Book a Stay

A hostel in Newquay with sea views from most rooms, a sunny terrace above the bay, and two of Cornwall’s best surf beaches within walking distance. Dorms, female-only dorms, and private rooms, so you decide how much space you need. The terrace looks out over Towan Bay. The surf school is on site. Luggage storage, free Wi-Fi, and 24-hour reception mean the practical side of the trip takes care of itself. Belushi’s Bar is downstairs when the day is done.

Welcome

Your First 24 hours in Shepherd’s Bush

Most people come to Newquay and barely scratch the surface. You are staying, which means you get the version of Cornwall that the day-trippers never reach. Here is what the next 24 hours look like from your base on Fore Street.

Check in, drop your bags in luggage storage, connect to free Wi-Fi, and lock your valuables away. Then the rest takes care of itself. Cliff paths, Atlantic surf, eleven beaches. St Christopher’s gives you everything you need to get on with it.

Your Local.
Wherever you’re from. Drinks, live music, good people

Most hostels do not have a bar. Belushi’s Newquay does, and it is the kind of place that makes a stay feel like more than just a place to sleep. Live music, weekly quiz nights, open mic nights, themed events, and sports on the screens. Head outside to the beer garden, beach huts, sea views, and a pizza van, perfect for sunny days.

Experiences

Make the most of your stay

From sunrise to last orders Surf, eat, drink, repeat

Start the morning with the surf school, spend the afternoon watching the sun go down from the seaview terrace, and let Belushi’s take care of the evening. Live music, quiz nights, open mic nights, and themed events every week. Plus a beer garden with beach huts and a pizza van for the sunny days. Everything you need is already here.

Newquay, answered

Everything you need to know before you arrive. From surf lessons to parking, beach distances to booking benefits. Six honest answers to the questions guests ask us most.

Do I need experience to book a surf lesson at St Christopher’s Newquay?

No experience needed. The on-site surf school welcomes complete beginners and improvers alike. Equipment is provided, and being positioned on the cliff top above Towan Beach means you are in the water within minutes of your lesson starting.

What is the best time of year to visit Newquay?

Newquay works year round. Summer brings the warmest weather and the biggest crowds, particularly July and August. Autumn is when serious surfers arrive, the swell picks up and the beaches clear out. Spring offers good weather, quieter streets, and well-priced stays.

How far is St Christopher’s Newquay from the beach?

Towan Beach is a five-minute walk from the hostel on the cliff top. Fistral Beach is ten minutes on foot. With eleven beaches stretching over seven miles of Cornish coastline nearby, you will not run out of options.

Is there parking at St Christopher’s Newquay?

No on-site parking, but Tregunnel Car Park nearby offers long-stay spaces at £6.30 to £7.00 per 24 hours. If you are coming by train, Newquay station is a twelve-minute walk from the hostel.

What is the difference between a dorm and a private room at St Christopher’s?

Dorms are shared rooms (mixed or female-only) with made beds, secure lockers, and either en suite or shared bathroom facilities. Private rooms give you your own space entirely. Double and twin private rooms come with en suite bathrooms and sea views over Towan Bay.

Why should I book direct rather than through a booking site?

When you book direct you get the lowest rate we offer, a free welcome drink on arrival, free cancellation, and 25% off food at Belushi’s for your entire stay. It takes the same amount of time as booking elsewhere and gives you significantly more.
