We received a warm welcome from the hosts. They helped with our bags, and every morning, they greeted us with big smiles. We felt really welcome! The other residents were also friendly, and we often had a chat during breakfast. It was like a safe space! LOCATION was perfect we could just walk down to the beach, town centre at any time, no extra cost. Parking was reserved for us, and that was a bonus. We booked a cab to at night and only paid £5. So, the location was just everything! Breakfast was so good we had variety, cooked to perfection although quite early (not a morning person). Our room was beautiful, with a sea view, small bathroom (told during booking) but cleaned every day. Spotless!

I felt restricted with the hotel rules and regulations, especially around quiet times, we felt like we were walking on eggshells, not wanting to annoy the hosts. We are not used to this! No Netflix to chill when it rains outside and no soundproofing we could hear everything...

Everything was excellent, although I never met Amy, John was very attentive to detail, making sure anything I requested for breakfast was was also attended to. From the 32” flat screen smart TV, to the on suite bathroom, with the Mira power shower, I cannot fault anything about this property.

So if I could fault it for anything, I would have to admit it doesn’t have a pool, or spa, yet I didn’t book for that, so there’s really nothing I could say against it.

Very friendly owners who went the extra mile to welcome their guests. They even apologised for the poor weather. The room was freshly renovated and very comfortable. Only a short walk to Newquay town centre. Breakfast was excellent and mainly uses local produce, the eggs were a really nice bright colour. The owners go out of their way to accommodate special dietary requirements especially if advised at the time of booking. Parking is very good, but with limited numbers so be sure to book in advance.

The weather was terrible which meant we couldn't really enjoy Newquay or in fact much of Cornwall.

Amy and John are wonderful hosts. Lots of choices for the included breakfast and the food was excellent. Property is tastefully renovated and really well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The climb to the top floor is a bit of a chore for seniors, but manageable.

We had great communication and were made to feel immediately welcome. The accommodation was spotless and our room was modern and the bed so comfy. We had a great choice for breakfast and the food was delicious. As an added bonus park immediately out the front. The accommodation was in a great location and a 5 minute walk to shops, pubs, restaurants and the beach. We will definitely be recommending to friends and family 😊

We absolutely loved our stay in Geckos Rest, John and Amy were amazing hosts. The room was absolutely spotless and in an amazing location. You literally just walk across the road down a little walkway and you're right in Newquay town. Breakfast was delicious every morning. John was so so helpful telling us all the places around to visit. we'd highly recommend Geckos rest to everyone! Thank you so much John and Amy

Couldn't fault one thing!

We loved our stay here! Amy & John were both so welcoming and kind. The accommodation is seriously spotless and so well maintained! We couldn’t fault anything. Location is spectacular! Breakfast was amazing, we felt like we were at a cafe. The attention to detail is exceptional. The room was spotless and so cosy. We couldn’t recommend it enough!

When I booked this hotel I went on reviews it was rated excellent and it was Cannot fault this place to stay hosts was very polite friendly and couldn't be any more helpful we arrived very early at 10.0 clock and has booking in is not until 2 pm we were allowed to park in car park while our room was being prepared. Excellant cooked breakfast plenty of Choices, room spotlessly clean had every thing you needed, location from town great but a very steep hill up to hotel could be a problem if you have difficulty walking. I would definitely reccomend and return to this hotel Aug 2023

There is nothing about this hotel not to like

From the friendly welcome from John and Amy through to the well presented and very clean and confirmable room to the excellent full English Breakfast, there was nothing to complain about during our stay. Even at the end John kindly allowed us to leave our car on the site for a few hours while we grabbed some last minute beach time. A thoroughly great few days, and we're very happy to recommend Geckos Rest.

There was nothing not to like. If I was really pressed the toilet/shower was slightly small, but that was indicated in the information prior to booking. No, really, nothing was not to like.

Lovely B&B! There are absolutely incredible views of the sea from the hotel’s windows. Perfect location, it’s very close to the sea, city centre and some of the attractions of Newquay. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, great variety of food for you to chose, always fresh and tasty. Very nice hosts, it’s always pleasant to have a chat with them. Rooms are always clean and you can find everything you need in there, there also is a very cosy atmosphere. Lounge is so cool, perfect common area to sit with your drink, play games, watch something or even read a book. If you run out of your snacks or milk and coffee from the room, you always can purchase some snacks and take coffee and fresh milk for free. 10/10!

Everything was great.
