Great hotel for families in Newquay

Hotel is in a great location, the staff at check in were extremely helpful and the facilities are great for families. Lots to do to keep the little ones entertained including the pool, cinema and play areas. Kids were so excited to have their own drinks tray in the room and bathrobes for the pool. Only one grumble, the breakfast was a fixed price, so not great value if your kids are fussy. Will most certainly be looking to book another trip here with the family.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
This hotel though in a great location in front of the beach but there is no space around as it’s on a main busy street. Parking is a nightmare and got a ticket so please beware.Moreover the staff was bit snobby and didn’t inform that parking spots can be purchased as there were many spots with a pole in the middle and we were uninformed that those were the purchasable spots. And the hotel will not tell you about the parking restrictions really unhelpful.
