Fistral Beach in Newquay
If you're looking for a cool little cottage for a weekend with the girls, the Headland Hotel cottages make the ideal seaside getaway. The cottages have the most stunning views and the most peaceful setting, and yet you're only a ten-minute walk from the bars and clubs of Newquay.
The cottages are part of the main hotel, so you've got all the home comforts of having your own place, with the added luxury of maid service and hotel facilities at your disposal too – including restaurants, the bar, a lovely heated pool, tennis courts and spa treatments. The perfect Company Combo! Fistral beach is a-mazing, with acres of soft white sand and the most sunbathing space a girl could ever ask for. And as for the surfers… this really is the place to be.
Make sure you book yourself a lesson with our favourite surfer boy, Ben, at Surfing Is Therapy . Honestly, you might not fancy it now, but once you've given it a go, you won't want to get out of the sea!
