Cheap Hotels in Newquay

Many people may not think the words "surfing" and "United Kingdom" usually belong in the same sentence, but clearly those people have not heard of Newquay, the UK's surf capital. This town in Cornwall is a veritable surfer's paradise, with lots of great beaches to choose from - all of which have plenty of restaurants, shops, and cheap hotels in Newquay. It is an ideal holiday destination for young people and families alike.

Because of Newquay's reputation as a premier surf destination, there are more cheap hotels in Newquay than there are luxury hotels. There are also cheap backpacker hostels, too, but if you want a little more privacy then the city's many cheap hotels are the way to go. And once you are settled in your room, as long as you are not outside the city, everything you could want to see and do will be within walking distance. This helps to make Newquay a relaxing spot for a holiday just about any time of year (although it is obviously nicer when the weather is good!).

The beaches are, by far, the most popular tourist draw in Newquay - and this is true whether you are visiting to take advantage of the great surfing or just the sun and sand. The city has a youthful energy, and there are plenty of night clubs in the city center, but it is also a great beach town for family travel as well. The city's beaches have different personalities, too, so there are some which are more popular with the surfers and others that are more popular with families. A quick survey of the beaches when you arrive in town will let you know which ones you will want to return to later on.

Some of the cheap hotels in Newquay worth checking out are Minerva Hotel (family-run hotel in central Newquay, some rooms with sea views, full English breakfast included, on-site bar, free use of hotel's surf & body boards), Pendeen Hotel (1 mile from Newquay, full English breakfast included, accommodates 28 people, across the road from a beach), The Bay Hotel (at one end of Newquay's most popular beach, 97 rooms, on-site restaurant, fitness center, on-site spa), Whipsiderry Hotel (on Porth Bay, close to Newquay town center, family-run hotel, 20 rooms, on-site restaurant), and The Esplanade Hotel (on Fistral Beach, many rooms with views of Fistral Beach, rooms for singles to families, on-site restaurant).
