We stayed at Ocean view during an early July 2026 mini heatwave! (very rare for Newquay, we know, we've been there 16 times and stayed all over the town and never had weather this good!)
The good point about Ocean View is it's location, being fairly near Fistral beach (although not as close as Headland Road area apartments are). It is a short walk to Sainsbury's, town center shops, the Harbour and the local pubs (Like the Red Lion and The Fort Inn).
The apartment was clean when we arrived (and when we left!)
It has a nice open plan upstairs kitchen/dining space leading onto the balcony area. You could just about see some of Fistral bay and the golf course from there as well as having a view towards the Atlantic hotel to the north.
The local pigeons are so friendly that they often just strutted into the kitchen! So mind you don't shut one in when you go out.
The rooms were a decent size as well.
There were a couple of drawbacks.
Unusually for Newquay it was very hot, we brought a fan or two but could have done with a few more supplied.
We seemed to be lacking pizza wheels and a few baking trays
The main bedroom has a shower and toilet in it, but weirdly no dividing wall or sliding door between them and the bedroom which lacks privacy if you want that.
The upstairs balcony could have done with a little better furniture and table to eat around.
There is a tap on the lower balcony for potentially washing out wet suits after a surf (and you can access it from the rear of the building via some steps), but it didn't have a drain below the tap so the water just flooded along the floor so we stopped using it. You could have put surf boards on this area and you can access it from the back alley way, but you can not get in through the back door leading to the lounge, it didn't seem to have a key and if it did, it was sealed up in a corroded Masterlock.
Although Ocean View can accommodate 8 people, who would naturally have to arrive in more than one car, it only has one parking space. So additional cars will have to park 400m down the road and incur additional car parking charges.
The other parking space you see in the picture is for the adjacent property which interlinks in a strange structural way with Ocean View.
The lounge is ok and the TV just adequate but you would struggle to get 8 people seated in that room if you were a large party hiring this place. WiFi seemed to work well.
In summary we enjoyed our stay here and it one of the few places near central Newquay with 4 bedrooms and at a reasonable hire rate. We hired it because 7 of us were on this holiday this time. It is not one of the better appointed apartments we have stayed at in our many Newquay visits, but it is a decent option if you want somewhere that is in a good location, for a reasonable fee, for a large party (7 or 8 people).
