this is a great place from which to explore central Cornwall, north or south coast.

The location was great for Bodmin Moor, the coast and Lost Gardens of Heligan.

It was a good place to be based for our trips to Eden Project and also the Lost Gardens of Heligan and a few small quiet great beaches.

We stayed for 5 nights and chose here because it's only 30 mins to either coast, it was perfect for where we wanted to visit.

St Benet's Abbey and Lanivet are both well placed to visit the north and south coast of Cornwall.

We stayed a night on way to St Agnes on coast.

We spent three weeks in England as a trip of a lifetime 30th anniversary present to ourselves and originally part of the agenda was to spend a day in Tintagel along the magnificent South Coast trail.

The St Benet's is ideally placed for seeing Cornwall's north and south coast and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone wishing to visit Cornwall.

Access to north and south coasts is very easy from here which increases your options of places to visit without taking very much time.

Stayed 3 nights, with friends and would do so again as the location is perfect for visiting both the north and south Cornish coast.

The Abbey is well located for day trips along the north and south coast, and very close to the Eden Project.

but is a short 40 - 50 minute drive away to both west and south cities on the coast.

The location is ideal for both coasts and several of the other guests were walking the Saints Way.

We stayed for two nights and on the second night enjoyed way too many drinks in the lounge/ bar area that DJ personally served us (I do apologise for the presumably stumbiling conversation to the couple who were trekking along the coastline and the adult family who were staying at the Abbey on behalf of work).

It is situated on the outskirts of the small village of Lanivet which is equi-distant from each coast.

Very good location for north or south coasts, Eden Project, Lanhydrock House etc. Good pub food and fish&chip restaurant in the nearby village (a dark walk back tho')

Nestled in central Cornwall and within easy driving distance of gorgeous coastal beaches and spectacular countryside, this delightful B & B made our stay in Cornwall just about perfect.

From there we were able to take day trips to the various attractions and the coast.

Breakfast was good and the location is within easy reach of many of Cornwall's finest resorts and beaches.

An ideal base from which to cover both north and south Cornwall with many villages, beaches and attractions only a short drive away.

Jenny and her staff are warm and helpful, the rooms spacious and comfortable and the breakfasts ideal before a full day of Cornish tourism.

The breakfast was delicious with granola & fruit juice to start then I had smoked haddock with scrambled egg followed by toast & coffee served in a lovely dining room.

We were greeted by our lovely friendly host Jenny, and felt thoroughly spoilt by the comfortable rooms and wonderful vegetarian breakfasts.

In the morning had a full English breakfast which was delicious and nothing was to much trouble.

The breakfast was very fresh, generous with a decent selection.

A fresh breakfast is made every morning and you can choose the time you wish it made for.

Very clean, rooms are serviced every day and a lovely breakfast, always served with a smile by Jenny and her staff.

She made an effort to learn our names and greeted us every morning at breakfast.

but we hadn't even put our bags on the reception floor before we were asked to make our breakfast choices for the morning.

Breakfast was nice and lovely and a big thank you/Salamat to Jenny :-)
I will definitely recommend this place to all my family and friends and have not stopped talking about it to loved ones.

Breakfast, from a selection beyond the expectations of a B&B was pre-ordered from the previous evening and was delivered with precision, quantity and quality.

We stay for 5 nights in August the people were very welcoming and friendly we had a lovely cooked breakfast every morning the room were clean and had a lovely atmosphere would go there again.

The breakfasts were lovely, and there was a choice of smoked Salmon and scrambled eggs, or full English.

Breakfast each morning is individually prepared and there is good Covid 19 compliance.

Just stayed at the Abbey for 3 nights and would certainly revisit,it's clean ,cosy the breakfast was very good,served by a smileing waitress.Jenny and her husband really make you welcome it is worth a stay.the village is a 4 min walk and has an excellent pub.St Benets Abbey is well positioned for exploring Cornwall and it's attractions.

The breakfast was fantastic, you pick a time you want it, top quality produce.

Great food for breakfast and B& B is walking distance to the pub in Lanivet for evening food.

though the property is sited on a main road it is set back and we were not disturbed by noise at all.

There was ample storage space and whilst the main road runs outside, and this is very busy, the building was well soundproofed and there was no noise at night.

We stayed in room 5 which was at the back so quiet,view of tower which is undergoing works so obscured by scaffolding which was a shame.

The Abbey is in a small quiet village and has a nice pub with great atmosphere and staff.

We had a large quiet room with a nice shower and separate tub.

Garden Room on the outside of the hotel a bit noisy from the road, otherwise clean and comfortable

Pretty surroundings and enjoyed the sound of the close rippling stream.

Really quiet and nice view over the rear garden and the original Abbey ruins.

The bed was comfortable and it was lovely and quiet at night, we slept very well.

