I booked two rooms. Mine was OK. The decor was tired and the shower comprised rubber tube fitted over taps. There were bags of laundry everywhere - including a huge pile in the residents' lounge. You couldn't sit there. I agree with the comments on parking - get there early or be prepared to struggle to find a space.
Breakfast was OK but the guests I stayed with had such an awful room - with dreadful smell from the bathroom - that they both felt nauseous and unable to face breakfast. We paid full price for the rooms and breakfast and this proved to be a very expensive night in a run-down hotel. Complaints were not dealt with sympathetically. My fellow travellers will be writing their own review.

A bit worried after reading other reviews, pleasently surprised, room on ground floor small but very clean,breakfast was great ,piping hot !!! Staff were lovely Car park fine if you get in before other guests ,abit tight when full .Good value hotel for short break

Quiet location only five minutes from lovely beach. Clean comfortable rooms and good breakfast. Staff friendly & helpfull.
The Eden Project & Lost Gardens of Helligan a half hour drive away. Newquay a 20-minute walk along the cliff path.
Some lovely beaches in the area. Would definitely visit this hotel again.

Although I was not as lucky as a previous reviewer in getting the (they only have one single) room for £19, I still thought it a good deal at just under £30. The room is not a broom cupboard as in some other hotels, and is fairly spacious and nicely furnished, with a tiny but good en-suite. Of course, as expected, it overlooks the kitchen area, not the sea!
I found the hotel clean and comfortable, in a superb location with views from the large front patio area over the cliff tops and the beautiful beach of Porth.
The beach is gorgeous, a narrow (300m wide) cove between high headlands, which extends right out past the cliffs at low tide, nearly half a mile I estimate. The fabulous sands are safe for bathing, except at the right hand side where a river has carved a channel on its way to the sea. It is easily accessed, in about 5 mins, from the hotel by a series of steps right beside the entrance which take you under the road and down a steep lane to the beach, or by walking down the hill to the Mermaid Inn which stands right on the beach itself. A great place to watch the sun go down, serving excellent food til 10pm at night.
There is also a bus stop right outside the hotel, with frequent buses into Newquay a couple of miles away.
Altogether a very good hotel, in a great spot. Breakfasts are good, the bar is cheap. I got so relaxed there that I almost couldn't be bothered to go out and sightsee. Only iffy thing I could say is that they appear to have fewer spaces in their car park than they have rooms, sometimes causing a few problems.
