Shore Surf Lodge

  We booked the Shore Surf Lodge as a last minute thing when we couldn’t extend our stay at another B&B. I was travelling with my husband, 3 year old... read more and my best friend. Having read the reviews I was ready for something more like a hostel but could see it had been refurbished and was family friendly. This is certainly true but compared to my b&b that cost roughly the same, I don’t think you’re getting good value for money here. We had the penthouse which has a stunning view and had clearly been done up recently. When you walk in you have a double bed- about 6 ft high. Go up some stairs to the main room and you have another double bed that’s about 3.5ft high and a kitchen area- with a hot tub and shower in it. There is a small separate toilet but that is the only place for any privacy. This is not a great room for sharing if you’re not exactly familiar with your roomie! It’s all been done to a high finish and looks lovely but just doesn’t feel right and needs a seating area of something instead of a great big kitchen area. Breakfast was a help yourself to toast or cereal. I expected more for the price. It was mostly clean but needs finishing off. The only member of staff we spoke to was friendly and helpful. This place was fine... We booked the Shore Surf Lodge as a last minute thing when we couldn’t extend our stay at another B&B.

This place was fine for a night but in truth I probably wouldn’t stay there again. More

  So this is all about expectation. I booked a family room, and got a family room. It's not the Hilton but we did find it reasonably clean and the bathroom... read more is clearly new, bed linen was fresh and clean, so that's the important stuff sorted....More

  The lodge is situated at the top of Newquay Town, 5mins walk into town and about 15mins walk to fistral beach. Unfortunately the room was dirty and filthy bathroom, funny... read more smell in the building and rooms are freezing cold with stained bedding.

  The hostel is nicely done up with a nice bar area and a good breakfast. Plenty of space for self-catering. Everywhere in the hostel... read more is very clean and the owners do all they can to ensure you have a pleasant stay.

  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!

  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.
