Saltwater, One Lusty Glaze

A fantastic, modern apartment in a great location.

Our family of four enjoyed our stay here. It's a short walk in to town and the Lusty Glaze beach is on your doorstep. James was a helpful host and we would stop here again.

We had a lovely stay at Saltwater.

The location suited us perfectly. Having a designated parking space is also essential for us. The apartment is very good and spacious within. The facilities at the apartment were also good. Beds were comfortable too. Joining instructions provided by the owner were informative and useful including information for local facilities and restaurants, etc. We would definitely stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Saltwater.

Everything we needed, clean, comfortable & one of the best positions in Newquay. Our favourite beach Tolcarne just a short walk away & the patio at the property is great too!

When I booked this accommodation it had 53 customer reviews, all 5 star rated.

My experience was far from 5 star. At check-in the apartment had not been cleaned properly and was in a very dirty state. It had to be cleaned late in the first evening of our stay. It ruined the first day of our holiday. Furniture was also in dirty and damaged condition. It was very disappointing. I've rated it 2 stars on account of the apartments quiet location close to beaches and coast walks. Sykes staff were very helpful when I reported the problems with the accommodation.

Very impressed with the property in beautiful area and we had the added bonus of good weather.

I would recommend this property for anyone wishing to visit Newquay and would hesitate to go back.

A fantastic property in a great location - extremely clean and comfortable - in our opinion the best beach within a short walk - would definitely recommend!

2nd time staying at Saltwater and great experience.

Love the range of kitchen utilities and space. Bedrooms are very comfortable. Plenty of living space with TV's, WiFi, boardgames to keep everyone entertained should the weather or need for a lazy day necessitate. Plenty of guidance and help is at hand if needed although there's nothing unintuitive about the usual doors, windows, kitchen utilities usage. Location is great with the accommodation situated within walking distance of beaches, shops, coastal paths, mini golf, football golf, cream teas, chips shops, etc etc.. Despite this the location is away from the main buzz of Newquay town centre and evenings are quiet with sunsets a walk across the road, and a spacious outdoor area to relax on. We had great weather and a group ranging from adult to teens to my 12 year old daughter. The accommodation suited everyone's needs very well. Saltwater has its own dedicated parking spot directly outside the front so coming and going, packing/unpacking was made very easy. Travel to Cornwall's further flung attractions is great from the location given Newquay's location but with the good weather we found ourselves mostly staying local. The nearest beach, lusty glaze, is about 5 minutes walk. Porth, and obviously Newquay centre also are easily walkable. Having experienced the accommodation two successive years now I can say that it real does tick all the boxes and would thoroughly recommend. The owner has done a great job in speccing out and maintaining the accommodation. Many Thanks James. Howard

Saltwater is a fantastic home for home apartment.

It is finished to a very high standard and has everything you need for your stay. Simple yet tastefully decorated with modern furnishing and we had plenty of space for our family and parents (6 in total). The ground floor apartment suited us and we were able to take advantage of the large patio area outside. It’s perfectly positioned to walk into Newquay for a bite to eat or a wander. Lusty Glaze beach is stunning even with its steps!!

Lovely apartment, easy instructions supplied by owner prior to stay in relation to key location and how to open and close bi fold doors.

Great location, bus stop very close to property. If we were in the area again we would definitely stay again.

James was very responsive and a great host.

The apartment was beautiful and in a great location.

Lovely, modern, spacious and well equipped apartment and spotlessly clean.

Great to have a super king master suite plus 2 large double rooms. A rare find as most 3 bed properties have either a single or a twin as the 3rd room. This was perfect for our family of 4 adults. Great location, nice, quiet area but with easy access to lots of amenities close by. Spectacular views. The accommodation was exactly as described and very pleasant to come back to for relaxing evenings after busy days out sightseeing. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and to be blessed with such beautiful weather was just the icing on the cake.

Lovely location, close to beaches and town, so no need to take the car, can easily walk.

Everything was clean and tidy. Lovely host provided me with all the relevant information required prior to arriving. Will definitely return

We have stayed in a number of different apartments in one lusty glaze .

