Hallo Ferienstimmung!
Pros:

Schönes Hotel direkt am Surf-Paradies Fistal-Beach, mit freundlichem Personal und Spa-Bereich inklusive. Zimmer haben wir von "Economy" auf Meersicht upgegradet und es nicht bereut. Auch das Buchen des an sich nicht ganz billigen Parkplatzes lohnt, denn der öffentliche Parkplatz entlang der Strasse ist meist gut belegt. Alles sauber und gut.
Ein Spaziergang entfernt ist "Pentire Headland", ein fantastischer Aussichtspunkt auf die Weite des Meeres.

Lovely Location but
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel in April. The room was nice with sea views but the radiator didn't work.
We booked a 3 course meal in the restaurant with a glass of wine each. The music sounded Indian and would be more appropriate in that type of restaurant.
The bread was excellent. It was homemade sourdough and corniche scone with clotted cream butter.
I had a ham hock and chicken terrine and my wife Bream with ratatouille. These were both excellent.
By the main course we were getting cold. Curtains separated off various areas which meant staff were hidden. The staff were efficient but didn't make the evening special.
My wife's main course was duck breast which was excellent.
Unfortunately my meal was cod. They made a ring of a rather bland sauce, filled it with melted butter (butter noisette) and placed the cod in the middle. The veg was a stalk of cauliflower (cauliflower coral). Hardly a complete meal so we paid extra for new potatoes (small boiled old potatoes).
The sweet menu was limited so my wife and I both had tiramisu. This comprised of sponge fingers, coffee ice cream and thick cream.
It was too cold to finish out wine so we left it to go back to our cold room.
A visit to reception generated an oil filled radiator with the promise of our radiator being fixed the next day.
Later we visited the Espanade Hotel to listen to folk/ country singers. They were excellent but unfortunately the room was cold. It was then we discovered the two hotels are owned by the same group.
We stayed in the Espanade a few years ago and we then recalled the same experience with a cold room and similar restaurant experience.
Breakfast the next morning was excellent although we did have a cold reception from one of the waiters from the previous night. The music was lovely, varied popular music from the sixties onward.. The fresh fruit and yoghurt was lovely especially with the buck fizz Italian sparkling wine. I had egg royale and my wife egg avocado. Finished with cappuccino and chocolate croissants. I recommend you use the right hand coffee machine the lefthand one is awful.
Went in the spa around lunch time when it was relatively empty. It was very nice. A nice couple we met there found the restaurant food poor and had a cold room because their bedroom radiator also didn't work.
We had a smashing 3 course evening meal at the Lewenwick Hotel on the Pentire Headland.
That evening we had to ask again about the radiator because it still was not working.
Breakfast the next day was lovely although once again the staff could be more friendly in the restaurant.
The location for this hotels is fantastic especially if you have a sea view but expect problems with heating and only stay for bed and breakfast.
O, finally expect a 10% surcharge on your bill for the restaurant. In view of our experience we asked for it to be cancelled. An extra £13.20 on a £132 bill was just too much.
The receptionist said the heating was on a time clock.

An incredible, relaxing stay! Would highly recommend to anyone.
Pros:

I absolutely loved the views from our room, tub and shower - completely unmatched and worth it just for that! But also loved the bar & location! It’s just 20min walk into town and accessible to many pretty coastal walks. Rachel, my massage therapist, also was great.

Pros:

Good location spa facilities very good.

Cons:

Terrible breakfast and poor coffee and service.

Sea view rooms can be simply a small window. Doesn't feel special for the price. Parking squashed and tricky.7

Wonderful return stay
Pros:

We returned to Fistral for a two‑night stay, hoping to unwind from our busy work life in London and escape the heat back in Kent — and once again, it didn’t disappoint. Every member of staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive.

We booked full‑body massages and were looked after by Sophie and Amilie, who were both incredibly skilled. It was exactly what we needed to reset and relax.

The hotel team — restaurant, housekeeping, and spa — all made the stay feel effortless. The food was amazing, just as we remembered from our first visit.

Our package included a 10% discount on GAIA products, but this wasn’t acknowledged at reception when we asked about it during checkout, which was disappointing and the reason for giving one less star.

Better to find another hotel.
Pros:

Good view from the hotel on Fistral beach. And that’s all.
Not convenient and not logical that you need to book time for breakfast. No salmon ir meat or vegetables on the preakfast, not tasty cooked eggs.
Despite restaurant is working till 9pm, at 8:15 the kitchen is already closed.
Small SPA, not recommended.
Old equipment in gym and very noisy people in gym and pool.

Cons:

Only view on Fistral beach.

A great location but a terrible nights sleep.
Pros:

The location and staff were lovely with the bonus of a well supplied spa.

Cons:

The room was too hot, even with all windows open and a fan running. The pool water jets were not working.

Ok poor food portions
Pros:

Hotel in a nice location I had dinner the first time I stayed here. The menu is rather confusing the size of the portion, especially the pork which is no bigger than a Wrist watch dial was meant to be a main course it would find itself better on a taste of menu. The food at breakfast was a good . I wouldn't eat her again as there's a far better place along the beach called the Fish House which I can thoroughly recommend. I have used the spa and the swimming pool downstairs and the sauna unfortunately this is full of local people if you come away as a cozy couple or alone businessman you feel quite isolated and not inclusive. Rooms that I have stayed in quite basic the last one I had overlooked a rear yard, which was extremely hot slept with the window open all night and as there's no AC and it was very noisy.

I would recommend staying here for friendly service, and a quiet place to relax.
Pros:

Great location, loved waking up to see the ocean right out of our window.

Cons:

Not close to shops and restaurants but was perfect if you just want to unwind.

Disappointing
Pros:

Friendly staff, good service
Good breakfast
Good range of toiletries

Cons:

Extremely overpriced for a tiny, basic box room, cheaply decorated, no different to a Premier Inn room but three times the price. Plus surprise £50 deposit on check in put me in my overdraft. Booked because photos appear to show a terrace areas with sofas and wanted a place to chill for the day, infact just a couple of chairs at the edge of the car park, ended up on the public beach anyway so could have stayed anywhere. I imagine only worth it if you get one of the few sea facing rooms with a balcony, top floor only, otherwise stay literally anywhere else in Newquay for half the price. Extended my trip last minute due to having a great time, stayed in two other amazing hotels, but really regretted this waste of money and it spoiled my trip. Would be fine if it was WAY cheaper, although still a 25 min walk into town for food.

I want to thank the manager for doing what they could, their service was great, it’s just a shame this hotel is so well marketed online and it’s misleading. See pic of view from The new room I was moved to.
