Accommodation in Newquay

Accommodation in Newquay
A List of hotels, guest houses, self catering, holiday parks, camping and caravans. A wide range of accommodation in Newquay to suite every requirement.
Newquay is the most popular holiday destination in Cornwall and the surfing capital of the British Isles, with the famous Fistral beach leading the way.
The Beaches:
Towan beach, Tolcarne and Great Western all sheltered from the prevailing southwesterly’s provide a gentle start for beginner surfers. Towan is by far the most sheltered, it even has a tidal rock swimming pool, a favourite with young children. The three beaches are all flat with soft sand, an ideal place for beach games or just building sand castles.
Further along the coast and opening up to the winds, is the exposed Watergate Bay, this is more demanding than the Newquay Bay beaches, but less demanding that Fistral.
The famous Fistral Beach stares the Atlantic in the eye, the waves come on a 3000 mile journey and can be so demanding that even the experienced surfer has to take care. Even in mid winter, when the ‘surfs up’ Fistral is crowded with would be surfing champions or those bitten by the bug.
In this present day Newquay has far more to offer than just some of the best beaches in Europe. The night life is 2nd to none in the whole of the south west. There is a large choice of shops, restaurants, tea rooms, take-aways, pubs and attractions such as Water World, an excellent zoo, golfing and much, much more.
To cater for the hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, the accommodation in Newquay has to be extensive.
Newquay Hotels:
The hotels in Newquay tend to be either small intimate family run or large and luxurious, catering for all needs including coach parties.
Guest Houses in Newquay:
The Newquay guest houses are numerous and spread throughout the town and surrounding area. They specialise in bed and breakfast with the odd one providing an evening meal.
Self Catering:
The self catering in Newquay tends to be either apartments or flats. There are houses, cottages and farms, but these tend to be in the outskirts.
Caravan and Camping Parks:
The caravan parks in Newquay are numerous as are the camping sites.
Accommodation in Newquay is difficult to find in high season, especially in August. It is therefore essential to book well in advance, many of the more popular places are booked sometimes 12 months in advance.
