Shore Lodge

  I had booked a room with a different establishment only to find, after a harrowing and miserable day of travel and troubles, that my reservation had disappeared and they had... read more no rooms. I was directed by the owner to try the Surf Lodge and, to my intense relief, they had vacancies.

I was not expecting much, I was having such a horrible day I expected everything to keep going wrong, but with immense pleasure I was proven incorrect.

The interior when I first entered the establishment was welcoming and friendly. The man who received me, a friend of the owners, was cheerful and helpful. My room was cozy and my bed thankfully extremely comfortable.

I left my bags and went down into town, rejoicing in how close it was and that I could walk there with ease, and I had a lovely meal which really improved my mood. And then I returned and met my hosts.

Lovlier, more accommodating people I have never found. They were awesome. I spent a grand evening at the onsite bar talking and laughing with my hosts, and discovered before I retired for the night that a continental breakfast would be provided.

It was an amazing three days, and these people were a massive part of it. I could not recommend them more. Thank you Steph and Simon for turning my week around.

  My boyfriend and I stayed here last week for our holiday and we absolutely loved it! It has a very chilled out and welcoming vibe which made us feel relaxed... read more and almost at home. To start with the staff were amazing, always friendly! The food at the restaurant was amazing, to say how busy they were the service was great. Our room was a double room with the en-suite (room 3), it was clean and tidy upon arrival, very cosy and there was lots of storage space for the two of us. There was a kettle and mugs in the room with sugar, milk etc and a communal fridge just outside the door which was helpful. The location was great as it was only a 10 minute walk from town and fistral beach so we didn’t have to worry about parking all the time.
I would recommend this place to younger couples or friends looking for somewhere for shorter stays, it’s very professional yet very casual which we loved as everyone was much more approachable! Would definitely stay here again 🙂 More

  Lovely hotel with a warm welcoming atmosphere! Had everything we needed and more. The beds were really comfortable and the staff were helpful and friendly. Perfect location close to the... read more beach and all at an unbeatable price. Will definitely be returning. Thankyou!

  Me and my girlfriend booked this via hotels.com and were quite disappointed with our stay.

We were greeted in quite a dismissive way, the owner only seemed interested in... read more pushing the food and drink sold by the hotel rather than welcoming us.

When we were told about our room we were informed it had a shared bathroom, the hotels.com description does not make it clear that the room we booked didn't have an ensuite (which you would expect for the approx £70/night we paid).

The room itself was clean and the bed was comfy, but it didn't look anything like the room pictured on the hotels.com site (it was much smaller).

The walls are very thin and we heard (very clearly) people throwing up after a night out in the room next to us, on multiple nights.

Something else that concerned us was a 3rd party contractor asking for access to our room while we were relaxing in there during the door, he proceeded to come in and do some work on the door lock while we awkwardly waited for him to leave.

We felt quite awkward entering and leaving the hotel via the main room/restaurant downstairs as the staff seemed to sit in there and stare at you, and we almost felt judged for not wanting food/drink there.

Overall we wouldn't come back here, I think if you were a group of surfers who just wanted a place to stay this would be OK. If you're a couple looking to spend a few days in Newquay I'd pick somewhere else.
