  This place was absolutely perfect for what we needed as a group of 9 on a stag.

There’s long stay parking a road back and a few spots at the actual lodge. It’s a short walk from the town and the beach’s. They were also massively helpful when we realised we screwed up our booking and managed to move some bits around and save us some money.

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.
