A continental breakfast is available daily at St Christopher's Newquay and the Belushi’s Bar offers guests a 25% discount on food, as well as a state of the art sound system and regular live music nights. Location is perfect and room was pretty clean. Best best view one could possibly get. Was booked in room no 12 and the beach view is unreal!! Staff was really polite and checkin was smooth. Lockers are provided at a small cost if arriving early. Overall perfect place to stay without burning a hole in your pocket
