Guests say
The Perranporth Premier Lodge in Newquay offers a scenic location with friendly staff and good facilities. While some guests have had positive experiences, enjoying the lodge's amenities and the beautiful surroundings, others have noted areas for improvement, particularly in cleanliness and maintenance.
Cleanliness is a significant concern, with multiple reviews mentioning unclean conditions, such as stained carpets, dirty hot tubs, and presence of ants. The need for a deep clean and better upkeep is consistently highlighted.
The location is praised for its beauty and proximity to Newquay centre, with convenient bus access. The park setting is described as lovely, contributing to a positive experience.
Comfort receives mixed feedback. Some guests found the lodges spacious and adequate, but others reported uncomfortable beds, dated decor, and a lack of warmth due to maintenance issues.
Facilities and maintenance are areas of concern, with reports of broken hot tubs, low water pressure, and electrical issues. The need for repairs and better maintenance is evident, although some facilities like the bar are appreciated.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property management, therefore this category cannot be scored.

Review of Stay: 21/11/25–24/11/25We stayed here for a long weekend and, unfortunately, the experience wasn’t what we hoped for. Check-in itself was smooth, but things went downhill once we arrived at the van. There was a very strong, unpleasant smell inside that’s hard to even describe. The carpets and walls had visible marks, and the curtains were also stained, which didn’t give a great first impression.We had called a few days before our stay to ask about entertainment on the park and were told there would be evening entertainment. However, once we arrived, there was no entertainment at all. When we went into the lounge and asked if they could put the football on, we were told they had it available but wouldn’t put it on—even though we were the only people in the lounge at the time.The on-site shop did exist, but it was very minimally stocked, with only basic items like biscuits and bin bags.By the end of our stay, several of us became unwell. We can’t say for certain where it came from, but it did feel like more than a coincidence given the overall lack of cleanliness in the van. We also noticed small bites on our bodies after leaving, which was worrying.Overall, the stay was disappointing, and we wouldn’t return based on this experience.

The accommodation was basic and needed a good clean. There were dead flies on the window sills and the blinds.Very basic. Hot tub was cold.We had 3 showers as it was a 4 bed but could only use one at once as the water pressure dropped and went cold so seemed pointless having so many.

Would have been a 5 star, but hot tub broke, it was quickly fixed tbf. Could have been cleaner in bedrooms. Stuff under beds from previous. Like I said we will be back.
