parking can be a bit of a dance. But that’s Watergate Bay for you.

What really sold me was the little details that show someone actually thought about how people use these spaces. Decent-sized kitchens with proper knives – not those useless serrated things most places give you. Storage for wet suits and boards. WiFi that doesn’t cut out every time someone in the next room turns on Netflix. And the staff actually know the area – when I asked about tide times and where to grab supplies, I got real answers, not just pointing toward a generic leaflet. The 8.8 rating makes sense when you’re there; it’s not trying to be fancy, it’s just doing everything right for the kind of person who chooses Watergate Bay over somewhere more obvious. Whether you’re here to surf, walk the coastal path, or just stare at the horizon until your brain stops buzzing, the apartments get out of your way and let the location do its thing. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Reviews

  • Wendy from United Kingdom – 20 June 2025 (9/10)

    Perfect location, lovely and clean. Easy check-in

  • Alison from United Kingdom – 17 June 2025 (9/10)

    It was just perfect, relaxing & beautiful view of the sea

    What could be improved: N/a

  • Lisa from United Kingdom – 16 June 2025 (9/10)

    Lovely spacious 1 bed apartment number 30. Loved the position and partial seaview.

    What could be improved: Nothing to not like.
    1 minor tweak, shower door was not on stable hinges, they need fixing onto the bottom rail. This was only a minor thing. We loved everything else

  • Jill from United Kingdom – 16 June 2025 (9/10)

    What could be improved: I was locked out of the apartment complex one day as the main door had been closed and we did not have a key

  • Janice from United Kingdom – 15 June 2025 (9/10)

    Fantastic! Apartment was spotlessly clean, cosy and very well equipped! Wi Fi was great! Great location. We would definitely book this apartment again on our next trip to Newquay!

  • Tania from New Zealand – 11 June 2025 (9/10)

    Loved being near the beach and it was really quiet.☺️

    What could be improved: Hard to get hold of management to ask questions.

  • Carole from United Kingdom – 30 May 2025 (9/10)

    Exceptional quality accommodation with fantastic views. Spacious, well equipped, clean and comfortable. Great balcony with table and chairs looking over Watergate bay. Super comfy bed too.

    What could be improved: The parking spot was a bit tricky to access with a full car park.
    The views come at a cost….3 sets of steep stairs. Not a problem for me but could be an issue to others.

  • Julien from United Kingdom – 29 May 2025 (9/10)
