Description
Seascape is an immaculate, modern, second-floor apartment situated in Newquay, a minutes stroll from Fistral Beach, with stunning sea views across it and the headland.
Fabulous for families or couples.
There is lift access from the parking bay and an outdoor shower for rinsing after a surf and cleaning sandy toes.
It's just a three minute walk from the cliff access to Crantock beach and the Gannel estuary, which is accessible at low tide.
You can use the lift or the stairway to your front door which opens to an entrance hall and through to the open-plan living-dining room and kitchen area which is dominated by those views, then step through the full-length glazed doors to the balcony – wow.
There are two bedrooms – a king-size double with TV and en suite shower-room, and a twin with TV; also a family bathroom.
Large balcony with bistro table and chairs for alfresco dining and the glorious views.
A superb apartment with amazing views, just right for water sports and coastal walking.
There is so much to do and see in this lively town, and nearby there is Watergate Bay and its famous Jamie Oliver restaurant, good Golf and National Trust Trerice House to visit.

What guests are saying
We had a really lovely time staying in the flat.
It is very clean, well equipped (although I couldn't find a hairdryer). The reason for only giving 4 stars is that we didn't find the bed that comfortable and the pillows need renewing. We liked how lovely and warm the flat is, especially when we came back from bodyboarding. The outdoor shower was also very useful. The location is perfect for the beach. Everything said, we would still love to come back next year.
Hi, great stay, thank you.
Particularly like the kitchen living space and view. The sofas were good, TV good, well stocked kitchen utensils with good quality items. Very appreciate of the milk, t bags, jam, scones, clotted cream and milk as well as washing up tablets. Tumble dryer very helpful with washing machine. The bathrooms were great. The bedrooms great except very hot with no fans or mechanisms to cool the bedrooms. The en-suite window opens only a small amount and with the blinds down to stop the heat bedrooms were hot and stuffy. Either need more windows to open in bedroom and wider, different blinds so you can get a draft or a portable air conditioner unit for when it’s very hot. It has been exceptionally hot so understand it’s not been needed in previous years. Really like the wide doors etc.
Property is beautiful and close to beach.
Everything was clean, but there was quite a bit of wall surface damage here and there. Kitchen had basic equipment, but nothing more. Biggest issue we had was a lack of bin liners and only one very small bin. We were promised these were to be supplied but they never did and ultimately on the day before we were due to leave and I chased was told they couldn’t provide them. Disappointing.
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you found the property beautiful, clean, and in such a great location close to the beach. We're sorry for the disappointment regarding the bin liners. During your stay, we contacted the housekeeping team on your behalf and advised as this is a self-catering property, bins are lined on arrival as part of the cleaning starter pack, but any additional bin liners are expected to be provided by guests. Apologies for any confusion. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration moving forward.
Wonderful property!
Beautiful apartment, the place was cleaned throughly and had everything you could want. The view was amazing! The lift was great as had a disabled person in our party and the carp parking space was big enough for my large car! Place is lovely and secure. The only things for us, was the front door downstairs is super heavy when I’m trying to take cases in and out. There wasn’t no bin space left in the big bins outside and on bin day sadly the birds has attacked the bags :-( A little noisy from the bedrooms when having the windows open but apart from that a lovely stay! I think it’s the nicest property I have stayed in!
Accommodation was absolutely beautiful, home away from home with a feel of comfort and stunning views of Fistral Beach.
We enjoyed it so much we have booked again for next year. Our only thing for others to be aware of is there were young children staying on the top floor above us and they were running around constantly and footsteps definitely carry. This didn't affect us too much but anyone wanting complete peace needs to be aware its a possibility. I think the views and the accommodation itself outweigh this and the customer service is great. The shower door came off on the first day and within 2-3 days maintenance attended to fix it, we used the 2nd shower in the meantime so it was no trouble.
Our second year visiting this flat and it's perfect for us and our daughter.
Great location and view. Nice and spacious. Could use some better outdoor furniture and little homely random bit alike oven trays but that doesn't take anything away from it. That's just me being fussy. We will be looking to visit again for our third time next year
Flat 8 The Seascape was a lovely base for my friend and I whilst walking the South West Coastal path.
It was roomy, comfortable and had a fantastic view of Fistral Beach. The facilities in the flat were excellent and we both appreciated the flat having a bath so we could relax tired legs after some long walking days. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for cooking.
The flat formed the perfect base for a week in Cornwall.
The view from the Lounge is lovely. We had excellent weather. Car parking would be tight for a large car, but didn't cause us a problem. The bus station is about 10-15 minutes walk away, with the railway station a bit further. Two issues occurred but didn't wreck the holiday: the WiFi wasn't working properly on arrival, but rebooting the router and the hubs fixed that. The other thing is that the heating seems to have been set very high, so every day when we came back in we had to open windows because it was too hot, which will be causing unnecessary utility bills ... Overall, however, we had a lovely stay.
