“Barrowfield's location is its undeniable draw, a stone's throw from Newquay's beaches and attractions. While some may find its style a bit dated, there's a certain unpretentious charm in its communal spaces and entertainment offerings. It strikes me as a solid choice for families prioritizing proximity to the seaside over sleek modernity.”

friendly staff helpful staff clean room tidy room hot food tasty food small lift broken lift limited jam
The staff were very friendly and helpful. This created a tender, romantic atmosphere. our room was kept really clean and tidy. It reminded me of a safe haven. the food was hot and tasty. I especially loved the desserts!!!
The lift could only take two people. It felt very cramped. it even broke down while i was there. That was a little scary. there was only one flavor of jam available at breakfast. I wanted variety.

average stay, some issues

constant dripping noise transfer
The noise was a real problem, actually. i could hear everything from the rooms next to mine. there was also this constant dripping sound outside my window. It was some kind of blocked gutter. seriously, this is easy to fix. sort it out!?
