Jackie was an utterly fabulous host for myself & 6 16yr old boys on a recent visit celebrating completion of their GCSEs. The lodge is spotlessly clean & tidy. It’s... read more not Uber modern but lots of beautiful detail touches in paintings & ornaments make it feel a welcoming & interesting place to stay. Approx 10-15 min walk to Fistral or 10mins into Town. Would certainly stay again and love to Jackie, fab to meet you. Xx

  We had a great girls weekend trip to Newquay, and Smarties was a great place to stay. It is neat, tidy, bright and airy, and ideally located within walking distance... read more of everything there is to see- the beach, High St, pubs and cafes. We also had a sea view which was perfect.
Nice touch of banana bread and beers on arrival. We will be back! Thanks for a great stay

  Well the stag did very well on his doo in Newquay. Part of that was the accommodation. All you need. For groups. Tidy. Accommodating and very pleasant and friendly. Breakfast... read more at a small supplement. Covers a decent enough English brekky.

  Stayed here for bank holiday weekend for one of the boys’ stag do. Great weekend and a fantastic place for a group to stay, or somewhere to bring a partner... read more for a break. 5 Stars! Can’t wait to come back

  Everything at this place is perfect.... the minute we got there we were treated by a super friendly face and 2 beautiful dogs and cat! And what a lovely touch... read more having banana cake and a beer upon arrival! The guest house is cosy, clean and the beds are comfy 🙂 if I stay in Newquay again, I’ll definitely come back! More

  For the last 8 years our group of friends have been all over for stag do’s and not once have we come across a place like this.

Beer... read more and cake on arrival, everything worked, cheapest cooked breakfast in town, tidy rooms, great host, 5 minute walk from bars and 10 minutes from possibly the best beach in UK.

Seriously underpriced. Cheaper to stay on holiday than run a household. We’ll be returning!

  I came here as a part of a 10-man group for a friend's stag do and was really impressed with Smarties Surf Lodge. We had a 6-man room and 4-man... read more room, both rooms with bunk beds. I've stayed in places before for group bookings and not always had the best experience, but this was not the case here. Despite being in bunk beds, the mattresses were great and we all slept well. The en suite shower is amazing, it had one of those waterfall overhead showers, loved it. The rooms were very clean with teas and coffees etc. There was wardrobe space and drawers which is handy when sharing a room with a few people. An iron and iron board was provided in the front room of the hotel and there were actual irons provided rather than daft travel irons you sometimes get elsewhere.
The owner Jackie was fantastic, very friendly and helpful. As soon as we turned up, she had a cold bottle of beer for us and home made banana bread, which was much appreciated. We booked in for a breakfast for the first morning too, which only cost £5 and certainly did the job to set us up for day. Jackie was great for recommending bars, things to do etc and also offered us certain deal such as pizza and a beer for a discounted price and she was just very welcoming and chilled out in a good way.
The location of the lodge is great, couple of minutes from the town and only 5-10 minutes walk to the beach, which is one of, if not the best, beaches in the UK and better than many abroad.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would go back again even if it wasn't part of a large group.

  Very clean, well organised and friendly. Comfortable beds and good showers & washrooms. Easy 5 minute walk into town centre/beach... great breakfast and free welcome beer on arrival.... read more Would definitely recommend, especially for groups

  Having wanted a stag do on the beach for a more refined group of lads, I was looking for somewhere pleasant yet would still cater for a weekend of stag... read more related activities.
Smarties did not disappoint!
Jackie is a lovely lady, excellent breakfast chef...

Rooms are tidy and clean, perfect for what you need and very reasonable rates.

Would be happy to recommend
Thanks Jackie for an enjoyable stay

  We were booked in for a stag weekend and I expected pretty ropey accommodation. I was however very wrong; Jackie the owner met us on arrival, gave us... read more a beer and told us about where to go & what to do etc. The rooms are nice and the location is great for the pubs. Nice breakfasts and I think we were fairly well behaved & got our bond back at the end. Thank you Jackie x x
