TRAVEL There are many ways to get to Newquay, but we chose to drive from London, so we had the car to get around in on holiday.

...The last 30 miles to Newquay itself took 2.5hrs!!! So take a magazine and some snacks as on a Saturday when holiday makers are changing over its a nightmare!!!!

Advantages: Great place for youngsters to visit
Disadvantages: Can get too busy in the summer for the locals

I live just outside Newquay and have been there about 9 years now. Newquay has grown much more busy over the years. When i first moved here it used to be packed in the summer but dead in the winter. Loads of the shops closed up etc. which was annoying. But now it is much busier all year round. Nightlife - can be good but it depends what music etc. you're into. I'm sure the tourists love it but for the locals it can be a bit tiresome. There's quite ...
...music and fun summer tunes. Can get a bit cheesy but good fun if you're on holiday. There's also a R n' B and hip hop room where you can chill out. There's an upstairs as well which can be a bit quieter if you need a break from the music. There are quite a few bars in the place and lots of seating. The queues can be rather big though to get in there in the summer. It also has a pub joined onto it where you can go first. The pub is quite big, has ... Read review

Advantages: In the summer it's surf city
Disadvantages: Hen and Stag hell.

I went to Newquay for the surf festival in 2003 with five of my mates. We stayed in Smugglers Haven campsite and 18 - 30s campsite just outside Newquay town. It took us 9 hours to actually get down there from the midlands, normally it would take about 3 or four but we had to detour a lot of traffic heading down there. Newquay is packed in the summer. On arriving at our muddy caravan park we were greeted by a few quite friendly shouts from various ...

This is the golden snitch if your in a packed taxi queue at midnight and you see this bus run for it, it is only £1.50 for a single whereas taxies in Newquay can vary £10-£20. Once you get into town it is packed with Hen parties and stag nights. There’s a sea of slogan t-shirts with things like SLAG 1 written on the back the worst slogan I saw ... Read review

Advantages: great nightlife, there is always something to do
Disadvantages: the weather is abit unpredictable

...7of my friends went to newquay august 2004 and it was such a good holiday, we are plannig to go back again this year. The hotel we stayed at was called the golant and was located on mount wise, so it is right near to the town, great as you dont have far to walk to go out at night, but i would say it is a little too far from fistral beach, bout 15min walk! The hotel was a good place to stay for young people as the owners were nice, there is a hotel ...
