“The Great Western occupies a striking clifftop location in Newquay, and I think its position elevates it beyond the ordinary. Rooms, particularly those facing the coast, offer beautiful views, and the hotel's dog-friendly options mean you don't have to leave your four-legged friends behind when visiting Cornwall's beaches; I believe its a prime spot for families and pet owners.”
