Not only does it have a wonderful view of the harbour but the food is nothing short of outstanding, honestly some of the best food we have ever had, fresh and beautifully presented.
Staff were amazing and so friendly, if you haven’t been then definitely add it to your list."

The Best Family Friendly Beaches In Newquay
This is not an obvious choice for many but Newquay’s harbour caters for any age thanks to the gentle wave free waters, the fishing opportunities and it’s a brilliant spot to try your hand at stand up paddle boarding. It has a small car park next to the harbour but during the peak summer months, it’s very busy so we’d recommend leaving the car in one of the many town car parks and walking here. Spread out a blanket, unpack the bucket and spade and simply relax.

The Harbour Fish and Grill isn’t so much a ‘classic chippy’ takeaway but more a ‘classy chippy’ restaurant for the days where you fancy something a little more, well, fancy. This seaside favourite serves up some of the best fish dishes in Newquay for seriously reasonable prices, and their classic fish and chips option is no different.

Two of our favourite beaches for a swim are the sheltered beaches of Lusty Glaze and The Harbour. With a stay at the Great Western, you’ll also have easy access to the Great Western Beach. Whilst slightly less sheltered, this beautiful stretch is right on your doorstep making it the ideal spot for a morning wake-up dip and you can race back up the winding path for a warm shower!
