Can anyone recommend a bike friendly, i.e secure parking, B&B or hostel in Newquay, ideally close to Fistral beach ? Popping down there in about 3 weeks. Surfs up dudes ( hopefully ! )

Regards

No real direct help but have a look on booking.com and also there are apps available, I find it most useful when looking for a room for the night.

Yeah, I do use them when looking to book somewhere however it's the first time I've used the bike to go away and was thinking you can't beat recommendation when it comes to being bike friendly. Cheers for your input though, I guess il just call before booking and check arrangements ...

All I can do is recommend that you call them before booking to see if they can offer you secure parking.
Prepare to be disappointed , I can tell you from personal experience.
A few places would let me park my bike closer to the building or in view of their CCTV.
I always take my disc-lock with me when I go touring.

Matt's surf lodge. There are a couple of others down there which look a little soulless.

For a burger, you gotta try the pork burgers down at the Bank Street Bar & Grill. The pork burgers with cheese are out of this world. I'd rather eat there than any of the restaurants in town.

How's your surfing? Do you know Newquay?

And how do you get your board on your bike...? Confused

Matts surf lodge is one of the places I'm looking at and will probably try and book on Friday, regards my surfing I'm at the stage where I can just about stand up lol, I've been to Newquay a few times now, love the place, not tried the burger place you mention but will deffo look that up when down there. I will hire when there, should get a good deal out of season and regards parking the bike somewhere safe, I'm fire service and my mates old bill so were going to try blag leaving the bikes at one of the stations if not to far from digs/beach, well that's the plan Wink
Cheers

You have two bikes that can be chained together? And at the local copshop / firestation? That's pretty good.

Hope you have a fantastic time.

Actually, I was imagining you more like this... https://twofiftymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Surf-board-sidecar.jpg

Managed to gets Matts Surf Lodge for £17:50 each for the night as well Very Happy just hope the weather behaves now !
