Beach Retreats Avis 

We had a fantastic stay at Fistral View. The house is lovely, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and comfortable, with a perfect location just a short walk from the beach. There were plenty of towels, and the comfy beds with quality bed linen made it feel even more welcoming. The view from the top floor balcony was a real highlight, and we loved watching the sunset.

It had everything we needed for a self-catering holiday, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of thoughtful extras. The body boards and beach accessories were a brilliant bonus and made our beach days even more enjoyable.

A real highlight was Quiksilver Surf School, which is only a five-minute walk away. They were excellent for both surf lessons and surfboard hire, making it so easy to make the most of our time on the water.

We also loved The Boathouse at Newquay Harbour. With a great selection of independent street food vendors, there’s something to suit every taste, making it a brilliant spot for lunch or dinner. The frozen strawberry daiquiri is a real treat and definitely worth trying!

Fistral View is an excellent base for exploring Cornwall, with so many beautiful places within easy reach. A trip to Padstow is a must – it’s a lovely little fishing village with plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants, making it a great day out. The kids also had a great time crabbing from the harbour walls, which made for a lovely afternoon

The only disappointment of the week was the England score, but we certainly couldn’t complain about the weather – we were spoilt with sunshine!

We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend Fistral View to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway.

We have just returned home after a wonderful weekend in this amazing apartment. Staying in the apartment were four couples each had ample space across the four bedrooms and the communal spaces were excellent for eight people to live comfortably for four nights. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. There was a lovely surprise welcome box with some essentials in and the apartment itself is brilliantly located. The views from the lounge were absolutely breathtaking looking out across the sea, the sand dunes and the famous watering hole pub. Perrin Perth High Street is a very short walk away with cute local shops, cafés pubs and a butcher. We would not hesitate in staying here again or recommending it to others.

Have been with Beach Retreats a few times now and haven’t found anyone better. Info and communication second to none. Always helpful and friendly when booking. Simple process.
Properties are always fantastic. 3 The Bay at Cawsands is our favourite. Fantastic sea views. Dog friendly properties too which is a must for us.

8 of us spent a week here-two families of 4 with teenage children. All of us loved the facilities-the gym, yoga room, sauna and hot tub all got used every day - it was fabulous to come home after a day at the beach or walking the coast path and relax in the sauna and hot tub before dinner. There was something for everyone, including the two dogs who loved heading to the beach every morning before breakfast. The property itself was beautifully presented and there was always somewhere to have your own space if you needed. The location was spot on-we already loved Mawgan Porth and had been before-big sandy beach with life guard cover and a surf school, as well as plenty of options for takeaways or eating in. Would highly recommend!

"It's not cheap, but it's become yearly treat. We've been coming to Perranporth for many years and it holds so many family memories for us. The view when we wake up, the walks on the beach, through the dunes and along the cliffs, followed by a drink at the Watering Hole are the perfect start to every day."

"The Swell is a spacious, very clean, well-equipped and comfortable house. It is ideally located above swanpool and just a few minutes walk to the beach and coast path, ideal for a family holiday. We would recommend it without reservation."

Great experience good choice of properties

"Great place to spend holiday time, lovely restaurants and places to visit. Accommodation was amazing, clean, tidy, pet friendly and had everything you could want in an apartment. "

No.1 The White House was amazing. Clean, cosy and had everything we could ever need. We loved it."

Had a wonderful break. Perfect location. Lovely well equipped, spacious apartment

We stayed at Sea Wall cottage in Porth. It is a great location, superb beach view sun room and a cosy place. We get a welcome pack with dishwasher tabs and tea towels- this makes such a difference. And Beach Retreats are easy to contact if you need them

From looking, to booking and whilst at the property so easy to deal with. What I found really useful was the on line guide that they provide for each house once you arrive. It has everything from how to use the various appliances, rubbish collection and local places to eat, drink and visit. The house was beautiful, it had everything we needed and felt so homely with the lovely decor and furnishings.

Absolutely fabulous company to deal with.
Helpful and friendly staff who are very knowledgeable in all aspects.
The property was exactly as advertised and all dealings with Beach Retreats was 1st class.
Well done.

Excellent experience and the accommodation was perfect thank you!

We've stayed with Beach Retreats five times now and have always been very happy indeed. Amazing locations right on the beach, very high standard of accommodation and 5* customer service. I suffered a significant injury a couple of years ago and was unable to go on holiday when we were booked with them. They could not have been more helpful. Can't recommend them highly enough

nice cottage, really beautiful restorated in small fisherman village, more personal service compared to booking.com. I could feel much more responsibility compared to recent experience with booking.com.

Excellent pre arrival communication and tips on where to go and what to do. The quality of our apartment was exceptional. The welcome goodies of milk, apple juice, tea, coffee, biscuits etc was lovely - this might vary by property.

Communication was super clear and I could find everything in one place easily.

I would definitely book with Beach Retreats again!

Barwick in Mawgan Porth is a lovely property complete with outdoor entertaining area with a Bar, Pool and Hot Tub.
It also has a Ring DoorBell which the owners use to watch what you get upto during your stay - its on the front door which you use to access the Pool etc so be aware!
Beach Retreats have a default approach to mistrust the renting family in favour of the Owners so do not expect any customer concern or support from them.

Flat 12, The Pearl, Newquay. We had a disappointing start to our 3rd stay (in as many years) on the first stay due to an unruly dog sheepdog in the flat below. Whilst unpacking the car, the dog was repeatedly allowed to charge up to the flat's balcony railing, barking and growling. Unfortunately, this continues throughout the rest of the day every time someone else entered the car park, passing the flat to enter the building. In the evening, guests arrived to said flat and the dog continued with intermittent barking until past 2200 hrs. Following our feedback to Beach Retreats the following day, the issue with the dog was resolved very quickly. We were made aware that the flat is occupied pretty much all year around by its owner. To our surprise, two days before our departure day, we overheard a conversation between the flat/dog owner and a visiting engineer, referring to us as 'ackward' people. Needless to say that we can not recommend flat 12 in The Pearl.

Used Beach Retreats for nearly 10 years. Would not use anyone else and risk not being as happy with the service.

Super Service, Ellie is the office is fantastic and super helpful. Very personal booking service would highly recommend.
