About this property

Welcome to Shore Surf Lodge

Located in a simple townhouse at 110 Mount Wise, Shore Surf Lodge offers an unpretentious place to stay in Newquay. This low-key hotel provides basic facilities including free Wi-Fi, parking, and a bar, while catering particularly to visitors interested in surfing and coastal activities. An all-you-can-eat breakfast is available to start the day, and the accommodation is smoke-free and kid-friendly.

The property features practical rooms noted by guests for cleanliness and comfort, though some have mentioned limitations such as compact bunk beds and occasional maintenance issues. The absence of air-conditioning, a fitness center, and airport shuttle services reflects its straightforward, no-frills style. Friendly and accommodating staff receive positive mentions, contributing to an overall welcoming atmosphere.

Its convenient location places guests within walking distance of popular attractions like Blue Reef Aquarium, Fistral Beach, and Newquay Zoo. The surrounding area offers easy access to coastal views and prime surfing spots, making it suitable for active travelers and families exploring the town. However, the hilly terrain nearby may be a consideration for those with mobility concerns.

Travelers arriving by air will find Cornwall Airport Newquay roughly 14 minutes away by car. Several highly rated hotels are nearby, giving guests options for comparison. While the lodge may not offer extensive amenities found in larger hotels, it serves well for guests seeking an informal and budget-friendly base close to Newquay’s main attractions.

We stayed for a couple of nights, party of three. We took a family room for four people with a bunkbed, but if you are big or taller than 5'5 you won't fit in those bunkbeds. The shower also broke in our last day and one of us had to shower in the shared toilet. Rooms were clean however. You are around 10 min walking from Boots (city centre).

We stay end of July for 4 nights. Myself and partner and two children. First impressions we're great, fun and welcoming. Key lock to get your key's was straightforward.. Had no problem at all. Room wss nice. We had ensuite room. Double bed and bunk beds. There was tea coffee making facilities in the room. TV on the wall. Plenty coat hangers which I Found great. Location of hotel was great. We flew and it was reasonable in a taxi from airport. Its a Very short walk to get into Newquay town. Down I will point out a Very steep hill. Not too bad going down but an absolute killer coming back. So be advised if you struggle walkin or wheelchairs or anything. There is a coastal way but it's much longer. They do do breakfast and in the evening they have a jerk restaurant. We had some nibbles and light bites which we enjoyed. The staff were lovely. And really friendly. Welcoming. I will say they do get busy in the evening when running the restaurant side. But overall we found them very hospitable. They also went above and beyond for me when I accidentally left my grandsons Spiderman and super rare hulkman teddies in the room when we went home. We contacted the hotel who had located the Teddie's. They posted them back to us. Absolutely saving my bacon. So convulsions are I would definitely recommend the shore surf to stay. And would certainly stay again.

I stayed in this lodge this week and I have to say it was amongst one of the best hotel stays I've ever had. The room was really nice and clean and it was comfortable. The location is five minutes away from everything (cinema, beach, town centre) etc so it was very convenient. The staff were incredible and provide a personalised service to their residents and always say hello, they have a good chat with their residents and their cook is also brilliant and made an amazing chicken goujon meal. Overall, I would happily stay here agai and thank you to the staff for their amazing hospitality. 10/10 for satisfaction. Recommendation for improvement- The TV didn't work and wasn't connected or tuned so this would be good for improvement but everything else was perfect.

Stayed at Shore lodge recently. And it had been wonderful. The new manager was lovely, an asset to the hotel. Food was not being served due to the situation with covid and a change in management. Which was understandable, and explained fully by the manager on site. However still thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would 100% stay here again.
