My sister-in-law found this hotel through Condé Nast or the like and wanted to go enough that we…read moredecided on Cornwall instead of Wales for our weekend in the UK with her. The hotel is old and classic, but modernized enough to be thoroughly comfortable. We got a room facing the pitch and putt out front, complete with double bed and built in bunks through a travel website for the last weekend in August. The room was large and well-appointed with comfortable beds and crisp linens. The sink taps were separate for hot and cold, and the shower either ran borderline-burning hot or cold. There was very little air flow in the room unless the window was open. The hotel was classically decorated. I loved the "library" on the 1st floor with its book wallpaper, LEGO model of the hotel, and modern dog lounger. There's a large double stair case, with seating at each level, much needed since the elevator isn't terribly fast. The lounge area, which we were told used to be the ballroom, had a seating area at each window to enjoy the views. There was a patio outside with a glass windbreak for the same purpose. There's a spa area downstairs, and there's a booklet full of treatments available. We didn't try to book any, but we did enjoy the pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and aromatherapy showers. While in the sauna, another guest informed us that they were booked for 48 hours solid anyway. Just having access to the aromatherapy showers was a lovely treat after a day of hiking in the coastal air. We ate our evening meals in the lounge area, not having seating at the Terrace (the casual restaurant), not having brought proper dress for the formal dining room, and enjoying the comfy chairs and couches. The full Terrace menu was available. The first night we quite enjoyed the mussels, rocket salad, fresh herbed mozzarella balls, the soup of the day, and the 5 Super Food salad (which changes daily, but always features 5 super foods, so you get the key nutrients in one sitting). Everything was tasty, especially that salad. The second evening, we split the vegetarian platter and the small version of the super food salad. We were quite full the second evening from enjoying cheese and crackers (which we bought at the Sainsbury's in town) while watching the sunset from one of the brick alcoves built into the seaside hill below the hotel. There about 2 dozen alcoves of brick or stone built along the side facing the beach or the coast, though only a couple had chairs. I would think they would've been quite crowded at a different point in the season, since they afforded such lovely views and provided just enough a windbreak. They're incredibly dog friendly and kid friendly. There were dogs and kids running around everywhere the whole weekend. Many folks brought their dogs and kids into the lounge area while they dined. Obviously, you go for the views, but the hotel was a lovely enough experience on its own to make it worth the trip.

Sorry - the hotel was great in many ways. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, the beds were…read morecomfortable and overall the service was pretty good. The views were great. However, the shower cannot keep one temperature - complaints among three rooms that my family members were in. That is ridiculous - its 2012 and we are in a developed country. At midnight the alarm on my clock went off. Again, the room maid should be checking that during every cleaning between guests to make sure that doesn't happen. I asked someone to come up in fix it. They sent someone up who hadn't touched one before and was new. After three or four minutes I asked him if he knew what he was doing and he said he didn't ......... I asked him to leave and just unplugged it. My cousin had her wedding here and it went perfectly. I would give it five stars on that.

Booked a…read moresingle room for a fairly decent rate - less than £60 a night - and was upgraded to a single room with a view which I imagine is probably not overly uncommon. The view was fantastic and the room, though small, was well-appointed. My bed was a bit too soft for my liking - in fact it felt a bit like a hammock - but overall it was a nice place. Free Wi-Fi was a bit slow, but serviceable and generally fast enough to watch netflix albeit pretty low res. Lots of coupons and stuff for spa service and the like - obviously a cash grab - but they're not pushy about it and the service was overally very good! Would definitely stay there again if I'm ever in Newquay for some reason...

This hotel is a fantastic place to stay if you are visiting Newquay…read more The hotel itself had only just had a brand new spa added to it when I stayed there end of last year, and the bar and restaurant looked as if it had been refubished. Very Trendy. The rooms needed some slight attention to the decor and were quite basic but the view over fistral beach was excellent. And really handy to location if your intrested in taking up surfing. The SPA, well was almost to die for - Fantastic and I think is what made this hotel and pleasure to stay in. Also an excellent range of gym equipment to use during your stay. FOOD- I stayed for breakfast which the food was above standard, was range to choose from as most hotels - hot buffet, cold buffet (cereals, fruit, toast, fry-up, croissant). Overall I rate this hotel 4/5 as I think it was a pleasure to stay in, due to Spa mainly & location. But for the price I paid was very competitive to that in the area for the time of year and would definately visit again when I am next due for a break away! Recommended.

We really lucked out booking our hotel in Newquay - we judged it based on the gorgeous photos of…read morethe sea and it was reasonably priced. We found the place through booking.com but found it was a bit cheaper to book directly with the hotel. It was a really long drive from London but eventually we got there around 1. We didn't plan it that way but really lucked out how close it was to the town centre while residing off a quiet street with excellent views of the sea. Even if you don't have a car, you can easily take the train and its just a few minutes from the station. Yes it does feel a bit outdated with the old fashioned keys but we found it charming. We booked a town view room but luckily it also had a seaview as well. It was nice to have an indoor pool - there is a sauna but you will need to book what time you want to go as they will need to turn the heat on. We didn't get a chance to go down to the beach but you can get the key to the stairs from hotel reception. We were quite happy to sit in the lounge area outside. Breakfast starts around 8 - feels quite late for me as I'm used to staying at business hotels that start as early as 6:30 however most people here are on holiday. They pre-assign your table so check with the host when you walk in. First morning I had the full english and 2nd morning I had the eggs royale. Both really good and it comes with a full spread of breakfast cereals, fruit and bread. The view from the restaurant is amazing as you get panoramic views of the sea. For our 2nd night in Newquay, we wanted to have dinner at the hotel as it looked busy the night before and they run a deal - 2 steaks with chips and a bottle of wine for 30 pounds. You have to book before 7. The steak comes out on a sizzling plate and it was really good value for money. We didn't get the bottle of wine but were able to substitute it for other drinks at the bar. We were very happy with our stay at this hotel - will definitely be back when we come back to Cornwall!

I travel frequently ... but i am not a fan of hotels. At most places i spend very little time…read moreindoors and so i never want to spend any more money on my accommodation than what is absolutely necessary. So i was somewhat disappointed when a friend of mine told me that he had booked the Trebarwith Hotel at Newquay for our trip to Cornwall ... £50 a night per person ??? ... i have never spent so much. But my antagonism faded away from the moment we reached there one spring Saturday morning. The hotel is located right on top of a cliff (~100 feet high according to my estimate) overlooking a beach. The view was stunning (see the photographs that i will be uploading). They have a private staircase that allows the residents of the hotel to walk quickly down to the beach during low-tide. The stairs however are locked during high-tide ... then what had been a beach only a few hours before becomes unrecognisable from the vast blue ocean. We had taken a car from London and were pleased to see the huge parking lot. Even this was not sufficient for that weekend. When we returned from a trip at night the parking lot was full ... however the security guard was very helpful and somehow found us a slot close to the entrance. Trebarwith had a lot of facilities indoors ... swimming pool and spa and the like. They surely weren't up-to resort standards but were very good value for money. The dining hall and bar occupied most of the ground floor and had great views of the sea. So whether you are having breakfast or a late night drink ... the beauty of the cornish coast is always there for you to savour. The deck chairs that were placed in the area beyond the parking space right next to the cliff edge must surely be a big hit in summer for this very reason. This hotel wins on all counts ... decent facilities, awesome price and a great location ... what more do i want ?
