Rhia and Dom are a lovely, enthusiastic, friendly couple. They had good ideas of where to go to eat, and places to visit. The view from my room was spectacular. I had the full English breakfast every morning which kept me going for much of the day. There were plenty of other breakfast choices though, and even the option of breakfast in bed!

We had a wonderful stay at Cliff House, which is very conveniently situated near the harbour, beaches, restaurants, etc, and highly recommend it. The sea views from our room were stunning—the perfect way to wake up each morning or sit & relax in the evenings. The hosts provided excellent service, making us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was delicious, and the room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Being able to have breakfast in our room was an added bonus.

Rhia and Dom are excellent hosts, chatty and friendly. I am coeliac and had requested glutenfree options for breakfast. The breakfast was amazing and Rhia reassured me by showing where the items were sourced and was very knowledgeable about cross contamination which I very much appreciated. There is an amazing view of the sea from the breakfast room. The atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxed and they provide information on sightseeing and local restaurants. Although our checkout was in the morning, we were kindly allowed to leave our bags for a few hours until we were ready to go to the airport. Rhia also booked a taxi for us for the airport which again was very much appreciated. The location is very central and convenient. I would recommend this guesthouse and would return.

everything, the room was beautifully decorated and the view spectacular. Rhia went above and beyond and her communication was excellent. the location is perfect as it was opposite the Newquay Activity centre for my Women and Waves surfing weekend. Sadly I was not able to sample the breakfast due to the early starts and not being able to back before breakfast closes, but I will next time!

We had such a lovely stay at Cliff House. Newquay in August can be a bit much but being inside Cliff House is so calm and quiet, you can forget all about it. The decor is all about celebrating the views and certainly helps the relaxing vibe the owners are seeking to create. The back of the house faces the ocean and offers superb views from multiple places. We stayed in Fistral - high up on the 2nd floor with views down to the harbour from one window and down to the beach from another. It was lovely hearing the ocean as you drifted to sleep with windows open - no other sound could be heard. It was lovely and quiet. I’d highly recommend a stay here - even in the craziness of August.

Great location for beaches, restaurants and shops. Immaculately clean. Fantastic breakfast with a great selection. Hosts go above and beyond.

Ashley 9.0

The hosts are lovely with big smiles and lots of local recommendations. The breakfast was delicious - porridge, granola with succulent strawberries, full English, Egg & Bacon baps. The views from the breakfast room are lovely and they have board games. Though on the road, we appreciated the wooden table outside for a sundowner. Very close to Sainsbury's and all of Newquay's restaurants/bars.

The property overlooks the beach and Newquay’s historic harbour, with panoramic views that make a morning coffee or an evening stroll especially memorable. Location and surroundings From its elevated position the hotel is tied to the town’s maritime spirit. You are just a short distance from the coast, where the sea air and the town’s waterfront character set the mood for your stay. Fore Street is quiet and welcoming, yet within easy reach of the local shops and eateries that give Newquay its lively, laid back character. The overall feel is one of understated charm and proximity to the water, a combination that appeals to travellers who want to be close to the action without sacrificing a sense of calm. Beach and sea view experience One of Cliff House’s strongest selling points is the connection to the sea. The property overlooks the beach and harbour, and some rooms or suites boast sea views that let you wake to light on the water and watch the horizon from the bed. The interiors echo this coastal mood, with light tones and simple, elegant detailing that frame the views rather than compete with them.

The guest rooms and common areas are designed for comfort and easy living, with seating spaces that invite gentle evenings and leisurely mornings.
