“We stayed at C&L in March and loved it, so we came back 6 months later and, if anything, enjoyed it even more.”

It really is a great place to explore the coastal walks from and sample the delights of Newquay. So, we'll be back again soon.

The crab and lobster apartment was clean and comfortable and situated in a quiet area with just a gentle 20 minute stroll into Newquay Town centre we would stay again

“We booked this apartment last minute as they'd had a cancellation.”

The pictures do not do the property justice, it exceeded our expectations immensely. It's a well appointed property with high quality fixtures and fittings. A nice touch was having tea and coffee supplied and a pint of fresh milk in the fridge. Looking out of the window and be able to see crantock beach was the cherry on the cake

Russell July 2024

“Stunning apartment - enjoyable stay.”

But 1 Thick dust on top of wardrobes - noticed when cases put there. 2 Duvet was 10.5 tog in high summer and no additional bedding. 3. Lobby and staircase looked like something out of a tired 90s hotel.

“Lovely flat - very spacious, clean & quiet.”

I loved the modern and calm decor, it made a very peaceful stay. Really enjoyed my time here and will definitely look to come back when I’m next in Newquay. The only slight downside was the internet which was very slow for the first day and then stopped working completely, but didn’t affect me hugely as I was too busy out and about in the beautiful surroundings.

“Our second time staying at Crabs & Lobsters, having found this gem last year!”

The apartment is lovely, furnished to a high spec and the location in Newquay provides the perfect base from which to explore other areas of Cornwall.

“Me and my husband have stayed here 3 times and we cannot fault it what so ever!”

India and the owners are very helpful if we needed anything and we would highly recommend to anyone thank you again!

“Crabs and Lobsters was absolutely perfect for us.”

Newquay is just a decent and scenic walk around the gold course, but Pentire is sufficiently far away for it to have it's own quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The apartment was lovely, exactly as described. Everything went so smoothly we didn't need to have much contact beyond the normal but the housekeeper, India, was very friendly and helpful in dealing with a an arrival query. We couldn't fault it and will definitely be back.

“We stayed here last time and we booked again and we love it!”

The place is very clean and comfortable and you have your own parking space which is very helpful. Plus an added bonus of it’s only a 5-10min walk to the beach too! If you had any trouble you could easily ring or message the house keeper and you were always in the loop and they went above and beyond for us I cannot recommend this accommodation enough! Will definitely be booking again thank you for having us!

Chloe September 2023

“Absolutely stunning place and an only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach.”

Inside was beautiful and comfortable and very clean. It was great that it has its own parking space if you wanted to go out places. The only down side we experienced was that the internet within the flat was not working. We would definitely be booking again and would rate it 4.5/5

- Chloe, September 2023
Nicole September 2023

“This property it’s absolutely stunning, myself and my partner loved staying here everything was perfect, the apartment was stunning, the location only a 15minute walk to the town centre of Newquay and to fistral beach were we spent most of our evenings, I can’t recommend this place enough and would love to be able to come back to this place again!”

A massive thank you to the owners who allowed us to stay here and also a massive thank you to the housekeeper as she was more than helpful!

John August 2023

“Very disappointed with apartment we had no internet access which was a major interference with our intended holiday arrangements.”

No mobile telephone links inside the the apartment calls had to be made and received outside. Work tops in kitchen were all wooden totally impractical.

Joanne July 2023

“Beautiful apartment In a lovely quiet peaceful location but only a short walk to Fistral beach.”

Spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Can also recommend the nearby Fern Pit Cafe for excellent crab sandwiches!!

Denise May 2023

“The apartment was stunning, high spec fixtures & fitting and furnished to a very high standard which made for a very comfortable & enjoyable stay.”

Good location, making an ideal base for travelling to other areas of Cornwall. Only downside, broadband very slow.

“Crabs and Lobsters is a superb apartment.”

It was spotlessly clean, so light and airy but also warm and cosy in the evening. It is very well equipped and nicely decorated. The bed was really comfortable and there is plenty of storage space. The bathroom is very nice with a super shower. Thank you to the owners Jen & Joe for letting us enjoy their lovely apartment.

