Customer Review Summary
Reviews paint a consistently positive picture. Alison (Sep 2025) described a "very good standard" and planned to return, while Ken (Sep 2025) called Apartment no.21 a comfortable base with "stunning" sea views and recommended it for exploring Cornwall. Multiple guests praised Lin, the housekeeper - Alison (Sep 2025) and Tracey (Sep 2024) both highlighted helpful, welcoming service, and Warren (Jul 2023) gave a detailed example of personalised touches - birthday banners, flowers and fizz - which shows hosts go above and beyond for celebrations. The clean, modern interiors and excellent location recur: Laura (Oct 2024) and Steve (Jul 2024) both mentioned cleanliness, comfort and great coastal views. Matthew (Oct 2024 and Jun 2024) is a repeat guest, noting that nothing is too much trouble and that the apartment is beautifully furnished.
Criticisms are rare but worth noting. Linda (Jun 2023) mentioned patio furniture not matching photos - folding furniture replaced the advertised wicker set - which is a practical annoyance rather than a safety issue. Warren (Jul 2023) rated slightly lower at 4/5 but still appreciated the hosts' communication. These comments appear isolated among dozens of glowing 5-star reviews, suggesting occasional mismatches between expectation and small on-site details. This may affect guests who place high importance on exact furniture or luxury outdoor dining setups.
Recurring themes: excellent location for beach and town access, reliable cleanliness and comfortable beds, and outstanding host communication and personal touches. A small number of notes focus on minor maintenance or differences from promotional photos. For couples or adult groups seeking one of the top holiday cottages in NEWQUAY with dependable service and sea views, the overwhelmingly positive review pattern is reassuring. Families with young children should note the adult-only rule and look elsewhere.
Local Guide & Cottage Review
Apartment no.21, Cornwall occupies a sweet spot on Lusty Glaze Rd in Newquay, England - think coastal calm with town conveniences a short walk away. The two-bedroom, all ground-floor apartment is roomy enough for four adults; two king-size bedrooms offer restful sleep, and the principal bedroom’s en-suite shower is a handy touch after windy beach days. The open-plan living area faces out towards the sea, where sunsets become a nightly event mentioned repeatedly by guests like John (Sep 2023) and Tracey (Sep 2024). Practicalities are covered - washer, dishwasher, microwave, electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and WiFi - everything needed for a self-catered stay.
What’s good: location, location, location. Shops and a bakery are practically around the corner, which Andreas (May 2025) and Claire (Jun 2023) appreciated. The allocated off-road parking for one car is convenient in a town where spaces can be scarce. Hosts earn consistent praise - Lin is singled out by name by multiple reviewers for friendly, proactive service, greeting guests and even arranging small surprises. Cleanliness and modern fittings come up again and again - Matthew, Steve and Laura all commented on how comfortable and well-equipped the apartment felt.
What’s not so good: the property isn’t suitable for children and has a strict no-pets policy, so it won’t work for family holidays with young kids or pet owners. The patio furniture issue raised by Linda (Jun 2023) hints at occasional discrepancies between photos and what’s on arrival - not widespread, but something to bear in mind if outdoor dining is a priority. Additional cars need to park locally, which can be a hassle for larger groups driving more than one vehicle. Finally, while scenic, the coastal location means wind and changeable weather can affect outdoor plans.
For activities, expect surfing, beach strolls, coastal hikes and easy access to Newquay’s restaurants and nightlife. The apartment acts as a calm base for exploring wider Cornwall, from Polzeath to the Eden Project on longer excursions. Several reviewers noted the apartment is ideal for relaxation and short breaks - Ken (Sep 2025) used it as a base to explore the region, and many guests praised the sunsets and views. Overall, Apartment no.21 is a reliable, comfortable choice among holiday cottages in NEWQUAY for adults wanting seaside proximity, well-equipped accommodation and hosts who care about the guest experience.
