“The Beresford Hotel strikes me as a solid choice for families seeking a Newquay beach holiday, especially given its pet-friendly stance and proximity to attractions like Newquay Zoo. I like that the hotel seems focused on personalized service, and the provision of evening entertainment adds unexpected value. While not the flashiest option, its location and thoughtful touches, such as free drinks each evening, make it a contender, particularly for groups or those attending local events.”

The hotel is in a convenient location very close to the beach and local shops. The room I had was spacious, and the hot showers were especially welcome after my surf lessons. I found the ladies at the reception, Marissa and Caroline, to be the best. They were genuinely nice and very helpful, checking the bus timetable for my trip to the airport..
I found that the hotel is very run down. I noticed watermarks on the ceilings, which suggested leaks, and the carpets looked quite worn throughout. There was no parking available unless I reserved a space at the front, so I needed to park in a nearby car park which cost extra. I also noticed a strange smell upon entering the lobby..
