Pros:

The location and the staff behaviour

Cons:

The hotel was pretty basic. It lacked a phone to talk to the reception, the booking.com says free wifi but its not in the room but in the common area and that too wobbly.
It did not have shampoo, conditioner and a basic hand wash as well

Great in the day not very evening relaxing
Pros:

Location, staff, pool and housekeeping all fantasic.
Clean and bathroom very good with Powerful shower and huge bath. The garden is big and when they have finished renovations the games room will be great

Cons:

Car park is horrendous if one person doesn't park straight then it messes up the spaces either side as it's very tight spaces and diagonal.
The rooms are extremely warm as the central is on full temp all night which in April is extreme.
It's a noisy hotel so not great if your a light sleeper

RESTAURANT A LET DOWN
Pros:

The hotel was full which should say how popular it was . We had a lovely quiet room the only downside is the shower over bath ,it is not good when you cannot climb into a bath so 1 out of 10 for that . The hotel is clean ,the rooms clean , bingo and entertainment ,near a local bus stop , close to a pleasant walk into town .However what ruined it was the food delivery , the restaurant was full and lack of enough staff lead to most meals being cold or luke warm on arrival at table . It should be kitchen to table no leaving meals on side checking order first . For that reason I doubt that I shall return .

4 night coach trip stay at Barrowfield hotel well worth a try
Pros:

We were part of an independent coach trip ( not daishes ) ( around 32 of us ) .We were given a very warm welcome and the whole stay was pleasant . Nice clean room ,comfy beds , everything worked that was suppose to work . Had a small blip with the wash basin being blocked which we mentioned to reception on our way to breakfast. By the time we'd eaten and gone back it was sorted , very efficient . Husband is gluten free and couldn't fault the service and attention he had . There was enough choice on the menu ,and didn't hear anyone complaining . Waiters were very good , our main waiter was Arnau who was Spanish and nothing was too much trouble . Our group said they enjoyed bingo and entertainment each evening . Mothers day all the ladies were given a flower , a chocolate and a free drink . Bar prices and snacks , hot drinks etc very reasonable .All the staff were helpful and pleasant . Would definitely stay again

Lovely stay March 2026
Pros:

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay this week. I stayed for an overall 4 nights and found my room to be nice and clean. The location is great and right by Tolcarne Beach! The staff were incredible- I’d like to thank Kirsty the receptionist she was ever so helpful and provided me with lots of information about what Barrowfield has to offer! Tegan who works in the restaurant was amazing too, very friendly and she was quick to serve us. I’d recommend this hotel to those who want a nice getaway to enjoy Newquay as it’s personally one of my favourite places to visit.

Happy stay in March
Pros:

My husband and I have just spent 4 nights and are very satisfied with our stay; very clean, excellent value, good food, cheerful staff, evening entertainment, small swimming pool and perfect location so close to sea and town centre. Cathy the deputy manager was very helpful, as well as Kirsty the receptionist. And Kegan is a very efficient cheerful waitress.
And on Mother's day, the ladies were all treated to a glass of Baileys, a chocolate heart and a rose! Such a nice touch!

4 night family break
Pros:

We've just came back from a 5 day holiday with dashies at the barrowfield Hotel. We had the most lovely time. Jane the manageress is fantastic can't do enough for the guests and her staff and she works so hard . Teegan our waitress was so helpful and helped me make my mother in laws 74th birthday extra special. Helena was our house keeper and even when she didn't need to come in the room she left us with drink supplies Jack and the bar staff was great and all staff was approachable and a credit to Jane and dashies. The meals was excellent always hot and a good choice. Hotel was clean and plenty of seating options. Room 3 was our room and it was lovely I will be returning next time by myself for a bit of me time.
Value for money can't beat it. Beach is stunning and shops for what you need .
Thank you all .

Had the most great time going on my own for the first time and meeting someone wonderfully kind people.
Pros:

I went as a solo traveler never done it before never been on the coach treat before but I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed myself was a bit apprehensive at first of going on my own but everybody was so kind to me especially when they found out that I got travel sit trying to help me and things the staff in the hotel were also brilliant and I can't complain about the food either which is unusual for me because I generally got something to complain about. Unfortunately I can complain about the weather but that isn't our faults that's left into the hands of the gods. I booked the trip away as a present for myself as it was my birthday. I would definitely recommend going, if people can travel on a coach without feeling ill like I did but that was sorted on the way back as I got some tablets for that. Definitely enough of variety of food on the menu for breakfast and dinner, swimming pool also, though I didn't take advantage of it I was going to but I felt a bit silly going in on my own. The only thing I can say, was I do think it means well my bedroom did anyway and upgrade of furniture.
