Stay was lovely but hotel could do with upgrading!
Pros:

Location is great! Staff were nice.

Cons:

Old decor, needs renovating! The smell from the carpets, is something we picked up as soon as we walked in. The smell was the same in the rooms and bedding clearly hadn’t been dried as it smelt of damp. Also the breakfast, wasn’t great! A young family bought their own Nutella as the hotel didn’t have any! No proper coffee or selection of coffees and cooked breakfast wasn’t great either. The hotel/B&B wasn’t cheap, booking.com tells me ‘we’re in luck’ when booking it as it’s never available, so we expected more, or a better!

Wir würden Newquay als Reiseziel weiterempfehlen, dieses Hotel jedoch nicht noch einmal buchen.
Pros:

Gesamtes Personal sehr freundlich,
Frühstücksbuffet war OK
Lage sehr gut

Cons:

Das Hotel war leider nicht besonders sauber. Wir mussten mehrfach darum bitten, dass unser Zimmer gereinigt wird, und selbst dann wurde nur das gemacht, worauf wir ausdrücklich hingewiesen haben. Zudem kam nicht täglich jemand zur Reinigung. Obwohl wir um frische Handtücher gebeten hatten, wurden diese nicht ausgetauscht, da sie nicht auf dem Boden lagen. Insgesamt waren wir mit der Sauberkeit und dem Service daher nicht zufrieden.

Pros:

Room was on the small side. Location was brilliant. Breakfast was ok. We realise that it was peak season, so was more expensive, but the images online implied a more modern hotel.

Cons:

Room was clean but a little tired.

A lovely, clean and cosy B&B in a great setting, with a friendly atmosphere and everything you need for a comfortabl
Pros:

The B&B was fabulous: clean, cosy, welcoming and in a lovely setting. The property was spotless and comfortable, and we really enjoyed our stay. The friendly atmosphere and overall feel of the place were lovely.

Cons:

Our only slight negative was that we found some of the house rules and the way they were communicated a little strict. On arrival, we needed to bring a buggy to our room. As our child is autistic, the buggy is an important safe space, so we explained this and were allowed to bring it up, although it did feel a little uncomfortable having to justify it.

Later, after being out at the fete, we brought some drinks back to enjoy in our room and were asked to drink some before coming inside in case of spills. We completely understand wanting to protect the property, but on this occasion we felt a little over-managed, which was slightly awkward as adults in our 40s.

Fantastic property with amazing sea views
Pros:

We had a balcony room which had a fantastic sea view. The property was spotlessly clean and the breakfast had varied choices. Margaret and all her staff made sure every guest felt welcome and had everything they needed. I really can’t recommend enough.

Cons:

There’s nothing we didn’t like.
