'Wish you were here!' winners - Watergate Bay

Watergate Bay Hotel is a truly spectacular hotel you have to visit – make sure it is on your list! Located in Newquay the hotel is on the doorstep of a two-mile stretch of beach in North Cornwall. It's home to one of the best surf and kitesurfing breaks in the county and is well known as a walkers paradise.

Our favourite thing about The Watergate Bay hotel is the tranquil, relaxing atmosphere surrounding the property. The sound of the sea, the clean and cosy rooms and the tentative staff will make your stay unforgettable. 

Well known for its annual polo events, there are many things to do and see whilst staying at the Hotel from the Electric Beach Festival to the English Nationals Surfing Championships, the hotel boasts a wide range of activities on the events page.

Eating and drinking at Watergate bay could not be easier. There are 5 unique places to eat within the grounds. Zacry’s is where breakfast is served each morning and in the evening there’s a daily changing menu- international and local influenced dishes with a hint of contemporary American cuisine. Cross the reception and you’re in to the hotel’s bar; from 11:30am till 10pm it serves a menu of rustic dishes perfect for sharing.

Down the lane and almost on the sand is The Beach Hut. One of Cornwall’s best known beach-side hangouts and a great place to eat, The Beach Hut serves burgers, steaks, fish and shellfish.

Up above The Beach Hut is Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Cornwall; the Italian inspired, social enterprise restaurant that empowers, unemployed, young people in Cornwall with the kitchen skills and experience to flourish in the world of work.

If you just want to be out on the beach then grab something from Venus Café Sea Lane. This award-winning takeaway has a menu full of local & organic food & drink

Watergate Bay is a family friendly, fresh and exciting hotel, whether staying for 1 night or 2 weeks you are sure to enjoy your experience.
