This is as good a 3 star B&B as you will find anywhere, and could beat a few 4 star I've stayed in as well. The bedrooms are generously sized, well furnished, and spotless; ours had a very large bathroom with a roomy shower. Their breakfast was very good quality fare, and nicely presented. The location is perfect within Porth,... More

Very nice place and is exactly what we were expecting from the website. The breakfast was good and the owners were very nice and friendly; made us feel very much at home. Dick, is very keen on surfing and willing to share his experience and knowledge; gave us loads of advice and information. Will definitely visit again!

Another treat on our weeks walk along the South West Coastal Path. The room and bathroom were large with a seating area to look over the bay at Porth. Our walking gear was taken care of and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely restful night and breakfast was excellent.

The guesthouse is a stone's throw from porth beach, ideal for kids and family's, the walk into Newquay is about 1 mile, buses run... More

This is the second time we have stayed at the Alex. There is no denying that the location is lovely, but the rooms are now looking shabby and very very 1980's in terms of the furnishings and decor. The double room my husband and I have occupied both times has the shower situated in the room itself which makes it... More
