Wonderful location with great communication from hosts
We had a wonderful stay and the hosts communication was fantastic. The home had everything that you need for a very comfortable stay. The location is amazing having 2 beaches to stroll to and enjoy. As previously stated some areas of wear and tear in the property but nothing that impacts on your stay or the function of the property. Thanks for a wonderful 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.

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.

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

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

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.

Lovely house
We spent a lovely week in Newquay. The house was very spacious ideal for a larger family of 5 adults 3 children and 2 dogs.
Easily accessible for several beautiful beaches. We could leave the car for the week and walk everywhere.
Thank you very much

Can‘t Beat the View
This location is perfect for touring the area. The views are stunning. The unit is spacious and for the most part clean. One of the baths has a drainage issue and one other could use a bit more attention from housekeeping. If there’s a problem the owner is quick to attend to one‘s needs.

Very good
Very smooth checking in process with excellent communication from the owner and swift action. Parking is very limited so if there are multiple guests, sourcing an alternative location for cars is advisable. Well maintained house in an excellent location.

Family break
Steve is very easy to deal with, the property was clean modern and warm. We were a group of seven with 3 dogs and had plenty of space and the living experience was comfortable. Be aware if you are a large party with more than one vehicle then parking is an issue.

Excellent!
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.

Excellent stay
Plenty of room for the six of us p. All very clean and very well equipped. Only issues was that we had more than one vehicle and had to pay additional money to park second car. If we had known before hand it would have not been a shock.

Lovely location
Property needs some tlc in certain areas, but lovely place and well equipped.
We took 2 cars as was 5 persons and for a 2nd car it’s £12 per night which is extremely high as car park was empty as out of season. Seems like the management company just want money!!

Fantastic
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!