What a wonderful old building, so caringly restored, and in a superb location on the outskirts of the village.Our room(Room 4) was lovely, had everything we needed and, most importantly for me, was very quiet!!

Our room was on the main floor at the back, it was very quiet.

The details in the architecture are exquisite, the grounds are stunning and the rooms are extremely charming, quiet and beautifully furnished.

A lovely overnight stay if you want somewhere quiet near the Lost Gardens of Heligan and Eden Project.

The location is excellent being just 2 minutes from the A30 yet the setting is quiet with beautiful woodland behind.

Extremely lovely place to stay, , very handy for touring this area of cornwall,ease of access to main link roads, yet in a quiet by road, excellent parking, free wi-fi, good housekeeping, good food and cosy, well-fitted rooms.

Although located next to a road, we heard no noise at all and we would 100% stay here again if we were down that area.

Although the bathroom was on the small side, it was adequate for one night.

VERY damp, with mould everywhere, with a loo & tiny shower squashed into a very small closet-type space.

At 6 feet 2 inches tall, I couldn't stand up fully in the shower, and had to contort myself awkwardly to utilise the toilet, avoiding the one of those impractically small sinks that are all too commonplace.

We were allocated to a small room attached to the main building with tiny bathroom and no wifi.

The room was also smaller than expected and the bathroom was very small (located in what used to be a closet) and the room was not very warm due to a draft coming in from under our bedroom door.

but nothing marvellous - the coffee/tea making facilities were standard but the bathroom was small and bath very short and narrow.

Small room and bathroom, and tiny bath with fixed shower overhead (with plenty of hot water once you've let it run for a couple of minutes or so).

Otherwise, a few small things let the room down.

Our room was small (twin beds tend to do that)

Our room was a little on the small size as no superior rooms left so we knew we would only have a shower room as opposed to a bath

but my dog is a graze eater so eats slowly meaning I would have to leave his wet and dry food outside to possibly get contaminated or stale.

That's where it ends I am afraid-room dark and shabby, mould all on bathroom ceiling, skirting rotting in bathroom.

However due to a few days of nasty rainy weather we ultimately decided against climbing rocky cliffs in the rain.

but this degree of mould is unacceptable in a commercial establishment.

Having fallen foul of a terrible "Air BnB" stay on the Saturday night which we were desperate to escape from we were welcomed with open arms at St Benet's Abbey on the Sunday.

However, we did have to set out wearing damp boots owing to the fact that there was no drying room available.

Poor ventilation in the room also has resulted in a few small blackened patches of dampness on the walls - these were not problematic,

However, the owners are so obliging they might produce the usual  cold meats and cheese for European visitors who ask for them in advance.What could be a cold and musty venue was in fact warm, welcoming and well maintained.

On a trip looking at several hotels in Cornwall this was THE BEST BREAKFAST I enjoyed.

His best advice in terms of rental car, which we will take on our next trip to Cornwall, is Enterprise Rent a Car.

Nearby laundry if you are on a longer trip.

Just returned from a quick trip down to see friends and family.

The whole trip was lovely and the comfort of knowing we were returning each night to a warm, welcoming and safe base made it all the more relaxing.

St Benet's is a lovely property near to Bodmin Cornwall, and for us a stop for a night on the way home from a road trip.

We stayed 3 nights and took daily trips to various points of interest in Cornwall such as Port Isaac, Penzance, St. Ives, Tintangel, tin minesetc, It was a perfect location for us.

This was a pleasant surprise for our quick trip around Cornwall.

We had decided to stay in the Bodmin area for a few days and take day trips out to some of the Cornwall attractions and the Abbey is well and centrally situated for such a plan.

We will definitely be back on our next trip to Cornwall! !

My girlfriend organised a fantastic trip to Cornwall, and this was our first stop.

Before our arrival to St Benet's Abbey, my Fiancé and I had avidily searched Trip Advisor to get a first impression of what our stay would be like.

We are already planning a trip back so that we can enjoy it for a few nights and visit some of the many local attractions (Eden Project and Bodmin Steam Railway to name two).

The location is very central in Cornwall and makes a great base for day trips or walking.

We chose this hotel when visiting a sick friend in Cornwall purely on the basis of the Trip Advisor reviews and were certainly not disappointed.

We had a dilemma with transport at all ends for our one way (Cycle, Foot & Kayak) trip.

We had breakfast each of our 3 mornings, a combination of continental, cereals or cooked and an evening meal in the Hotel for the Sunday.

I would like to commend Cathy the breakfast host in her excellent service and cheery welcome such a lovely lady .

Really nice hotel, nice room and good breakfast and dinner.

We had accommodation, ate in the pub/restaurant  connected, and had breakfast.