- Geoffrey, February 2023
Claire July 2022

“No. 21 Apartment was clean and very tastefully designed.”

The facilities were really well thought through and the pint of milk in the fridge, upon arrival, was much welcomed - thank you! The Apartment was clean, light and airy, with really stylish decor throughout. The bed was comfortable and the wardrobe space was spot on with a good supply of hangers and a decent hairdryer for guest use - thank you again. The lounge was very spacious and again well designed and decorated, which added to the enjoyment of that space in order to relax and eat after a day out. The only feedback that I would add is that when we had a shower, the floor got covered in water and we had to use both the bath mat and a small towel to soak up the water. We ended up rolling the bath matt around the opening entrance to the shower to soak up the water flood and it worked. Overall, we had an amazing time in No. 21 and will definitely return in the future. Thank you.

David June 2022

“Excellent stay.”

Great location (genuine 5 min from Fistral walking), Crantock too (although we drove and used National Trust carpark). Headlands and town all in comfortable walking distance. Apartments is exactly as described, bright and roomy, consider it good value and great as a base to head out and explore. Reasonable places to eat, again within walking distance, loads more if you want to jump back in the car, same with shopping etc. The only niggle being some renovation /cleaning works were being undertaken on some of the other apartments, so on most days quite noisy from 8am onwards, especially when there were pressure washing the building but not a big deal. Possible areas for improvement (despite giving a 5* rating, so these are quite subjective!): Bedroom ventilation: you can’t have the windows open at night and have a dark room. The carpark lights are really bright and shine directly into the windows, when closed the fitted blackout blinds are super effective, but when open, even a little, the mini suns from the carpark do their thing! - split A/C would be ideal but even a fan would help a little. Supplies: strict building rules about black bagging rubbish but no suitable bags provided. Empty washing up liquid and hand soap bottles in the kitchen. Sainsburys close enough so we could easily purchase, but if you need guests to use a certain type of bag, would be nice if it’s supplied.

Amy May 2022

“We had a lovely stay.”

The apartment was just like it was in the pictures. It was spotlessly clean and well furnished. Ideal, quiet location and short walks away from the town centre and Fistral Beach.

- Amy, May 2022
Hannah April 2022

“Crabs and Lobsters is such a beautiful apartment.”

We stayed for a week and I was really impressed with how big it was. It had a lovely bath which was perfect for days after the beach. The location was also really good with just a short walk to Fistral and Crantock beach. The apartment is also really clean and tidy with great facilities. I will definitely be staying again!

Paul April 2022

“The whole experience was one of great satisfaction The property and it’s location is ideal.”

Easy key access and the parking off road on site was also great. The apartment was spotless and large, vey large rooms and good viewing. Not that this has anything to do with the lovely apartment but the internal neighbours were not very nice. Experienced a little conflict over closing of doors on our arrival, apparently too loud !! I was dragging two suit cases at the time?

Allan September 2021

“The property was excellent and the cleanliness was immaculate.”

The location was great and we could walk into Newquay within 15-20 minutes. The host had even left a welcome book with handy local information which we used and it was first class.

- Allan, September 2021
Robert September 2021

“The apartment is beautiful.”

My only comment is that it lacks some Pyrex dishes to serve meals, iron and ironing board..

- Robert, September 2021
Anne August 2021

“After our wonderful stay in Whitby we used Sykes again.”

On arrival we were shocked at the sparseness of the furnishings. A cavernous loft apartment with only a two seater sofa facing a television. There was a coffee table in front of the sofa. Nothing else! There was a washing machine but on phoning the agent I was told an ironing board and iron was missing as it was a health hazard. I expressed dismay at the lack of furniture and amenities at the apartment and she replied that it belonged to a lovely young couple who had just bought the apartment and couldn’t afford to furnish it!!! The huge bedroom contained one bed and 2 bedside tables and fitted wardrobes. Nothing luxurious. There was nowhere to sit, no dressing table for hair and makeup. Hardly the ‘romantic’ apartment advertised. The agent offered a bottle of Prosecco in compensation but it never arrived. Little things like one tissue in the tissue box, very cheap flimsy lavatory paper and big things like no dishwasher, ironing facilities and four flights of stairs to the apartment were a great disappointment. Nobody with health issues, heart, mobility etc., should consider this apartment. ‘Romantic’ certainly not. For a one bedroom apartment this was greatly overpriced.

