- the staff were so lovely, very chatty and made us feel so welcome, they work incredibly hard and what a lovely place is it because of them all. - it was exceptionally clean, the lady cleaner asked if we would like our room cleaned in the second day too which was very nice of her though we kindly declined but a nice touch. - the breakfast was cooked fresh and was a great standard. - it is in a perfect location, on a lovely beach but also only a 10 minute walk from fistal beach (maybe 15) which is well worth a visit, one of the nicest beaches I’ve been too with a great bar which we sat at all day! - there is a really nice coffee shack just across the grass area outside of the hotel which is also worth a visit. - overall it was absolutely perfect and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else, beyond happy with the experience and the people were so lovely.

Absolutely nothing, it was perfect. If I was being really picky then the parking is a bit of pain but plenty of paid parking places around so not that much of a problem.

We found that Owen and Margaret could not do enough for anyone, always on hand, pleasant polite , fabulous breakfast, same for Natalia she would make sure your breakfast was right, everyday ask if we need anything or want anything doing with our room. The little touches of sweets at reception. Also the girl who helped me retrieve my towel which fell out the window amazing to go above and beyond. Breakfast was a great choice , hot and fresh, bowl of fruit too 😋. Lots to choose from . Our room was on the smaller size but Owen did inform us, we didn't mind at all and actually it was a nice size for the 2 of us , clean, fresh. Decor lovely too. Bar was lovely and very reasonable on price too , loved to have gone a few times but we met family every night but on our return in the future we will have a few more in the bar . Parking is enough space for around 4 cars , we parked on manor Rd car park literally 5 min walk and cost only £26.50 for a week , bargain pay at the carpark

Nothing we didn't like

We came to Newquay for the festival and really enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent – very close to the main street, with lots of shops and restaurants, and within walking distance of the beach and the surf spot. The breakfast was full and varied, with plenty of delicious options. The service was excellent – all the staff went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and had a great stay. It was very convenient and felt safe. The property owners were incredibly helpful with anything we needed. There’s no doubt we’ll be coming back!

No AC. Which it’s fine if it’s not too hot.

Our recent stay in Newquay was absolutely fantastic, largely due to the incredible hospitality we received. The owners, Margaret and Owen are hard working couple caring about all the guests. The whole place is always spotlessly clean, making it a pleasure to return to each time. All the staff are super friendly, a big thank you to Natalie and John. The view from the window simple incredible... The breakfast very big and delicious! If you are looking for a welcoming, immaculate, and highly recommended place to stay in Newquay, this is it! See you soon! Lots of love Piotr and Natalia x

OYO bed and breakfast is perfectly located overlooking a small park with views out across the sea. It was very relaxing, and I slept well even during the busier July/August - The only noise at night were the waves from the sea, and occasional seagulls. I'd like to set a really big thanks to Margaret, her husband, and all the staff there who made our stay memorable and enjoyable. The breakfast was really good, although I did start a bit too late for us. This is not surprising given it is a B&B. We stayed in the Seaview room. Our room had wonderful comfortable carpet, a comfortable bed, a good shower with always on hot water, and mini fridge, a kettle and some tea/coffee. TV worked with usual DVB-T channels and builtin Netflix/Amazon ( bring your own credentials to sign-in).

Nothing. Everything was good.

The owners Margaret & Owen, along with their staff, were amazing. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. The morning breakfasts were always a bonus with a delightful menu that had something for everyone and Margaret stopping by each table to say good morning! From the windows in our room was a spectacular view of the water and beach with chairs in the room facing out so you could sit, relax and enjoy the view. The surrounding area has many shops and places to eat within walking distance as well. While we were there, it just so happened there was a food festival going on that weekenk just across the street! Food,music and nice people! Great time! We had to leave very early on our last day, Margaret left us each a bag of snacks and fruit for our journey. We would most definitely stay here again! Hospitality, friendly, cleanliness, and comfortable rooms. Mahalo,Andrew & Cindy

That we had to leave :)

Six of us spent four nights at the Minerva Guesthouse. We were welcomed by very kind hosts, put up in a small but comfortable (family) room and a double room with a view of the beach. Breakfast was adequate and you could ask from a menu. The breakfast area is small, so guests are expected to have breakfast in two rotations based on room number. Our two rooms were not in the same rotation, but the host was flexible to arrange for us to have breakfast together. The house is located 150 m from the beach. On the first day there was parking in front of the house, then we had to look for it, but 300 meters away there is a big parking lot where you have to pay between 9 am and 6 pm. If you are on the road during the day, parking is free. Margaret and Owen, thank you very much!

We had a lovely stay, I'm only disappointed that it was just for the 1 night! The accommodation was very clean and nicely decorated and the view from our room was beautiful! The room was very quiet, we only slightly heard the room next door to us as they entered/exited and it wasn't any issue. I found the bed very comfortable although my partner found the pillows too soft for his preference. Breakfast was delicious, we both had a full English and the location was fantastic for getting to the beach. We parked in the long stay car park but actually the parking immediately outside the accommodation wasn't too bad, there were several occasions where we saw space available - it would just be luck of the draw whether you manage to get a space there or not.

A very pleasant stay. The whole staff were very attentive and super friendly, which is not a given everywhere. We really enjoyed it. The rooms especially the ones facing the sea were very nice and the beds were super comfortable. The guesthouse as a whole was very quiet and super central to the pedestrian zone, pubs and restaurants as well as the bus stop. There are good bus connections to Truro, for example. We hope to come back and would love to stay at Oyo Guesthouse again, the whole stay was just heavenly. Thank you very much to everybody at OYO Guesthouse once again and stay as you are.

nothing.

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness by the lovely hosts, Margaret and her husband Owen. They have such a friendly, homely presence and instantly made me feel at ease, it truly felt like I was staying with family. The room was spotless and thoughtfully prepared, with great ventilation, super comfortable beds, and a powerful shower. Everything you could ask for in a relaxing stay. Breakfast was a real highlight, with delicious fresh options made to order from the kitchen. You can really tell they put love into everything they do. A special shout-out to Natalia, who provided absolutely exceptional customer service! Her attentiveness and positive energy made the experience all the more memorable. It's clear that every member of staff at Minerva works incredibly hard to make your stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. I'm genuinely so grateful for the opportunity to stay here. It was more than just a place to sleep, it was an experience. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly, highly recommend!