Great location,plenty of parking space friendly staff, clean rooms and a great night sleep and you wake up to a  Lovely all you can eat breakfast.

Breakfast was great evening meal was great, very friendly and welcoming staff couldn't of asked for more.

The staff couldn’t have been more helpful especially at breakfast when we asked for the vegan options for things.

You know what to expect with premier inn breakfast and it was great, food in evening was good (remember to book

We made this our main summer holiday destination this year due to the chaos at the airports, and, we made the right decision to stay at Premier Inn,  quintrell downs, just over 2 miles from Newquay,  on the bus route, choice of 3 buses, and train station, couple of nearby village pubs, and the hotel staff were friendly and knowledgeable, restaurant/pub, lovely food and drinks, free car parking, perfect ingredients for a lovely stay, especially as the sun shone the whole time

English Breakfast is to order rather than buffet so is hot when it arrives.

Breakfast was fresh and it was cooked seperate from all the meat.

but she said we could have a free breakfast.

but their breakfast was freshly cooked which was a fabulous surprise.

Had breakfast every day which was good and ate in restaurant on two evenings .

Staff were amazing great service and friendly 
Room was spotless very clean 
Bed is so comfortable as always for premier inn that is one of the main reasons for our stay 
Breakfast is Fantastic food taste great and there is plenty of variety it’s a must.

Staff are very friendly and the waitress the served us at breakfast is lovely.

The breakfast was very good and the service was excellent.The evening meal itself was very good

Exceptional service from Donna at breakfast, very helpful and friendly.

For those reasons I wouldn’t return, definitely recommend booking somewhere closer to the beaches and parking in long stay car parks if you’re there for the beaches/town

Car parking is free which is good as a lot of premier inn charge for this.

The Inn was very quiet despite how many cars where outside I don't think we saw or heard anorher person, good facilities in the room and the large bath was great!

Parking easy and safe  the hotel is situated just in the right place for a visit into car wall and surrounding area.

but sometimes the meals are not as good as others  showers are really good power shower beds really clean hotal really clean and easy to check in and a good size car park overall stay very good

Fairly quick to check in with a large enough car park at the back.

excellent service from all staff, very welcoming and efficient both in the hotel and restaurant with good choice of value for money food, lots of car parking on site.

Otherwise its location on the outskirts of town is perfect for heading off to explore by car.

Very good location for getting around, car parking available, restaurant attached didn't have breakfast

Plenty of car parking for guests and pub visitors.

Very well situated to get to anywhere in Cornwall by either car or bus.

Good car parking and a lift if you can't use the stairs.

Convenient location very easy to get into central Newquay and large car parking which can be a nightmare sometimes when on holidays.

Fistral beach, Newquay zoo, The eden project all a short car journey away.

The WiFi was ok, and car park was big enough to always get a space.

Made welcome from the start, slept well, very clean room and good car parking.

A good big car park, and not too far from the attractions of Cornwall.

a good car park plenty of room  ..a great package all round./././..

We went to Fistral beach, lands end, st Ives, mousehole, Eden project, Bedruthan steps from here.

Great location for Newquay - a ten minute or so drive to Fistral beach.

Had a really nice 2 night stay when attending the Boardmasters Festival, Convenient for Fistral Beach and Watergate bay.

Close enough for a couple of miles drive to Fistral Beach, and vey near the A30.

Location approximately five minutes drive from Newquay Town / Fistral Beach

The hotel urgently needs a refurbishment and the poor staff are run ragged due to shortages.

Just frustrated to  loose the room and to be woke up by a silly toaster location is a bit poor for a firm like premier inn.

?the central heating is electric with a poor temperature controller down to 17C and still sweating

We did pay for the unlimited breakfast, of which was very poor.

Bar and restaurant need proper management and food was cold and poor quality ingredients.

All in all the food experience was poor on this occasion.

good location, good breakfast staff, poor staff at dinner, no phones in the room, bad internet.

The pub and meal booking gets extremely busy, especially if the weather is poor.

Very Helpful staff, But poor sleep due to Noise of aircon fans.

- Usual Premier Inn policy of only providing one hand towel (why should I always have to return to reception to request a 2nd towel)
- Had a sirloin steak one night and it was poor.

This hotel is noisy,and the bed was poor and smelt of smoke.

The breakfast was very poor compared to other premier inn breakfasts.

but major downside for me as I was on a business trip was the poor wifi (yes you can pay for an upgrade but nowadays you shouldn't have to) and the phone signal was so poor in my room that effective working was impossible.

Location was good, quality sleep was poor due to room being on top of some sort of power room, didn't see much staff and when we did they were talking g with other members of staff
I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel,

This poor rating is for one particular room in this particular Premier Inn.

Awful toiletries
Really slow and under powered hair dryer
Really noisy, people running around upstairs and random banging noises
I understand that Premier Inns are not a 4 star hotel

Was woken up by the sounds of water gurgling at 1am till 2.30am!

