Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence

The curve of the headland around what is commonly known as Newquay Harbour, provided protection and a natural haven for a small fishing village to evolve and flourish. During the 15th century, the village was originally known as "Towan Blystra" "Towan" meaning sandhill or dune in Cornish, and "Blystra" meaning blown. The current harbour started construction in the early nineteenth century. The use of tramways still served the quays at which old merchant sailing ships were tethered.

The Harbour was built in the 1900's and it was used primarily for storing grain for distribution across the county. There is some evidence to show that silos for storing grain were located to the left of the building which is now used as storage by the local fishermen. It is considered that at some point the building was used as hostel for sea men needing a place to rest between voyages. 

The building was later purchased in the 1950s and converted into a hotel which has been its sole purpose to this day.

It is a lovely period building that we have tried to enhance with contemporary features.

Our focus is very much on the comfort of our guests.

Built into the cliff directly overlooking the harbour, every public room overlooks the sea, and every bedroom has its own balcony overlooking the sea.
