Great Western Hotel, Newquay

You're perched right on Cliff Road where the action happens, and the Great Western pulls in everyone from suits grabbing an after-work pint to families who've been coming here for years. The bar's got that solid pub vibe — real ales on tap, decent wine list, and staff who actually know what they're doing. It's the kind of place where you can nurse a quiet drink or get caught up in the buzz of a Friday night, depending on what you're after. The location alone is worth it; you're basically on the cliffs overlooking Fistral and the rest of the bay.
