Property Location
Newquay is known as the UK’s surfing capital and is one of Cornwall’s most popular holiday destinations. Numerous sandy beaches lie just moments away from the town centre where visitors will find a high street, pubs, bars and restaurants. In the past, Newquay was a major export port for the counties mining efforts as well as a north coast port for pilchard fisheries; these days Newquay's excellent surfing waters are the towns main industry. Perhaps the most famous is Fistral Beach, which holds many surfing competitions throughout the year. Both the Women's and Mens Gig Championships are held here, as well as a balloon festival and surf and lifesaving events. Newquay Zoo now houses 130 different species in sub-tropical gardens in the centre of the town.
Neighbouring Watergate Bay and The Extreme Academy offers you a 'ski resort on a beach' and a plethora of activities to keep even the most active occupied. The Lappa Valley Steam Railway just outside Newquay offers both the old and young an interesting day out. Newquay Airport has made the north coast one of the easiest places in Cornwall to get to, with regular flights from various locations across the UK. The town also has an Aquarium, a Waterworld and numerous immensely pretty beaches for the less active. Trerice run by the National Trust is 3 miles outside of the town is an Elizabethan Manor House and Garden with restricted winter opening times.
Mawgan Porth, between Newquay and Padstow, is one of the Atlantic Coast's most famous stretches of sand. Tucked into a narrow, steep-sided valley, it is no surprise that this is one of Cornwall's most popular resorts and a great base to explore this stunning part of the county.

Beautiful setting
Reviewed on 23/09/2021We loved our stay at Penrose Lodge. The open plan living area is beautiful with stunning views. The tennis court was great. On arrival there were delicious homemade scones, jam and clotted cream awaiting us and milk for a cup of tea - plenty of tea bags and coffee too. We also enjoyed the bottles of wine and sparkling water provided. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms were spotless and showers were powerful. There are lovely walks from the door. We recommend walking on the coastal path to Watergate Bay and back along the beach at low tide - a stunning walk! We will definitely return to Penrose Lodge.

Penrose Lodge
Reviewed on 23/09/2021Great Location and views over the bay. Peaceful and pretty. When we arrived nice home made scones to welcome us. However it wasnA?t particularly clean. The downstairs toilet was dirty and needed bleaching and scrubbing. The fridge was dirty and needed cleaning. These are basic things that should be addressed. Some of the outside furniture was broken and dangerous it should have been removed. We were lucky to have warm weather during our stay. However on returning from days out the lodge was unbearably hot. They need to put some blinds up at the vast glass frontage. The stairs were manageable but very narrow. The shower entrance in upstairs bathroom was very narrow and unless you are very slim itA?s a struggle to get in! Basically itA?s a great property but more attention needed on above points and general cleaning. Cobwebs inside and out especially at these times when everything is supposed to super clean.

A fantastic holiday in a beautiful location.
Reviewed on 10/09/2021This was a really lovely place, the location was amazing. The views were stunning. Enjoyed the scones left by the owners. A very tranquil place. To give some construction cristism the place is starting to get very dated due to lack of maintenance, e.g both toilet seats loose, both bedroom blinds broke, very dirty external glass panels outside, very dusty overall, the bifold doors seen to have a issue at the top. The sofa looks like it needs replacing and decoration a bit poor, a coat of paint would do wonders and some missing light fittings replaced. Just a bit of TLC needed would truly make this place 10/10. A bit of advice to future people, the spiral stairs are extremely narrow and the bathroom upstairs has a very narrow entrance to shower, if your on the larger size you will struggle to fit in there.

Lovely location
Reviewed on 09/07/2021In a lovely quiet location about 20 mins drive from Newquay, with spectacular views. Overlooks the owners garden but we rarely saw them. Unlimited use of tennis courts and some old racquets provided. Outdoor furniture is a bit tired. The owner left us some homemade scones which were fabulous. We really liked the property but itA?s just needs a bit if TLC. The bed in the upstairs room is very squeaky and uncomfortable but the bedding was freshly laundered. The blinds in both bedrooms are broken and donA?t cover the windows. Anyone on the balcony can see into the bedroom. Some of the ceiling lights donA?t work and unless youA?re very slim, itA?s difficult to get into the shower in the upper bathroom. The sofa needs replacing and it does rain in very slightly in the lounge. There arenA?t many cooking utensils either. We enjoyed the holiday though and it was a very peaceful location.

A bit disappointed ....
Reviewed on 25/06/2021Penrose Lodge has the most amazing views, and is a fab location. The owners are very lovely and friendly people and so I was in 2 minds about this review but I hope some constructive feedback helps them to improve on what could be an incredible venue. 1. The property could do with some TLC - windows are very dirty, lots of cobwebs, garden furniture left in the rain and so soaking wet cushions, dirty cutlery in the drawer, broken blinds in the bedroom so you cannot see the full beautiful view 2. The spiral staircase from the main floor to the downstairs area is very very narrow and not suitable for 'curvy' people - it is also quite unstable 3. The gap between the fixed shower screen and the wall is very narrow and if you were on the curvy side may have problems actually getting into the shower 4. The kitchen is not very well equipped - no bread knife, no large cutting knives, no large bowls for salad etc 5. There are no blinds to the main part of the property which is floor to ceiling glass - this is stunning at night where you can see down to the beach but when the sun is out it is like a greenhouse and even with all of the doors open (no windows) - the heat is unbearable to the point we had to take my grandson out to get away from the heat 6. lots of rusty and broken bits and bobs left outside the property On the positive side - the bathrooms are lovely and the shower is fab and hot and powerful. The beds are amazing and so comfy to sleep in. The biggest positive is the peacefulness of your surroundings and the views out over the sea and the surrounding countryside - very idyllic. We enjoyed our stay but it isnt a property I would revisit.

Outstanding location
Reviewed on 27/08/2020An incredible location with stunning views of Porth and the coastline. Beautiful sunsets on most nights. Great accommodation with lots of space. The only negative is that we thought the kitchen could do with a few more plates, cutlery, utensils, serving bowls etc. We hope to visit again soon!

Great place- we'll be back
Reviewed on 23/07/2020Great apartment. Amazing views. The apartment is very nice and spacious and well thought through. It is possible to do some nice walks in the area. It was nice and quiet as the only neighbours are the owners. The children loved the tennis court. We'll be back for sure!
