Expertly styled and furnished to a high standard, Whipsy brings together contemporary comfort, sea-view living and a wonderfully relaxed holiday atmosphere. Two luxury bedrooms, open-plan social spaces and two balconies create an easy and inviting layout, whether you’re travelling as a party of four or escaping as a couple for time out on the coast.

From Whipsy, guests can walk to Whipsiderry Beach in just a minute, or wander down to the sandy shores of Porth for relaxed beach days, sea swims and family-friendly fun. The wide expanse of Watergate Bay is also close by, loved for its surf, beachside dining, big skies and spectacular coastal walks.

A fab apartment that we enjoyed staying in, with spectacular views
On arrival, a lift takes you to the first floor and into the calm of this beautifully designed single-level apartment. Step inside and let the sea views draw you in, with the open-plan living, dining and kitchen space forming the relaxed heart of the home. Light, spacious and wonderfully sociable, this inviting area is made for slow mornings, salty afternoons and easy evenings beside the coast.
Bi-fold doors lead straight out to the sea-view balcony, bringing the fresh Atlantic air and ever-changing coastal scenery close. Days at Whipsy are made for slowing down: sink into the comfortable sofa-with-a-view and watch the waves roll in, the sky shift colour and the coastline glow in the evening light.
The smart kitchen is perfectly placed for preparing relaxed breakfasts, beach-day picnics and delicious suppers, while the dining space invites everyone to gather for those precious holiday moments with nowhere to be and no deadlines to meet. Open a bottle, share stories from the day and let the sound of the sea set the pace.
The primary bedroom is located on the seaward side of the apartment, offering an indulgent haven of style and calm. A perfectly positioned super king bed captures views towards Newquay harbour, creating a beautiful place to wake slowly with the sea beyond. A contemporary ensuite wet room adds to the boutique feel, making this a restful retreat after days spent on the sand, in the surf or walking the coast path.
The second bedroom is located to the rear of the apartment and features a super king zip/link bed, offering excellent flexibility for children, friends or couples travelling together. Calm, comfortable and thoughtfully styled, it provides a peaceful space to recharge after long days of Cornish adventure.
The family bathroom is no less considered, with a deep bath and stylish fixtures and fittings for a luxurious post-beach soak. After salty swims, sandy toes and windswept walks, it’s the perfect place to unwind before another evening by the sea.
Slide back the bi-fold doors from the primary bedroom and living area and step out onto the balconies, where sweeping views stretch up and down the North Cornwall coastline. From this elevated position, you can watch the surf roll in, follow the changing light across the bay and enjoy the simple pleasure of sea air from morning until night.
The balconies create wonderful outdoor extensions of the apartment, perfect for morning coffee, lazy lunches and al fresco suppers with the coastline as your backdrop. In the summer months, settle in as the golden sun sinks into the bay, turning the sky and sea into a beautiful evening show.
Whipsy’s location makes coastal exploring effortless. Stroll to Porth Beach in under 5 minutes for family-friendly beach days, sea swims and relaxed cafés. Join the South West Coast Path and walk to Watergate Bay in around 15-20 minutes, where wide sands, surf schools and beachside dining make it a favourite in every season.
Newquay has so much to offer, with a fresh and vibrant coastal scene that goes far beyond its traditional seaside reputation. Artisan cafés, delis, restaurants, beach bars and independent shops now sit alongside its famous surf beaches, creating a lively and welcoming destination for food lovers, families and adventure seekers alike.
For classic North Cornwall days out, head further along the coast towards Padstow and the Camel Estuary, where harbour life, renowned restaurants, boat trips and calmer waters sheltered by Stepper Point offer a different pace of coastal charm.
No visit to this coastline is complete without grabbing a surfboard and diving into the waves. With a number of surf schools nearby, beginners and seasoned surfers alike can make the most of the Atlantic swell in every season.
From cosy winter stays spent watching the waves to balmy summer escapes filled with beach days and coastal walks, Whipsy is a beautiful place to check in, slow down and savour life by the sea.
