This charming fisherman's cottage puts you right in the heart of the action – vibrant restaurants, unique shops, and stunning beaches are all just steps away. Leave the car behind and explore this trendy Atlantic resort town on foot. Inside, enjoy a cozy, clean retreat designed for comfort, whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with your dog. We're passionate about sustainability, from our energy-efficient air-source heating and refillable amenities to our commitment to recycling and locally sourced art and furniture.

Gull Cottage is a small space with a big heart, dedicated to both your comfort and the environment.
Note: There is no parking on this little street, but I can send you parking info.
Just a quick heads-up: VRBO has a little system glitch where discounts sometimes vanish if you make an inquiry instead of an instant booking. Rest assured, I will absolutely honor any discounts for your stay! Drop me a line if you're unsure or want to double-check the price.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Conabeare
Hello, I'm Karen!
My story is split between two beautiful coastal places. I grew up right here in Newquay, but 21 years ago, I met a wonderful Canadian, fell in love, and now live in Ontario, Canada. Because of this, Newquay holds a massive piece of my heart, and this cottage is very much my home away from home.
When I am not staying at the cottage myself, I love nothing more than being out in nature, whether that’s hitting the water for a refreshing swim or exploring the great outdoors.
Why I Love Being a Host Hosting allows me to share the magic of Cornwall with travelers from all over the world. One of my absolute favorite things about owning this property is continually finding ways to improve its environmental sustainability. Creating a greener, more eco-conscious space is a true passion project of mine, and I am always working to ensure the cottage leaves a gentle footprint on the local environment.
What to Expect During Your Stay While I manage the details from across the pond, you are in incredibly safe hands. I have a handpicked, dedicated local Newquay team on the ground who pride themselves on preparing a spotlessly clean property for your arrival. They are just a quick message away and always happy to help with any queries during your stay, ensuring you have a seamless and relaxing holiday.
We can't wait to welcome you to the cottage!
Why they chose this property
The Best of Both Worlds: A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Town
Having grown up in Newquay, I always knew this specific corner of town was incredibly special. The cottage is nestled on what is widely considered the oldest street in town. It is a beautiful, historic little pocket that feels like a well-kept local secret, tucked away from the main hustle and bustle.
What I love most about this neighborhood is the sheer contrast. On one hand, you are technically right in the heart of Newquay—meaning independent cafes, local boutique shops, and incredible coastal views are just a short, easy stroll away. On the other hand, the moment you step onto our street, the noise fades, and you are surrounded by historic charm and a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. It truly is a hidden gem where you can experience Newquay exactly like a local.
What makes this property unique
Historic Charm Meets Eco-Conscious Comfort
In a popular coastal town like Newquay, it can be hard to find a place that offers both character and convenience. The cottage stands out because it delivers the perfect balance of three rare features:
Authentic Coastal History: Located on the town’s oldest street, the cottage offers a unique, authentic slice of Newquay’s heritage that instantly makes you feel at home.
A Commitment to Sustainability: This isn't just a rental property to us; it's a passion project. We actively work to reduce the cottage's footprint with eco-friendly upgrades and sustainable touches, making it a perfect retreat for the environmentally conscious traveler.
A Hidden Oasis: While the bustling harbor, beaches, and independent shops are just a short walk away, the cottage provides a peaceful, quiet escape from the crowds. The moment you step through the front door, the busy town fades away into total tranquility.
