"Lovely country inn - The owners and staff very nice and accomodating. Room was clean just a little dated, and the general areas could do with a refresh. Bed was really comfortable which enabled a great sleep. Breakfast was excellent- freshly cooked, so much choice and more if required-appreciated a second pot of tea to take outside and sit on the outdoor sofa. Evening meals were lovely - just make sure you let them know as they may close the dining room early. The bowling was great fun when the rain arrived!! A 2 minute walk down a reasonable hill to the bus stop at Alexander Court if going to airport/Newquay town and another minute to the beach. A great little getaway - I would definitely return."

"Overall lovely hotel with beautiful decor and facilities. Everywhere was very clean. The overflow car park still undergoing building works and £27 a day for parking is very overpriced. No toilet roll in our room. Very slow service at breakfast and ran out of milk at and could only offer oat milk. Seemed to be more waiting staff just stood around rather than serving"

"Booked a standard double a couple of months before our stay. Couldn't book a parking space in advance as all taken. Only a small car park at the front. We used JustPark spaces on Asda carpark nearby & had no issues. Had a lovely room with alot of space for luggage to be left out. Room also included a wardrobe, 2 large mirrors (1 full length), plenty of drawers in desk, chair, tea/coffee/hot chocolate/milk sachets etc, kettle, lamp, TV, portable fan, opening window, extra pillows if needed, comfy bed, clean bedding & towels which are changed regularly, decent bathroom, toiletries, shower mat, towel rail, hooks, shower shelves. Some marks on the carpet & creaky floor in some spots. Our room was on the side & we could still see & hear the sea which was a plus. Some peeling paint & a loose drainpipe outside our window, but facing the sea & weather it's to be expected. No noise from the bar area or outside. We didn't include the breakfast in our booking & didn't eat at the restaurant but it was always busy. Good drinks selection & amazing outside terrace overlooking Great Western Beach with amazing views all around. Friendly staff & housekeeping team were very good and efficient. Can store your luggage in reception if you arrive early. Reception has info & pics about the history of the hotel, a phone charging station & plenty of leaflets regarding things to do in the area. Nice location only a short walk to main streets & convenience stores nearby. Would definitely stay again."