We had a fabulous stay here.
The accommodation was spotless and well equipped and the views overlooking Fistral were spectacular. Perfect location. We hope to return in the not too distant future.
Beautiful views of Fistral Beach in a fab location.
Spacious, fresh and clean with all the facilities you could need in a holiday home. 5 minutes walk to Fistral Beach and 15 mins into Newquay town center. Also 5 minutes walk to the Gannel estuary which is a paddleboarders dream. Extra little touches like the binoculars, telescope and the scones with cream and jam (make sure you get them the right way round!) were really appreciated too.
Everything is really great and comfortable.
If we want to say something, what could be better: It would bei nice, if there are some spices and oil for cooking.
Absolutely beautiful clean apartment with the most amazing views.
Loved our week there and sad to leave. Very well equipped with everything we needed. Comfy bed in main bedroom. The only down side for us was the sofas in the sitting room. Not very comfortable at all.
Hi Thanks for the feedback. The sofas are brand new so hopefully they will settle in a bit.
The layout is good for tall people but a stool is needed for those of shorter stature.
This was our second visit and we hope to repeat in future if old age allows. Thanks for a great time with a wonderful outlook.
It was fabulous the apartment and location.
Only couple of nit picks would be no hand wash in the toilets and didn’t expect to need to buy any or bring with me . Found the check in late and check out very early but Otherwise perfect
Our stay was unfortunately interrupted by 2 issues.
1) The en-suite shower leaked into downstairs number 5. Apparently this had been reported before and even I could see after the complaint that the mastic and grouting looked in disrepair. 2)The next morning the hot water ran out and 1 guest had no shower. With my experience I could tell by the fault code that the pressure was too low and that needed to be increased by finding the right connections to release more water into the system to get the bars above the minimum. This resolved the issue after finding the right place. A call was still made to ensure everything was done correctly and the system safe for us and future guests. This situation should not arise and a changeover maintenance check conducted. So disappointed in these respects but fair play to Sykes the call outs and maintenance support was pretty good
What an absolutely beautiful apartment this is.
You could sit in the chair and look at the view for a week it is so relaxing here, we slept like babies from the comfort and also the sea air. There’s everything you could need here from comfort to all the kitchen utensils, lovely white bedding and plenty of fresh white towels. There is one tiny thing I could mention and that is maybe WD40 the window and door hinges they’re a bit stiff. Also I should mention there’s no noise from surrounding apartments this must be a good insulated building. Thankyou for the milk, scones, jam and cream, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and bin bags you thought of everything. It was a pleasure to stay in such a beautiful place Thankyou.
Had a fab stay here and the view was amazing!
Apartment was very clean and comfortable with some fantastic walks on your doorstep. Fresh scones, cream and jam was a lovely welcome and very much enjoyed. Only very minor negative comment would be that it would have been good to include hand soap for the toilets. Other than that I had everything I needed for a great stay. Will definitely return.
Amazing apartment with everything you need.
Lovely views on the balcony. Had a great stay
Excellent property Spotless and clean, everything you need and views of fristral beach are amazing
Absolutely super.
Brilliant in every respect.
Great property with amazing views and good location
Reluctant to leave very positive feedback (in a way) in the selfish hope that other people leave it free for us to come again!
!!! Can't fault the place, the view is amazing the position is perfect, parking excellent the standard/quality of the apartment is very good. The pictures REALLY don't do it justice as I think someone else commented. Only negative I could say is the bedrooms face onto the road so can be noisy from passing road traffic but other than that can't find fault. Thank you to the owners for a perfect stay in a perfect apartment in a perfect location. We will be back!
This apartment is really lovely and far better than the pictures show.
The settee and bean bag are really comfy but they don’t look it in the photo. The apartment was spotless & very well equipped. In a recent review someone mentioned dirty windows but when we arrived they were clean. However, following a storm the glass balcony & patio doors were covered in spray and salt but the owners have provided an electric Kartcher window cleaner so within minutes they were clean again & we could enjoy the stunning view, again the photos don’t do the view justice. Will definitely book again.
The only drawback to our experience was the fact that the apartment had a very good balcony overlooking beauty full views over the beach, but we were unable to use it due to the locks to the doors were inoperable.
The lock’s handles had been damaged and no longer operated the mechanisms. As a couple with a combined age of 177 years one of which is rather short, we think a footstool would make using both the microwave and high cupboards more easily accessible also a list of local chemists, vets etc would be a helpful addition to the data provided.
Thank you for your feedback. Since your booking the doors have been checked and they are working fine. Many thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Wonderful stay!
