Rum & Raisin

Rum & Raisin: Cornwall

There's a distinct boho edge to the interior design in this Newquay apartment, what with the hanging macrame, house plants and array of woven furnishings. Mixed with the natural light from the skylights and the stark white walls, it's inescapably relaxing. The neatly tiled bathrooms bring a touch of spa quality and the wooden dining table illuminated by the overhanging light fixture is ideal for gathering the group around for a hearty supper after a day out at the seaside — there's no shortage of beaches in the town, that's for sure. Tolcarne Beach is only two minutes' walk away and the larger Newquay Beach takes ten. An added benefit is that the apartment itself has storage options for surfboards and bicycles, which gives you alternative ways to explore the Cornish coastline.

Home truths:
*A high chair can be provided if required
*There are also two allocated parking spaces for the apartment on the frontage ideal for one large and one smaller vehicle — there are extra free spaces on the street, too
*The second-floor apartment is only accessed via a staircase, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
*Hen or stag parties are strictly forbidden
