The best accommodations Newquay

Facing the Atlantic and just a minute's walk from Fistral Beach, this attractive hotel offers good value for money in touristy Newquay. The rooms are classics of excellent hotel design, modernly furnished with care and comfort in mind. Each has its own bathroom, and some also boast superb views out to sea. Restaurant, spa, sauna and children's pool are also available, as are discounts at the on-site Quiksilver Surf School.

Visible throughout the town and highly regarded, the Headland Hotel is a Newquay landmark. Open since 1900, the majestic, classy building stands on the coast, facing the sea and just a 10-minute walk from the center. There are around a hundred rooms of various sizes and suites, some with views, as well as cottages. There's also an on-site swimming pool, a fitness room, a top-of-the-range spa, a restaurant-bar serving ultra-fresh fish and seafood, and much more. Everything to please!

The Atlantic boasts the most beautiful location in Newquay, close to the town center but perched on the cliffs, facing the open sea and the magnificent Cornish coast. The hotel has everything you could dream of for a perfect seaside holiday: breathtaking panoramas, top-class comfort, meticulous, helpful staff, impeccable cleanliness and the extras that make all the difference: a spa with sauna and massage services, as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Ideal for relaxing.

You'd better be ready to party at this hostel, popular with young people and surfers in particular. While the lack of a kitchen may be a nuisance for some, the location above Belushi's bar (part of the same establishment) and the substantial discounts that go with it are a plus for anyone coming to Newquay to have fun and meet people. It also doubles as a common room, and its balcony overlooking the beach is a marvel in fine weather. The rooms and dormitories are basic but comfortable.

If you are looking for the true spirit of surfing, choose from this very relaxed and particularly warm establishment. The equipment is recent and very clean. Regularly organized barbecue evenings.

A family bed and breakfast. Craig, the owner is a former surf champion and knows beaches like his pocket. Breakfast served in bed (£ 4). Animals allowed.

Set in a Georgian building, this charming hotel is located on the cliffside, facing Newquay beach. The communal areas are a little run-down, but the rooms are spacious and simple, with comfortable, high-quality bedding. A welcome tray with coffee, tea and cookies awaits you on arrival. This family-run hotel is ideal for a short stay, but we advise you to request a room on the top floor, facing the sea, to avoid noise and enjoy the peace and quiet. The hotel restaurant is very good.
