“Home from Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011
5
people found this review helpful

This family run hotel is second to none in the South West, expertly run by husband and wife team Lisa and Andy who ensure your every need is catered for and the enjoyment of your stay is, where possible, guarenteed. The welcoming cup of tea is a boon, especially if you have driven for several hours to reach this ideally placed hotel. The family atmosphere continues into the dining area where fantastic cuisine expertly prepared by the resident chef, Robert, assisted during our stay by George, and with Lisa controlling the action, expertly served by Millie. The family touch extended to a Birthday Card, for my wife Jenny on her Special Day, placed on the breakfast table from Lisa, Andy and all the Whipsiderry staff. The bedrooms are thoroughly cleaned daily by expertly selected cleaning staff and the whole hotel is maintained in a spotless condition. If you want an enjoyable holiday to remember with excellent hosts, a welcoming family atmosphere, good food and plenty of it, clean accomodation and as much assistance as you may require, the Whipsiderry Hotel is the place for you to stay. As for Christmas, we are returning for our fifth visit this year; that in itself must speak volumes of the exceptional quality and friendliness of all the Whipsiderry staff together with mine hosts, Lisa and Andy; always ready to assist and entertain.

Room Tip: Very popular, book early

“Best in the south west”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

people found this review helpful

Great welcome, friendly and most accommodating staff (nothing too much bother). Rooms are compact but beautifully furnished and co ordinated. Food is definately the best in the south west. Lisa's and Andy's personal touches are evident in every aspect of the hotel.

Well worth the drive of 560 miles

“First-Class all round!Highly recommended!brilliant stay!Very happy!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

This place is a real gem! I took my 10 year-old son away for a break just the two of us he loved it and has fallen in love with Porth and Newquay as a dad thats really important to me and the hotel went a long way to contributing to "the best holiday he's ever had"
I cannot praise Andy & Lisa and their wonderful staff enough, the couple themselves are very friendly, down-to-earth and their staff seem to have been immaculately trained(i speak with some authority on this as a qualified trainer & assessor,so its something I noticed straight away)The place itself gives off a happy vibe staff/guests everyone around the place is very warm and contented it seems!
Our room was lovely very clean and plenty of sapce and a modern flat screen tv with freeview channels - all vital when you have a 10-yr old staying with you!
Wi-fi available too (also a must these days!)
The bar is very nice with a view you cannot describe(so good is it!)
Plenty of chill-out space longes tables and seating outside nice pool and loads of loungers the pool area itself is a veritable little sun-trap with white walls, all very clean.
Magnificent rolling lawn area/gardens, laundry room and space to hang your washing out or a tumble dryer if required and a pool/snooker room.
Possibly the best part of the stay was the breakfast and 6-course dinners all cooked to excellent standard by a friendly chef! I will go as far to say some of the courses were among the best dishes ive ever tasted and ive eaten in some of londons finest hotels and restaurants, all waiters(1) and waitresses(2) we experienced, were superb - well turned out, attentive and friendly with a first-class demeanour that belies their youthful apearance! they were always on hand to see if you needed anything!and I think could teach older,more experienced waiting staff up here in London a thing or two!
All in all I cannot quibble about anything and would like to thank Andy/Lisa and all the staff for a memorable stay, the nicest touch was both owners came out and said goodbye personally when we left and helped us tyo the taxi with our luggage!
Just brilliant! all round and I think Lisa has done her parents(the previous owners)very proud indeed!
A FAULTLESS STAY!
WITHOUT HESITATION I RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL WHOLE-HEARTEDLY!

“The Warmest Welcome at Whipsiderry!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011

person found this review helpful

My family have just returned to London after spending 5 nights at the Whipsiderry Hotel. The location was great within walking distance to a lovely beach and not far from Newquay town centre. We were very warmly welcomed and Lisa and Andy, the Hotel owners were very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The outdoor heated pool was warm enough for a swim and the hotel gardens were very pleassant. Breakfast and evening dinner were excellent. Well done to the Chef! George at the Hotel was also very helpful with tips for local places to eat at. The bedrooms were very compact and the shower could have been a bit more powerful, but overall I would highly recommend this cosy and friendly hotel.
Thanks from Sharon, Mark and Shamar

“Welcome return to Whipsiderry”

After our visit in July 2010, I said on my review that I couldn't wait to return to the Whipsiderry Hotel. Luckily I didn't have to wait long and stayed for 4 nights in May 2011. Everything that I said previously still applies and I can't rate the overall experience highly enough. Excellent food, location and comfort with an exceptional welcome!
