  • "We have stayed in a few self-catering holiday properties and I was surprised at how easy everything was."

    The standard of the property was very high and with the information left for us and a nice greeting card we very quickly felt at home. The property was clean and very comfertable, and fully matched the images displayed on the website.

    Clean and well equipped. The owners quickly and swiftly sorted out a new aerial in one day - fantastic.

  • "A very modern appartment with two large bebrooms and large kitchen/living room."

    Not much to view when using the outside seating area. Surprisingly quiet area, if you do not include the seagulls.

  • "Hot tub was green and disgusting to use, had to contact the owner twice to resolve the issue as it had not been cleaned properly, so didn’t use it in the end to which is disappointing as we paid for it."

    The fact they had an engineer booked to service the dishwasher due to the misuse, from other people renting the apartment before us our holiday to which ruined our last day is disgusting, tradesmen shouldn’t be in the holiday rental until it’s vacant as we paid for privacy etc.. The main tv in the living room is terrible and won’t work properly as dated and needs replacing, so don’t expect much from this on an evening when you put kids to bed and want to relax. The owners sit back and make thousands of pounds without a care of who’s holiday they ruined, won’t be visiting again as its not as advertised and falsely advertised. Also it’s worth mentioning the pictures look like your based on the sea front, unfortunately your are not and it’s actually located in the middle of people’s garages and rear gardens so no privacy whatsoever. Enjoy your stay at An Droves the place is beautifully miss advertised.

    The host was lovely and we couldn’t have asked for a more centrally located property. The added bonus of private parking a real plus. The only issue was that the mattresses are a little soft, but maybe just my preference.

  • "We had a lovely week at An Drowes in June 2023 and would highly recommend."

    The property was spotlessly clean upon arrival and we were very impressed with the quality of furnishings and facilities. Everything feels brand new! We also thought the hand written card and freshly baked scones upon arrival were a personal touch. Location is great for access to the town and beaches as well as exploring other areas of Cornwall. You also have lots of choice nearby for food as well as several supermarkets. The only downside to our stay (which was quickly rectified) is that we noticed on arrival that the hot tub water was green in colour rather than clear/blue with a very strong chemical smell. We didn’t think anything of this and also didn’t want to complain, but unfortunately after the first use two of our party had experienced a burning sensation and rash on their back and legs immediately after coming out of the water and after the second day and use we all had the same. We notified this to the owner and on the same day the hot tub water was replaced with crystal clear water and we didn’t experience any further issues. Despite the small issue as it was handled quickly and as it didn’t spoil our stay, we would highly recommend choosing this property and would revisit again in the future when deciding to stay in Newquay. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  • "An Drowes was a fabulous base for our girls holiday to Newquay."

    Just a short walk into the town so it was very easy to get anywhere. The house itself was spotlessly clean and has everything you could need. The cream tea left for us on our arrival was a lovely touch. A real plus point for us was the gated parking for two cars, as we were really struggling to find anywhere with parking for two. This really gave us peace of mind during our holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend An Drowes to anyone wanting to stay in Newquay.

    Shower in room 2 is not as powerful as it could be ! The whole property is such a high spec so it was a shame about the shower ! Also beds are a bit lumpy … but some may like that ! Reminder for the cleaner….The skylight area and window ledge need a dust too every so often !!!

    It was at the end of storm Eunice so the weather wasn't great but we still managed a few dips in the hot tub once the tree above it settled down. The house was comfortable and well equipped. We had problems with the Internet mid week which got sorted the day we left... Things like this happen, but communication with the owner could have been easier. View of the sea was lovely, the house was handy for walking into town and for getting in and out of Newquay, and the parking was secure.

    A few points, probably in the key collection notes it probably would be best to say where the key safe was. We couldn’t book in till 5.00 and the weather was horrendous and it took us a while in the dark to find it. Entering the property was lovely with the Xmas tree and the cleanliness The scones were amazing thank you. We did have a problem with the hot tub as the electrics had unfortunately tripped for this and the water was stone cold which was disappointing as we couldn’t use it for two nights. The owners were very apologetic and did come out the next morning. The property was done to a high spec and the shower was amazing. Views outside the windows were spectacular. The bed for me was too soft but that’s just personal choice. We absolutely loved this place and would highly recommend.

  • "We had a lovely time, clearly a great deal of time and money has been spent on making this holiday home into a great place to stay."

    Very modern, clean and tidy. We were very comfortable staying here. Shame about the area it is in as it is very run down, but it didn’t spoil our stay at all. A couple of things I think need addressing and that is when I stripped the bedding as asked before we left. there were no pillow protectors. This is a must especially with what we have all been through in the last year, also on the duvet itself, on both beds were some yellow stains. The mattress had a protective cover but they didn’t want this stripped off. I would say that needs washing each time. Also we were very lucky with the weather and spent time sitting outside on the outside furniture. There was a lot of dried bird droppings and would of been nice if this could of been washed down and brushed away. If you have an electric toothbrush take an adapter as there is no electric shaving sockets in the bathrooms. The owners left us homemade scones with cream and jam on our arrival and milk. Which I felt was a lovely touch. Also a card welcoming us with some great recommendations for dog walks. We felt very at home all week and the hot tub was a bonus and very relaxing. Thank for letting us stay.

Holywell 6 miles; Perranporth 8.5 miles; Truro 14 miles; Padstow 14 miles.

Newquay is the home of the UK’s surf scene, boasting three major beaches, the National Surf Centre and an endless supply of rolling surf, making it a watersports paradise. The town, with its zoo, sea life centre and varied selection of restaurants and pubs, also promises a holiday to remember. For avid walkers, the South West Coast Path passes in both directions along a stunning coastline of high cliffs, hidden coves and yet more beaches. The quaint harbour and fishing village of Padstow is just 14 miles away, while Truro, with its museums, cathedral, restaurants and cobbled streets, as well as the Eden Project, can be reached within 30 minutes. Picturesque St Ives and the Tate St Ives gallery is under an hour's drive or a train ride away. In fact, because nothing in Cornwall is far from Newquay, it’s the perfect touring base.
