Newquay more popular than ever

With the surge of award winning restaurants, stylish bars and smart hotels, all opening up along the Atlantic coastline of Newquay, the area has once and for all ditched its ‘kiss-me-quick’ reputation of old without losing any of its enduring popularity. As the explosion in development has hit the town, so too has the standard in self-catering accommodation, with many holidaymakers now expecting 4 & 5 Star standards away from home. So too the expansion of Newquay Airport, with flights arriving from across the country has made the area accessible for all, even for weekend breaks.

Blue Chip Vacations represents over 300 handpicked 4 & 5 star holiday cottages and apartments, across the West Country, including almost 100 in Newquay. Each property is chosen for its stunning location, amazing coastal or rural views or hi-spec interior. Properties are reviewed each year to ensure they meet the high standard set not only by Blue Chip Vacations, but also by Quality in Tourism.

Liam Gavin, Managing Director, Blue Chip Vacations comments, “Newquay is a unique holiday destination in that it appeals to such a diverse range of holidaymakers. Family Holidays are well catered for with the resort’s dozen beaches and there are also plenty of places to visit too, such as Newquay Zoo; the Blue Reef Aquarium; Lappa Valley Steam Railway and the Holywell Fun Park. Seashore Apartments, directly on Porth Beach, are luxury properties converted from a large Victorian house, whilst Towan Place, situated beside Fistral beach, offers affordable, 5 star luxury accommodation at the UK’s surfing capital all year round and is popular with beginners, and intermediate surfers alike.”

For family parties, and friends, that want to holiday together – yet retain their own space - Newquay has plenty to keep the whole group interested. From golf to the Extreme Sports Academy, the Lost Gardens of Heligan to the National Maritime Museum, there is plenty to do in the region. The Horizons apartments overlooking Newquay and the North Cornwall coast have sensational views across the coastline and have been individually designed with excellent on-site facilities including a gym, sauna/steam room and an indoor swimming pool. The smallest apartments sleep 4, larger sleep six, so groups can holiday under the same roof and meet in the swimming pool in the morning.

Added to that some of the most rugged coastal scenery, and the success of Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant in Watergate Bay, and Newquay is fast becoming a focal point both for ‘Foodies’ keen to sample seafood cooking at its best and for walkers and birdwatchers too.