! What a beautifully appointed apartment. Fabulous views of the beach, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. All mod cons including an Alexa and a Google tablet which were nice little touches. Very peaceful yet a 5 minute stroll from the beach. Beds extremely comfortable and so quiet at night. We have already looked to book again next year and it has already been taken, damn it!! :)
Overall, quite disappointing, given the excellent reviews on the website.
The main attraction is the view over Fistral beach. Unfortunately, the patio doors were FILTHY; clearly, they had not been cleaned for months with children's greasy finger marks including 'mum' written on the window as well as bird excrement. Ironically, all the other windows were spotless and were cleaned whilst we were there, but not the patio windows. We struggled with the heating controls - it was very difficult to get the room temperature below 25C, even at 4am at night in the bedroom! Given the energy crisis not very sensible. Some proper instructions would have been helpful, or the contact number of someone local who could help. Overall, the apartment was very well appointed; the massive collection of DVDs was excellent (particularly given that the weather was not very kind to us) the addition of some egg cups and another saucepan would have been welcomed. We did not find the (stained) settee very comfortable at all.
Hello, the windows are cleaned weekly by the housekeepers but because of the position of the property and the sea spray they do get dirty again quickly. We are sorry about this. A Karcher window cleaner was provided for other guests in response to this same problem.
Just missing a hairdryer.
Otherwise, perfect.
This is an excellent property with fabulous views.
The facilities are good but it would have been helpful if there were instruction manuals for the oven and the dishwasher. We also had to seek help when trying to connect to the Internet. The information in the Helpful Holidays folder was incorrect, and needs to be updated. The hub in the bedroom was very disturbing at night with all the flashing lights. The balcony doors were difficult to open and heavy, and the balcony was dirty with cobwebs. However, we did have a lovely holiday!
We really enjoyed our week long stay at this modern, spacious, well equipped apartment with amazing views of fistral beach.
There are 2 large bedrooms, 1 en-suite and a master bathroom. The main living area consists of a large kitchen, dining area, lounge and contains everything you need for your stay including WiFi, although we did have to turn the router off at night because it lit the bedroom up. A lovely touch was the scones, clotted cream and jam left for us on arrival. Great location, views and high quality equipment make this apartment easy to recommend and we would definitely return.
Fantastic apartment view is best thing waking up to every morning.
Very clean & tidy . We have a king size bed so this smaller bed obviously didnt feel the same but still a nice bed & only other thing I struggled with was the oven & hob I could only get 1 ring to work at first front left then after 20 minutes got back right to work after watching YouTube. So a manual on how to work cooker would help. Still give 10/10 & hi recommend it everyone who's thinking about booking it .
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear you liked Flat 8 Seascape and you had a nice stay. Following your comment the housekeeping team is updating the welcome booklet with more information so future guests will be able to use the appliances without having to look at videos. We hope you will visit Flat 8 Seascape again for more lovely holidays.
Really good value for money .
Very spacious accommodation. The settee was comfortable ! Previous reviews were negative about the furniture .My biggest problem was not being familiar with induction hobs and a modern oven . Could the freezer be defrosted. Left a note in the visitor book !
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy you had a nice stay and you enjoyed Flat 8 Seascape. The housekeeping team has defrosted the freezer and now is working correctly. We hope you will visit Flat 8 Seascape again in the future.
When we walked in we had the 'wow' moment, the view from the open plan room is divine, it took us a while to stop smiling.
The layout is great for a family with the two bathrooms and communal living space. We used the kitchen every evening for a meal and everything was there that we needed and more. The beds are comfortable and the water hot for a shower. The room temperature was warm so when we got back from a windswept day out we warmed up very nicely. Enough storage, not too much noise from upstairs, great to have a parking space, I would buy this apartment we liked it so much. Didn't get Time.to try the Seaspray beach cafe - gutted, we will have to come back :))
Comfortable well equipped apartment with great view.
Good place to watch surfers.. Very sunny bedroom. Convenient for Fistral Beach and the facilities at that end of Newquay, as well as scenic local walks.
Clean and well equipped apartment.
Fabulous view of Fistral Beach-surfers, sunrises and sunsets sitting on the balcony. Very useful having designated car parking space.Cornwall never fails to enchant the visitor.
The flat was outstanding and we enjoyed the views through the picture windows beyond measure - perfect for a relaxing holidays and always something new to see.
The position of the flat is perfect for access to the beach and cliff top walks. All in all a great holiday with every comfort provided in the flat - highly recommended.
This is a really lovely apartment, very clean and well appointed.
The location is excellent and the views are magnificent. We would stay here again without hesitation if it were not for the really uncomfortable sofa, dining and balcony chairs. To sink into a comfy chair or sofa at the end of a busy beach day or after a long walk would have made the apartment perfect.
Absolutely loved staying at this beautiful apartment.