Saltwater is now our favourite. Super clean and very comfortable. We will be definitely be returning for our next autumn break .

Excellent location, very convenient for shops, beach, restaurants all within walking distance.

Nice large apartment great for families. Clean apartment with towels and bedding supplied. No trouble regarding accessing the apartment upon arrival. All round fantastic holiday and would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Cornwall and would definitely book again.

Lovely well maintained, clean apartment within 5 minute walk of beach, bakery, Tesco express/spa etc Good road links to then explore rest of Cornwall (30 mins to Eden project for example) Good communication with owner who was very friendly and informative Highly recommend

What's not to like about this property.

The location is stunning. Short walk to what is now my favourite beach in the UK- Lusty Glaze. Loads of other local beaches if this doesn't tick your boxes. Easy access to Newquay town with lots of local amenities nearby (Francines fish and chips was brilliant). The apartment itself has everything you need for a lovely, relaxing holiday. All the room are well fitted out and very comfortable. Everything you could possibly want in the kitchen for a self catering holiday. Great outdoor space for an al fresco dinner. The owner was fantastic. We had an issue when we got there (beds were kitted out differently to how we had expected). I contacted him and he sorted it out that evening- no issues whatsoever. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a great beach holiday.

Accomodation was well presented with plenty of space to relax in.

Facilities well provided for cooking and nice spacious bathrooms. Good amount of patio space and well situated to walks either into town or down the coast. Nearby lusty glaze beach and Porth a great walk down the scenic coast. Convenient for a Tesco express, bakery, chip shop all within half a mile with decent restaurants within walking distance in the town. The location doesn't suffer from any of Newquays 'revellers' even with the Boardmasters festival in full swing during our stay. Overall lovely accomodation and brilliantly situated. You could easily base yourself there and never need the car. Having said that you're within an hour of any of Cornwall's attractions. We had mixed weather but the apartment served us perfectly for all activities. Parking very conveniently directly outside. The owner was great, and has ensured there's support if needed. This wasn't required but good to have. Fully recommended and hope to stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Saltwater.

The appartment is absolutely perfect as is its location. Thank you, we hope to come back soon.

The accommodation was very good.

Excellent location, near to the beach and amenities of Newquay. General cleanliness of property very good but need to clean windows( around frame, very dirty!), also main bi-fold door had to use wd-40 as was sticking, much better once oiled. Property should be ready by 3pm as advertised!! In this hot weather, fans would have been nice in each room! Parking was not an issue, even though we had two vehicles. Overall, a very enjoyable and excellent stay. Highly recommended!

Property was as described.

Comfortable, well appointed and in an excellent location. Spacious bathrooms and kitchen. Would definitely book again through this host.

First impressions were what a fabulous property, well looked after, considerately furnished, with a great welcome pack.

After spending a week here my first impressions remain. It’s clear that James, the owner, takes great pride in his property and it shows through. In short, great property, great location - will stay again for sure!

Great location, easy parking at a modern, clean and comfortable apartment.

Had a lovely stay.

Apartment is very well positioned for walks either into Newquay, or along the coast path. The apartment felt very spacious, comfortable and was well fitted out. Directions and advance information received from James were excellent and answered all of our questions in advance. Would love to come back, 10/10.

Fantastic location for the beaches and Newquay.

Bus stop on corner if you don't want the hassle of parking in nearby towns. Great to have the outdoor space.

Lovely apartment, excellent location and quiet in the property.

Would stay there again

Wow from start to finish everything was perfect.

I asked James for some advice as we had two disabled parents with us, he took the time and effort to suggest disabled friendly restaurants and activities which we very much appreciated and it made our stay so much smoother. The accommodation is all on the ground floor with three bedrooms one en suite with a walk in shower and one family bathroom, it suited our elderly parents and there was no problem moving around the flat. The patio area was also accessible and we watched some beautiful sunsets from there. The accommodation was spotless and the kitchen was very well equipped with everything you might need for your stay. The location was excellent with many amenities within walking distance such as a Tesco, bakery, fish and chips shop, tea room and a delicious Thai truck across the road. The beaches in Newquay are stunning and we found our location central to everywhere we wanted to go in Cornwall. We would definitely stay again and having a helpful and responsive owner gave us peace of mind.