“Lovely light accommodation.”

Had a lovely week here.

- Kimberley, August 2021
Dina July 2021

“Lovely apartment but internet speed was almost impossible.”

Owner really needs to upgrade I internet package/speed. Fridge was unplugged when we arrived (didn’t realise) and have already spoke to a representative - promised a £25 refund for wasted food, have not had this yet? Also, door stops provided were not sufficient to stop the doors from loudly banging closed.

- Dina, July 2021
Steven July 2021

“Really enjoyed our week at Crab and Lobsters!”

Loved the accommodation, really local to everywhere, parking a plus, the owners have thought about everything here! Very high end furnishings and finishes! Thank you and we would book this again! Cheers Steve and Nik!

Lisa July 2021

“Lovely apartment very well maintained and a home from home , great location just a 6 min walk from Fistral beach.”

Would sultan in this location and apartment again, we’ll worth the money! Just one comment and this is being really picky, the apartment had no kitchen bin of any size. Thanks so much for lending your home to us!!

The property

Resting in an elevated position just outside the centre of the thriving town of Newquay, Cornwall is Crabs and Lobsters, a delightful second-floor apartment boasting lovely views and a contemporary décor.

Ideal for a romantic retreat, the apartment offers sought-after off-road parking while being within walking distance of Newquay town centre and golden sands at Crantock beach and Fistral beach.

Arriving at the property, park your car and climb the stairs to the second floor to reach your dwelling.

Stepping into the apartment, the open-plan living space greets you with an abundance of light pouring in through the large window, fitted with patio doors and a Juliet balcony.

Cosy up on the sofa with your loved one and settle in to watch the Smart TV after an exciting day at the beach.

From here, take advantage of the well-equipped kitchen, fitted with all the necessary appliances for your self-catering requirements; the sleek, fitted kitchen is home to a gas hob, an electric oven, a microwave and a fridge/freezer, where you can cook up a storm to enjoy at the dining table while you plan your next day of adventures.

As the evening draws to a close, retire to the bedroom for some well-deserved rest; the spacious bedroom hosts a plush king-size sleigh bed and plenty of storage for you to unpack your belongings in this home away from home, as well as boasting chic furnishings and a neutral décor.

Completing this stylish abode is a bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower, a basin, a WC, and gorgeous roll-top bath where you can relax and unwind in the bubbles after a day of discovering your surroundings.

If you don't fancy cooking throughout your stay, there are numerous restaurants, cafés and pubs just a short walk from the apartment; Sea Spray is a delightful café offering an all-day menu and pretty sea views, while slightly further into the town, The Fish House Fistral offers a delicious fresh seafood menu.

Spend your days at one of three stunning sandy beaches; Fistral Beach, Crantock Beach and Poly Joke Beach are all within easy reach of the abode and offer wonderful surfing opportunities in the ever-rolling surf, amongst other watersport activities.

If relaxation is more your style, the fantastic beaches provide a beautiful setting for catching some sun and building sandcastles with your little one, before grabbing a light lunch and an ice cream.

Animal lovers will be pleased to discover the superb Newquay Zoo, home to dozens of exotic and endangered animals set within 13 acres of idyllic tropical gardens, and the Blue Reef Aquarium Newquay, which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and provides an insight into the fascinating sea creatures just off the Cornish shores.

Branching further afield, a short and scenic drive will bring you to Perranporth, home to another wonderful beach and a boating lake, where you can tour the lake and stop for a coffee and cake in the café.

Whatever the weather, Crabs and Lobsters is the perfect base for a romantic holiday to Cornwall's immense coast.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
