Wonderful stay with a perfect view ❤️
Pros:

The Guesthouse was very clean. Margaret & the wonderful helpful Natalia were very accommodating. We had room 15 which had the most perfect sea view. We booked our getaway for our 25th wedding anniversary and it was all from start to finish just perfect. Lots of variety offered for breakfast. And a fabulous location too. Would highly recommend. Thank you to OYO Minerva Guesthouse & all the team 😊x

Cons:

There was nothing we didn't like.

10000% recommend
Pros:

Absolutely everything. Our 4th stay, and will continue to stay here. We had to leave before breakfast and they were so accommodating, told us we could go down early for tea and toast so that we didn't have empty tummies. We didn't, as we slept in until we had to leave but it's just so refreshing to know they really wanna go the extra mile to make you happy! I leave a review every time because each time they give me something else that I just need to share with everyone else. 1000000% recommend. We will be back for our 5th stay soon ☺️

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

Wir wurden früh morgens sehr freundlich und einladend begrüßt und durften sofort frühstücken und unser Gepäck deponieren.
Die Lage ist super und die Damen des Hauses sind sehr herzlich.
Das Zimmer war klein aber fein und sehr sauber.

Nettes Haus am Stadtrand
Pros:

Am Rand des lebhaften Newquay gelegen, bietet dieses kleine Guesthouse alles was man für einen entspannten Aufenthalt am englischen Atlantik benötigt. Die Zimmer sind schmuck, sauber und gemütlich. Das Frühstück wird serviert und wer mag, kann auch full english bestellen. Der Check-in und das Check-out sind extrem unkompliziert, so dass man mit dem Personal kaum in Kontakt kommt.

Cons:

Die Parkplatzsituation in Newquay ist in den Sommermonaten katastrophal, wobei das Hotel hierfür nicht zu verantworten ist.