As you can charge for any damages etc it would be nice to know that you and the owner are aware of any, so that other holiday makers can be notified and not have to worry that they will be forfeited.

The only disappointment we had was that we could not see out of the windows so cleaned the patio ones ourselves. Fortunately the day before we left a window cleaner appeared.

Amazing property in a fantastic location.

Lots to see and do locally and a great base for exploring Cornwall.

Had a fabulous last minute getaway at Saltwater.

A beautiful apartment in a lovely quiet part of Newquay, near to several beaches, for some great walks. Nice comfy bed and everything we needed for a great stay. Even though we didn't need to, James the owner was available for any problems we may have had. Definitely worth a stay and hopefully we will return again

Lovely location, nice clean and tidy apartment.

The apartment is extremely well located.

A few minutes walk to the excellent beaches and 10 minutes to the town, is very handy, and being able to park the car outside is great. It is very modern with good showers, excellent beds and a well equipped kitchen. Nice big patio with sight of the sea and, if the weather allows, fabulous sunsets. James the owner is extremely helpful and very clear with instructions. Happy to recommend this property for your stay in Newquay.

Constructive criticism - there were no bags to put bedding etc in, despite that being requested.

We also spent some time looking for the wifi codes, and eventually had to phone James (the owner). He was very helpful, but surely it would be sensible to include this in the welcome pack (and also clear info on how to access the bins). However, it was a very smart and comfortable apartment, and it worked well as the base for our daughter's wedding, including the hair and make-up for her and bridesmaids in the morning. We do not blame Sykes Cottages for the distinctly Cornish weather!

The apartment is in an excellent location.

It is very well equipped and extremely comfortable with good quality bedding, towels etc. The host is very helpful and provided lots of useful information. The only slight negative for me is that I get hot at night but didn’t feel able to leave the window open as the apartment is on the ground floor. This wouldn’t stop me staying there again and overall the apartment is excellent.

Lovely apartment well situated and spotless.

Only downside the parking regulations are not enforced and had two cars parked behind us in" non bays" which made parking a bit tricky at times

Sorry the apartment was great, let down by minor niggles, the wifi was not good, my son and myself had to do some work and the signal kept dropping out, annoying but not detrimental.

The quilt for me was far too heavy I'm used to a 1.5 tog duvet, I slept on top of the bed, no duvet very comfortable. Some white wine glasses and flutes would have been nice. As I said these are very minor niggles not complaints, the two problems were the sun loungers were locked in the outside chests although the combination was set on open the locks had rusted shut, also the cleanliness of the walk-in shower was not good, dirty floor pan and hair blocking the drain, not ours as my hair is very short and my wife has alopecia arearta and is completely bald. Overall the apartment was fantastic and I would certainly stay there again, great views and access to town/beaches.

Our second stay at Saltwater, apartment is in such a great location for all the beaches, shopping and restaurants.

We really enjoy the stunning uninterrupted Sea view walks even in stormy weather !! As it’s a ground floor apartment with a massive patio, access is so easy, the patio’s great for a few sundowners of an evening. Hoping to rebook Nov 2020 if we can get in ! Great Value.

A fantastic property in an excellent location, we had a lovely stay and look forward to visiting again!

This apartment is in a great location for everything.

The walks, the views (breathtaking) and all variety of shops within walking distance. We all loved it but our holiday went so quick, I would love to return next year if we can get in as it is such a popular place. The apartment itself is spotless and really modern and James who overseas everything made sure everything was perfect for us. (every holiday home should have one) any niggles we had were sorted straightaway. There was also a lovely hotel down the road overlooking the sea which is also a café overlooking the sea, and a licensed bar for non residents if you didn't want to go too far in the evenings and owners were lovely and friendly.

Beautiful apartment in a great location.

Very generous welcome pack. Being picky we couldn't close the blinds in the evening so couldn't get total privacy. Great holiday overall.

Beautiful apartment and great location.

