THE DETAILS
Location
We love being able to step outside onto the tidal sands of Fistral Beach, just a stone's throw from the hotel's entrance.
The hotel overlooks Fistral Beach from the cliffs, and is 30 minutes' walk from central Newquay's shops, bars and restaurants.
By car: it's 5 hours from London, 3 hours from Bristol and 90 minutes from Exeter. There is paid private parking available at the hotel.
By train: London Paddington to Newquay (via Par) takes around 5 hours. The station is 10 minutes from the hotel in a taxi. thetrainline.com
Style & Character
This ocean-inspired hotel is suited to coastal adventurers and watersports lovers, as well as those looking for a little relaxation in sublime surrounds. For a beach-chic aesthetic that fits, look no further than the stylish Tom Raffield lampshades that hang in the award-winning Bay Bar and lounge.
Service & Facilities
We were every-inch relaxed after indulging in the Quicksilver Surfer's massage, post-swim in the vitality pool. What's not to love about waking to the sound of the ocean and heading to a yoga class, before a cold-water swim!
