Having found a few days off over Easter, I struggled to find accommodation at any of our usual Newquay 'Haunts'. I saw The Windward on the web and it looked comfortable and reasonably priced so I booked a family room for my wife and I, plus our seven year old. The hotel is in a lovely situation and is very...

We stayed here for 2 nights in the sea-view room with balcony and can highly reccommend it. The views overlooking Porth bay were phenomenal and the balcony was served by a large table and chairs. The hotel staff, mainly the son of the proprietor were extremely helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble. If we ever visited Newquay in the future... More

After an earlier stay this summer my wife and l decided to make THE WINDWARD HOTEL the location to celebrate my Birthday with all my family. We knew they would just love this charming hotel, the owners provided a lovely buffet which just made the evening perfect. Most of my family stayed over night so we could all relax in... More

I am just about to book my next vacation at The Windward Hotel and logged into Trip Advisor to look at the reviews. I could not believe some of the comments of photos that guests or photos that guests have taken. Hows sad to go on vacation and take pictures of a kettle or lying on the bed taking a... More

We enjoyed the splendid view but had the feeling in the hotel that we were being watched all the time. The CCTV made us feel most unwelcome and uncomfortable. We were strongly encouraged to use the bar (I don't drink), but were advised that if we should borrow any glasses or ice for any alcohol that we had purchased elsewhere... More

We had a pleasurablesingle night stay with Paul and Sue who made us feel very welcome and provided a friendly, personal service. The room was clean and just about big enough as a double with storage, an ensuite and table and chairs. Breakfast is served in the lovely front facing conservatory which overlooks the bay. The spacious surroundings, great breakfast... More

We stayed at the Windward Hotel in July and, have read the management responses to complaints about the hotel, stating that guests should complain at the time of their stay rather than afterwards. We did complain, we thought discreetly, about rubbery eggs and fatty bacon for breakfast during our stay, and subsequently endured an aggressive and very embarrassing public remonstration... More

Lovely views, but it is very over priced for just a b&b that is also very dated. Has cameras in the b&b and she makes you very aware they are watching you so no one steals anything, which we found very uncomfortable. Me and my partner accidently left a couple of things behind in the room, as these things can... More

Firstly, see earlier management responses re pricing to which nothing can be added. Secondly, no 2 people like the same décor so you will never please everyone on that one. The number of guests who like it far outweighs the numbers that don’t. Room pictures taken Winter 2009/2010 are also visible on our website so if the rooms look that... More

Excellent hotel, perfect for our honeymoon. Thank you to Sue and Paul for making our stay perfect. Breakfasts were first class, rooms were lovely and we were upgraded to the honeymoon suite. The room had a stunning view over Porth beach (which is lifeguarded daily) and were cleaned daily. The location was peaceful and quite but within a 5 minute... More
