About this property
Pasadena, a fabulous, four-bedroom home rests in the heart of Newquay, a bustling resort near the Cornish coastline. Enjoying estuary views, overlooking Trenance Gardens, and within walking distance to the beach, a hub of amenities and attractions, Pasadena offers a stylish, fully-equipped base for a family, looking to retreat to this lovely part of the county. Be welcomed by a charming lawned garden, with a private driveway for convenience, possible to fit four cars. Step indoors to be met by two double bedrooms, both resting on the ground floor, where you can unpack your belongings and make yourself at home. Travelling down to the lower-ground-floor, be wowed by the open-plan living space, featuring a sleek kitchen with breakfast bar, a dedicated dining area, and a homely sitting area with a woodburning stove, Smart TV, and plush corner sofa, enjoying views out to the rear garden. Use this space as your social hub, to prepare meals, dine and plan your itinerary, or if the weather allows, be sure to enjoy an alfresco affair, with breathtaking views over to River Gannel. When sleep calls, two further bedrooms can be found on the first floor, including a double and a spacious super-king-size room with an en-suite, whilst a contemporary bathroom services the rest of your group. Once you're ready to explore, be spoilt for choice when sampling local menus or heading to the shops, with plenty of amenities upon your doorstep, whilst attractions are also nearby, including Newquay Zoo, Blue Reef Aquarium Newquay, the sandy landscape of Newquay Beach, and the picturesque cove of Little Fistral Beach. Follow the coastal path around for further beach days, with both Holywell Bay and Perranporth Beach renowned for their beauty, before dining out at the Summer House restaurant, set upon the waterfront. Be sure to finish your break in Padstow, where you can adopt a lobster at the National Lobster Hatchery, board a Padstow Sealife Safari - Wildlife Watching Boat Trip, sample some local produce at an eatery upon the harbour, or hike up to St George’s Cove for cliff top views, before returning home for sundowners. All of this and more awaits at Pasadena.
Newquay is the home of the UK’s surf scene, boasting eleven beaches and over seven miles of golden sand, three major beaches, the National Surf Centre and an endless supply of rolling surf, making it a beachlovers and watersports paradise. The town, with its zoo, sea life centre and varied selection of restaurants and pubs, also promises a holiday to remember. For avid walkers, the South West Coast Path passes in both directions along a stunning coastline of high cliffs, hidden coves and yet more beaches. The quaint harbour and fishing village of Padstow is just 14 miles away, while Truro, with its museums, cathedral, restaurants, and cobbled streets, as well as the Eden Project, can be reached within a short drive. Picturesque St Ives and the Tate St Ives gallery is just a train ride away. In fact, because nothing in Cornwall is far from Newquay, it’s the perfect touring base.

Instructions for the various facilities would be a real plus. We were freezing.

Close to loads of beaches. The house was generally clean but both bathrooms are tired and had signs of mould especially main bathroom. The garden furniture was also tired and not really useable. The garden was fab and children loved playing in it. The property just needs some updating
