Just back from a 5-night stay at Elemental! Super helpful hosts sorted us with surf gear and fresh towels. Top-notch access to Fistral beach. Only downside?

The recently renovated setup provides a fresh look, which shows promise for future stays. The location is ideal for surf enthusiasts, with convenient access to nearby beaches.

The double room was poorly maintained—the sink had sharp cracks, the ceiling extractor was filthy, and shower mold was present. Confusing room descriptions led to disappointment. a 'twin economy room' featured a bunk bed instead of separate single beds. Parking spaces were limited, requiring advance bookings. Showers fluctuated between freezing and boiling, and the absence of basic toiletries was noted.

A fair review – pros and cons

Fantastic hosts who truly care about your comfort. Great location near breathtaking beaches and restaurants, along with affordable surf hire options.

Breakfast selection felt a bit basic,, but it did the job.

The room was really noisy but had comfy mattresses for a good sleep.

The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach and a supermarket right next door. Complimentary warm bread with breakfast was a delightful touch, setting the tone for a great start each day. the room felt a bit cramped for our family, and the shared bathrooms were inconvenient at night. It would be beneficial for the lodge to address some of the maintenance issues, as the noise from the street made it challenging to get a good night's sleep.

It was just a fitting option for a city break in Newquay with good value. The location was great, just steps from the beach, which made our day trips easy. Make sure to prebook parking as there are very few spots available.

we absolutely loved the location! just a short walk to the beach and town, with a supermarket right next door. the complimentary breakfast every morning was a nice touch, and the free wetsuit hire is a big bonus! the staff were super friendly, always taking time to chat with us and give awesome recommendations for food. we felt like part of a big family there, everyone was so nice!

the room we had was a bit cramped for our family, and the shared bathrooms were a little inconvenient, especially at night.

I had a delightful stay at Elemental Surf Lodge. The warmth and hospitality from Dan and Anthony truly stood out. The location was perfect, a stone's throw from the beach and the charming town. The continental breakfast was a lovely surprise, setting the tone for each day.

No significant negatives.

Great stay with awesome staff!

We had a solid time! The staff were super friendly and gave us some cool tips for places to eat around town. The picnic area was perfect for chilling after a surf. Just wish the noise from the street wasn’t so loud at night.