My husband and teenage daughters along with myself were so happy when we arrived and it was every bit (and more) than we were hoping it would be. Definitely want to stay again, so pleased we were lucky enough to stay here x
Scones, jam and cream a nice touch also the milk in the fridge.
Stunning apartment with amazing views of Fistral beach. Excellent facilities everything thought of, really clean and well presented. Lots of nice touches the Sonos sound system and Alexa. Great to have a dedicated covered parking space with secure access to the building. Very easy to explore the local area, Fistral beach a few minutes walk and the coastal path close by giving access to Newquay and the Pentire Headland. We are missing that fabulous view and would definitely return.
Stunning, comfortable excellent apartment with amazing view of fistral beach.
Excellent facilities, really clean, great to have our own parking space, easy access to fistral beach and enjoyed walk into town. Will definitely be using Sykes holiday cottages again.
There was a ‘ cleaning issue’ on arrival date which meant we didn’t get into the flat till 5pm.
Also, there was very little info on appliances so a basic guide booklet would have been useful Apart from this, very enjoyable holiday
Lovely place to stay with a beautiful sea view.
Easy to walk to town, beaches, pubs and restaurants as well as accessing the coastal path. The flat has all of the essentials for a holiday and we were even greeted with scones, jam and cream on our arrival - delicious.
Absolute fantastic holiday apartment.
Great location and stunning views! Every thing you could ever need and more when you are away. So many good points its hard to think where to start! Washing machine was a godsend. Kitchen had every item we could wish for, on the couple of evenings when we stayed in and cooked. Great showers - plenty of hot water at all times of the day. Nice touch of the PS3 and games & huge selection of DVD's should the weather turn rubbish. Fistral beach is 5mins walk from the apartment and if you follow the coast path along its length, you'll find three great places to eat and drink! Large covered parking space for your car with secure access straight into the building and an internal lift that will get you up to the apartment if you don't fancy the stairs. Overall a great modern, clean and beautiful presented apartment - kudos to the owners! I honestly doubt you'd find a better place to stay!
An amazing view that makes the property.
Everything done well with fixtures and fittings of a high quality. We would like to return.
We absolutely loved the flat.
It was modern and spotless. The view was fantastic and I’m going to miss it. It had everything we needed and more. Surf boarders heaven. I’m 52 and loved surfing. We visited some National Trust places, St Ives, Lands end. The scones and milk were a very nice touch Thankyou x
Stunning views , beautiful beach, easy to get about , apartment is perfect and modern, everything you need is there, would definitely recommend and go back, safe parking, quiet and peaceful,very clean and everything has its place and is high quality, will be back
A lovely, modern, clean, well-equipped, comfortable apartment with sensational views of Fistral Beach.
I have a few suggestions though. A week's supply of toilet paper should have been left in the cupboard, not just one roll in each bathroom, considering the price we are paying to stay there, in a hotel, loo paper is always resupplied. One of the loo seats had not been properly cleaned, I guess that was just an oversight as the rest of the flat was nearly spotless. The flat really could do with better balcony furniture, like a rattan style set, a proper table and four comfortable chairs (as it is accommodation for four) so that the outdoor space could be enjoyed more, especially in the summer. The current plastic table and two red chairs on the balcony look unsightly and spoil the view. It would also be nice if the balcony glass panels were cleaned before our arrival so we would have a clear view of the beach. We did not find the flat particularly drafty, (we had a cold NW gale blowing), the doors have to be shut fully tight, otherwise the wind will get in, actually we found the flat can get too warm!
The photograph must have been taken with a very good zoom camera very deceptive.
Apartment was very clean but a sterile feeling and not for us I am afraid. Large windows in the lounge are draughty and a couple of nights we went to bed by 8.30 to keep warm. If I had have known how cold it was I would have taken throws. I appreciate it was October but I do feel the windows need attention.
We had a lovely week at Flat 8 Seascape.
The view is amazing and is second to none! The apartment is clean tidy and beautifully decorated. We will definitely be booking again, we can’t wait to get back for that view!
We came to Newquay by train and used taxis and buses.
It was very doable with plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance. We walked some of the SW coastal paths which were truly beautiful.
Excellent appartment.
However, WiFi falls short, extremely slow!
I had to contact helpful holidays to find out when balance was due.
For some reason I didn’t get an email. It may be an idea to make sure a later reminder goes out as this used to be the case by paper. The apartment was in an excellent location. It’s main asset is the location and the amazing view. Well furnished but would benefit from a hairdryer being provided which is standard in most holiday let’s. Lovely gesture was the cream tea provided.
The property is fantastically located (with amazing views) just a short walk from Fistral beach and within reasonable walking distance of the town centre.
In addition, the property is very well equipped and was spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend!
