When it comes to dramatic scenery, few parts of the UK can rival Cornwall and you'll find yourself agreeing with this if you stay in this apartment with an uninterrupted view of Newquay Beach and the county's northern coastline. As it's on the ground floor of the building, it means that, out through the living room's glass doors, there's a terrace on which you can sit and admire this sweeping vista.
