This hotel is located in centre of Newquay close to all amenities. It has ample room for a self catering breakfast. Our host was excellent. This was a last minute booking as our flight to Newquay was aborted and diverted to Manchester. The hotel in Wadebridge couldn't facilitate us with a check in time beyond 11pm. Luckily I found this hotel who stated that 24 hour security was in place. When they realised that I was stuck on a coach with no eta she rang me and gave me the pin number for entry and advised my floor and room number and where the key was located. I'm blown away by their kind caring and efficient manner. The hotel is a bit dated but is exceptionally clean new shower fittings etc and CCTV monitored. Highly recommend this hotel.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
