We recently stayed at the hotel on the 'taste of the bay' and have loved every minute. Food, staff and hotel have been spot on since we arrived. The living room provides a chilled atmosphere and is dog friendly so great after a long walk on the beach relaxing on the comfy sofas. The spa treatments were the best we... More

The Hotel is very nicely located on a beach. Just keep in mind that the hotel is a few kilometers away from Newquay and roads are narrow in the part of England. But there is no real need to move away from that place any way. The rooms are nice and large chose one that has at least partial sea... More

My wife and i stayed here on our honeymoon and loved it so returned this time with our kids for a short 4 day break. This hotel is beautiful and the fact we had bad weather all 4 days of our stay did not bother us as we had what we needed at the hotel. There was a mistake at... More

Took my girlfriend to watergate bay for the weekend and wasn't disappointed. Great room and views. Good food and drinks. And finished it off with a relaxing massage before the long journey home. Drinks are pricey at the bar and kids in the spa pool stopped us from having a swim. Apart from that we'll worth a visit.

Everything about this hotel is amazing. From its fantastic location over the beautiful Watergate Bay, to the attitude of the staff, the rooms and the service. We will certainly return. We booked in for a special four night break after a deal came up on Secret Escapes. The first two nights were in an Ocean Room – beautifully decorated with... More

We enjoyed the taste of the bay 3 day break. Had such a great break , really lovely, staff were really friendly however needed a bit more organisation in the living space area (bar) , a little leadership would take it to the level it deserves. The rooms were lovely and so fresh and clean. The food in the restaurant... More

We are frequent visitors (and got married here in 2010) and we never fail to come away completely refreshed, relaxed and happy. Everything is perfect about it - despite being a beach hotel the place is spotless, the rooms are stunning, the facilities are great (love the new surf change area, hot tub and pool), location is ideal (especially for...

Chilled to the bone in fact, the wind was horrendous during our stay. We had a Better, Ocean View room and were absolutely delighted. Bright and fresh with a lovely view of the cruel and angry sea that battered the coast during our stay. The food was of a high standard, the staff friendly and attentive and I can't recommend...

We didn't have time to eat at the Watergate Bay Hotel, but we dropped in for drinks, and were lucky enough to get sofas on the terrace overlooking the wonderful Watergate Bay, watching the surfers, soaking up the sun, a cocktail or two - fab. Loved the decor, very chill-out style. We'll be back.

First off I should say that I have stayed in this hotel a number of times - I even got engaged here so it is a special hotel to me. However over recent years we have taken our custom elsewhere as we have been disappointed in the hike in prices and lowering of service. In a recent trip to Cornwall,... More
