Winter stays in Newquay
Find your perfect autumn or winter break
Autumn and winter might be quieter seasons in terms of footfall, but the crashing Atlantic waves make the coast a thrilling place to visit year-round. Whether you want to cosy up in a family-run B&B, unwind with a spa break, or breathe in the fresh sea air from your hotel balcony, Newquay has plenty of accommodation options to inspire you.
It’s also worth noting that many accommodation providers offer special rates in the off-season and can have more availability than in the busy summer months. From storm-watching breaks to spending Christmas in Cornwall, see what’s on offer this autumn and winter.