Unfortunately there was building work being carried out all week which meant we couldn’t open the patio doors during the day. Which was inconvenient. However the owner was fabulous and really helpful coming up with solutions. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for Sykes who didn’t seem to care at all and couldn’t have been less helpful. Would certainly stay here again, just maybe not through Sykes.

Relaxing & quite place they did have builder's working there It was not a problem.

The bedding & towels were very good quality, large bath sheets. Every thing you need in the kitchen with High spec goods. I was there 8 weeks ago with my daughter & g/daughter & wanted my husband to stay there this time, Lovely Hamper i couldn't find any faults. We would certainly stay there again..James kept us informed of any problems..

The holiday was great and the apartment was well laid out and more than adequately equipped particularly in the kitchen, it was great that there was not just the number of crockery items for the people that were booked to stay as this is the case with lots of holiday apartments in my experience.

the space in the apartment was well proportioned and well laid out, you certainly do not need any more space, the personal touches on arrival were also lovely. We would definitely recommend this apartment and it will be my first choice when we next visit.

The location was amazing, stunning sea views, the apartment was extremely comfortable , well equipped and homely.

The owner James was friendly, helpful and kind , he gave lots of useful information and his team were professional in dealing with matters swiftly. We would love to stay again, we were able to relax and enjoy the stunning sunsets, the welcome gift pack was delicious. Lusty Glaze is an excellent base, close to lots of attractions, shops nearby. The apartment is secure. Thankyou, we had a wonderful holiday.

Amazing property, all the facilities that you require.

James was extremely helpful before we arrived with information. Location was outstanding with lots of walks and loads of beaches and coves to explore. Welcome pack was a lovely touch. Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday with amazing views and walks.

Fantastic, absolutely loved the apartment!

Decorated and equipped to a very high standard, thoroughly exceeded expectations.

Excellent stay.

The owner was very helpful ensuring that any possible issues were prevented by clear and detailed information prior to the visit and responding helpfully during. Facilities were as stated and in top condition. Clean, modern and comfortable with an ideal location locally to a Tesco Metro shop that caters for anything you would need if you want to ditch the car and forego the supermarkets. Stunning 5 min walk into town above the beach.

Our apartment was absolutely wonderful, it was warm and cosy and had everything we needed.

It is also in a perfect location near to beautiful beaches and restaurants. Highly recommend a visit

Thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Saltwater-once again everything was immaculate when we arrived!

Excellent information and notifications to clarify everything before our arrival and a lovely modern, cosy and sunny apartment. Thank you James -this is a wonderful find and a in a quiet, gorgeous position to explore! The bakers across the road and Tesco Direct have all the supplies you need without needing to use the car too!!

Lovely modern apartment, perfectly located on the outskirts of Newquay town centre, but within easy walking distance.

Some very convenient amenities close by, ie shops, restaurants and takeaways, but far enough from the town centre to be quiet and peaceful. Really enjoyed our stay here and would re-book this apartment.

Lovely apartment great location big enough for six adults easily, would stay again.

The apartment was beautiful.

Very spacious and extremely well equipped. The closeness of some fabulous beaches made it ideal for what we wanted. Brilliant location, just out of town but within walking distance of both the center and lusty glaze beach. We spent a couple of days at Baywater beach which was fantastic. All in all a great family break.

We had a wonderful holiday at Saltwater.

The apartment was stunning, spotless and very well equipped. My children and I were very at home there. Would definately recommend and hope to return soon. Thank you!!

Just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable week at Number 2 lusty glaze.

Spacious apartment,top quality throughout in a quiet block and good area.Under floor heating was bliss due to the weather , bi folding doors were great and a real suntrap area outside. Don't forget the camera for the sunsets. Beautiful walks beaches shops right on your doorstep. Centrally located to visit other areas.Thanks James for all your information much appreciated.

We had a wonderful holiday and were totally impressed by the accommodation .

