Eating Out: There are plenty of places to choose from. My favourites are Lewinnick Lodge, on Pentire Headland, Fistral Blu, in the brand new Surfing Centre on Fistral Beach, If you fancy treating yourselves to a meal, the Headland Hotel is only on the other side of Fistral Beach. Here's what the Headland Hotel say about themselves:

"Dine at sunset as the golden glow illuminates the spectacular panoramic views over Fistral Bay. The evening menu is delicious and the surroundings elegant and genteel."

Of course, no-one can visit Cornwall without indulging in a delicious oven-fresh warm Cornish Pasty! Mmmm! I can smell them now. We buy ours from the little off-licence at the beginning of Pentire Avenue. In my opinion, they are best eaten outside in the fresh air, after you have worked up an appetite on one of the many nearby coastal walks. (Keep it under your hat, but the best place to take a break is at the tip of Pentire Headland.)

Walking to Newquay Town Centre: You can walk to Newquay town centre along the footpath between Fistral Beach and Newquay Golf Course in roughly fifteen minutes. This means that Arjuna Cottage is close enough to Newquay for those who enjoy the nightlife and music, and far enough away for those who want to ignore it!
Outdoor Activities: The cottage is available all year round and is ideal for those interested in almost any outdoor activities, including surfing, breathtaking coastal walks and challenging rounds of golf. Just behind Fistral Beach is the golf course of Newquay Golf Club. The exposed position of the course and the inclusion of some very challenging greenside bunkers make this a perfect course on which to improve your accuracy!
