Hotels near Pentire Headland, Newquay

The Atlantic Hotel is in a great location close to the town and beaches which was perfect for what we were looking for. We did read the reviews before booking which were mostly positive and as we could get 4 nights for a great price, we booked it. The hotel as other reviews is very tired and needs a spruce up, but the rooms are very big and have everything you need. The parking is good if a bit tight near reception, is a bigger car park a short walk away, and you can also park around all sides of the hotel. The hotel telephoned shortly before our stay, telling us that the lift would not be working during our stay (from other reviews and at the time of booking - it appears to have been out of action for 5 months) we asked for a low room if possible on arrival. We were given room 210, which was a very large room facing Fistral Beach. As my wife had recently had a knee replacement, we asked for a move to a lower floor and the reception staff were helpful and accommodation, finding us a first floor room the day after. We were moved to 138 which again was a very large room and had great views out to Watergate Bay. I have to say we really enjoyed our stay the staff are friendly and helpful. On a downside the hotel is dark in places even when the sun was shining and would benefit of more lighting. It would also be helpful to advertise breakfasts, evening meal or other facilities e.g. the pool as wasn't any information in the room or easily visible in the hotel. From googling we did find the breakfast prices to be more expensive than locally so decided to venture out.

The hotel is ok, old but trying to keep up, it’s at a very good location, many shops and restaurants around. Everything is just walking distance both Towan Beach and Great Western Beach. If you need a public laundry there is also one very close about 4 minutes. In my opinion I think the management should really try to upgrade their facilities because it’s really old, nevertheless it was a great stay.

First time staying at this Travelodge and will definitely stay here again. Room was spacious and very clean. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, I can't name anyone as I couldn't see any name badges. Even though our room faced onto the road the traffic noise was minimal during the night so didn't bother us even with the window open. Excellent base for exploring Cornwall as it is 2 minute walk to the railway station and nearest bus stop.

We have recently returned from a week long stay here and were very impressed overall. We had a large well equipped bedroom with a sea view, which was clean and comfortable. The bathroom had a good shower with plenty of hot water and THE best smelling toiletries! House keeping came every day to clean and refresh the tea/coffee etc. The inclusive breakfast was excellent and cooked to order each day. The bar /restaurant is open to the general public and is often busy. This can lead to long wait times for food in the evening. The lunch/main menu is a little limited in scope but everything we tried was well cooked and presented. We found the staff to all be friendly and helpful. If you are staying for even just a few days then booking parking is advisable (as parking in Newquay is generally not easy) but do so at the time you book because spaces are limited. Overall we had a wonderful time at The Great Western and look forward to visiting again next summer.

We stayed in a holiday home just down road from here there was 6 off us and ever time we went in it was no trouble and they were very friendly and the food was amazing and very large portions as well and there was and old Wurlitzer in corner with log fire it was just amazing