The kitchen was really clean and well equipped and the lounge area was extremely comfortable . It was lovely to have coffee pods provided free of charge and impressive to have comprehensive instruction manuals for all the equipment . The bathrooms had lovely toiletries and superbly soft towels . The water was hot and abundant . The beds were so comfortable and had top quality duck down quilts to snuggle under at the end of the day . It was a really secure place with parking and a lovely patio area ( which sadly we didn't use much due to the weather ) Nothing was too much trouble and when we asked about a hair dryer ( which has clearly gone missing as the instructions were there )a brand new one was immediately delivered to our door . If you book this accommodation you will not be disappointed as it it wonderfully located and of a high standard . Tesco , the bakery and local shops are within a two minute walk and Newquay town centre is only a short walk away . We couldn't recommend this place highly enough .

Amazing honest and helpful company to book through-kept us in formed every step of the way and gave useful reminders and detailed instructions for getting keys, parking etc A wonderful contemporary, clean and well placed luxury apartment with everything you would need.

The quality of the beds, duvets, towels and sofa made our break extremely comfortable and very luxurious! We are already making plans to return next year and would not hesitate to recommend Saltwater and the very nice owner who also kept in touch with us on our break to check how everything was.

This is a lovely apartment within walking distance of several really beautiful beaches- with stunning scenery and great surfing opportunities- not least Lusty Glaze bay which won the Times award for beach of the year this year.

The apartment is beautifully presented and very clean. The whole locality is beautifully maintained, clean and there were lifeguards on every beach we visited. Our grandson is too young for surfing but there were shallow areas, rock pools and acres of sand. Even at the height of the season it is possible to be away from the crowds by choosing a beach a bit further from the centre ( still walking distance) There is a Tesco Express a very short walk away and the town centre itself is not far, in other words you can leave the car and easily access bars, restaurants, beaches and other amenities giving the opportunity to have a very relaxing holiday. There is one parking space and we easily found somewhere for our group's second car in a near by street and again only a couple of minutes walk. The beds are roomy and very comfortable. There are 2 bathrooms and one has a bath as well as a shower. There are all the conveniences of home with laundry facilities, dishwasher, microwave etc and even a coffee machine-bliss! There are even chargeable torches. Younger members particularly enjoyed the number of TV's ( one in each bedroom as well as the lounge) - especially our grandson who is not used to having his own TV. There are also a few books and games etc The apartment is new so the decor and furnishings were all tip top and a lot of thought has gone into providing everything you might need for comfort and enjoying a holiday. We were on the ground floor and the outlook is towards the sea with no buildings in between - the view is mainly sky and garden and a bit of the coast/sea being on the ground floor. There is a lovely patio to sit out as well as access to communal grass and garden in front- this was great for the six year old with us - supervision is needed as the site is fairly open. Again all the patio furniture you might need is provided. In addition there was so much thought, kindness and warm welcome from the owner by providing some toiletries, tea, coffee, milk and biscuits as well as bedding and towels etc James- thank you, we had a lovely memorable week.

We were extremely impressed with the property and would recommend it to our friends and family and anyone who would like to visit Cornwall.

Top quality interior and very clean.

Very clean modern spacious apartment with excellent views of the sea and a stones throw from lusty glaze beach, within walking distance of an abundance of restaurants bars and supermarkets, the apartment had modern appliances such as a dishwasher induction hob and cooker and kettle and toaster all the kitchen equipment you need there is also free wifi with excellent download and upload speeds and a smart tv in 2 of the three bedrooms and in the living room and a tv with DVD player in the 3rd bedroom perfect if the weather isn't great , sun loungers and deckchairs are supplied to admire the views and sunsets from on the ground floor terrace accessed through the bifold doors as well as a stylish outdoor dining table which seats 6 people, the apartment also has underfloor heating not that we needed it and a washer dryer ,iron and ironing board, a tea tray was laid out upon our arrival and also a selection of soaps in the bathroom which I thought was a nice touch.

The apartment is very secure and has a free parking space which you can see from the apartment.

Lovely,new, spacious luxury apartment.

Lots of thick towels and large waterfall shower. Wall TVs in all bedrooms as well. Ideally located for water sports and for walks on the coastal path. On quieter outskirts of Newquay but Close enough to town centre to walk to pubs, shops, clubs, restaurants etc.