After speaking to guest relations, apparently I should have made a complaint as the noise was happening so they could rectify.

We had to have the window open as it was warm and so the noise of the traffic was a bit of a bother.

Unfortunately the room we were in was above the plant room and the noise kept us awake.

The bed was uncomfortable, lumpy and noisy.

The noise from the road traffic at Quintrell Downs was loud and went on thru the night on the 3 nights we were there so sleep was disturbed a lot.

How would you like It If I came to your house and shoved a Air Horn through your letterbox at lets say 2:00 In the Morning three times.

This was okay until early morning when we were woken up by this lady shouting and swearing into her phone.

The only issues we had was that the bed creaked loudly with minimal movement and the free wifi wasn’t worth the hassle, which I assume is deliberate so that you pay for the more expensive ‘premier’ wifi.

but………We were given a really big room with one major issue…the window did not shut so we were kept awake all night with the wind whistling through the secondary glazing.

but with windows closed no traffic noise at all.

stay away at all costs pickedthis hotel over one on newquay seafront as some of the reviews said it was loud well let me tell you it could not have been louder then here as all you get staying here are builders rooms were not clean kettle had gunk coming out of the spout when i went to reception to ask for anougther one was met by a very rude lady saying we dont have any more!

The rooms have A/C so no issues with a stuffy room at night and not being able to open the windows due to road noise.

but being on a main road (roundabout) traffic noise was horrendous from about 5.30am onwards.

One morning we were rudely awakened by the fire alarm going off at 7am.

Unfortunately, I only got 3 hours sleep due to the noise so was disappointed we got a ground floor room and after a 6 5 hour journey to the hotel just needed a good sleep!

Bed uncomfortable very hard had a horrible nights sleep glad I was only here 1 night as I have never woken up so many times in one night and was only given one pillow which was so thin you may as well of not had one at all.

We kept getting woken up every time other rooms flushed their toilets, really load!

but 1 night we were woken up at just after 4 am by loud noises from the room upstairs.

Stayed here a few times and never disappointed, check in quick and easy, communal areas very clean, the room was immaculate and there was a little treat left in there for us too, will continue to use this lovely hotel everytime I come here to visit my family.

What can I say just a brilliant stay again we stay at this hotel every year staff friendly while being professional rooms allways spotless food allways good location is fantastic for visiting various places

By far the best stay at this handy for visiting Cornwall local attractions, premier inn.

but being understaffed at the moment is not always easy.We didn't have a sofa / sofa bed in the room this time which we did miss staying for 5 days, just a couple of hard chairs.We would return here as a good base for visiting other parts of Cornwall, & not far from Newquay, use the bus stops or the park & ride up the road to go into Newquay though as limited parking there & big queues into town.

We will visit again, we'll done to all staff during these unprecedented times.

We usually choose this premier inn when we are visiting Cornwall because of the central location, restaurant and facilities.

Wish other places we visited while we were in Newquay were half as pleasant

We were very nervous about travelling in lockdown and took various paper proofs of to the nature of our visit.

My partner and i have just returned from a 6 day break visiting family in New quay and stayed in the Quintrell downs hotel.

She really went above and beyond to make sure our visit was a pleasant one.

Hotel easy to find, well placed to visit all family and friends within the area.

although you need to book tables early as it's very popular (our visit was at end of October).

Sam our waitress in the pub area for dinner was very lovely , time for a chat about our visit.

This was our second visit and we had a lovely stay again.

This is definitely a place to visit again and explore more of Cornwall.

I just wanted to say I have went way for a weekend break with my family.to visit Cornwall,
I have stayed 2 nights and I have to say this hotel staff is the best .

Excellent location for visiting Newquay Perranporth Mevagissey and so many beaches to chose from, we would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to friends and family , we even went to Padstow for Rick Steins fish n chip 😝

Premier Inn Newquay (Quintrell Downs) Hotel

poor

visit

fistral-beach

The room was ok decent bed quirky shower over bath.

We stopped on a bargain break with Dinner Bed and Breakfast and thought it was really good value for money.

We had the Rock room in the cottage which was a reasonable size,  comfortable bed and en-suite.

I Put a huge sleeping bag on the bed took a painkiller for the siatica i had for most of the long drive and tried to rest.

Very comfy bed and large clean room, if not immaculate.

We were quite happy to bring our own dog bed and eating bowls and there were good walks around hotel to exercise her.

Our room was described as a 'superior, king, double'.

Although our room was at the front of the hotel the main road didn’t bother us, a lovely room with a very comfy bed good quality towels and linen .

We were on a Cornish break which comprises three course dinner with a bottle of wine, bed and breakfast for £75 per person per night.
