Brilliant. Love the stories. I do admire the work you guys put in to dig out the history and the little gold nuggets of information. Love your walking trails. Love your cheap days out in Cornwall series and love your history walks. Whatever you are doing just keep doing it.
Worked on the building of the original swimming pool at the Headland Hotel, back around 1979 or so. One day myself and a work colleague were caught not working terribly hard and made to clean the pigeon poop out of the centre of the vaulted roof of the hotel! We had to climb out, with no protective clothing, and scoop up buckets full of the stuff! It was back before health and safety rules! There were some very interesting things happened there, with spooky events, but I loved working there. Only came to an end because I had a motorcycle accident which injured my leg.
Loved the video especially the Victoria Hotel. In the early 1990s, when my daughter was around 7 or 8 she was fascinated by the entrance to the Victoria Hotel lift from the beach. She even went into the tunnel, called the lift, and was met by a well dressed lift operator in a suit and bow tie. She immediately ran away. What a shame it has gone into disrepair and can no longer be accessed.
Very interesting to see the historic hotels in Newquay! Thank you. Very enjoyable and nice to see a large beach and hearing that The Beatles were there!
Oh, so interesting you two! Sent this onto my daughter...big Beatles fan! Three wonderful old hotels...now all you need to do is stay in each one of them and give us a review! Love the way you are mixing it up these days with stories and old books to follow with history of places. The more nostalgia the better! x J x
A lovely concept for a video and the sort of video that is your forte , the elegance of all three hotels is to be admired with their Victorian interiors and you can imagine the liveried staff in attendance back then too. We did like your pictures advertising the hotels with some stand out features, such as hot and cold running water we also spotted their telephone numbers back then with just three digits, we loved it well done,,,,,,,,Brian&Jane
Yes, love the nostalgic videos! As a visitor, the history of Cornwall gives your land even greater significance, interest, meaning, depth: all that. You let us see into a wonderful Cornwall... That is more than just it's beautiful coastline. Thanks for all you do to make these videos special.😊
More like this please. Spent most of my holidays in Cornwall, in and around Newquay in particular. My parents honeymooned in Newquay back in 1957 and fell in love with it, so most childhood holidays were there and I carried on as an adult to go to Cornwall. Really enjoyed looking at the history and hearing your stories of these hotels.
Lol, typo there, have corrected it now. I know back in the 70's and 80's it felt like you were miles from anywhere, no big supermarkets or familiar shops at all. The water tasted different, every thing tasted different.
Sorry, it was obvious you meant 1957 but I used to be a printer in my younger days and I'm still a real fuss pot on printing errors! God bless you. @@Sailingladybird
Love this video being a Newquay girl, I used to work as a chambermaid at the Victoria hotel my brother was the night porter he used to think it was funny to press the button for the lift to go down to the beach when I'd get in the lift to go up 😂, my brother still works there he's like part of the furniture
Excellent. I learnt so much about the hotels featured and kept on interrupting my wife with, "Did you know this about the Headland/Atlantic/Victoria?" Greetings from Bodmin Moor - the bit that tourists rarely visit! 🤓
I cant tell you guys how much I love your videos popping up first thing on a friday. I have a nice cup of coffee and some breakfast while I watch. Starts my weekend weekender off proper!
Was at the Atlantic Hotel a couple of years ago when the in laws stayed there. A very strange place. No atmosphere at all. They paid a crazy £300 for one night in a basic sea view room. I grew up just outside Newquay and as a young child used to clamber over the huers hut. Oh yes, Tall Trees was the best club in Newquay in the 80s. All Newquay hotels had a resident band/orchestra up until the early 80s.
Amazing video! The beaches in Newquay are really magnificent. And I loved the hotel tours. In 2012 I spent 4 nights at the Hotel Victoria during a group holiday, walking and bicycling in Cornwall. I remember Hotel Victoria as a bit more dated at the time, and I was actually less than impressed by the food so we also had dinner at other restaurants. But they have probably refurbished it now, because it looked impressive and fresh in the video. I sadly didn't know about the lift at the time. I love hidden gems like that🤩 Later I have read that The Beatles' cameramen, technicians and office staff were accommodated in this hotel in 1967. Thank you for a really entertaining and educational video. Torunn 🥰
I've recently dropped on to your informative & entertaining videos. Thank you for them. I do hope that your presentations give you reasonable TH-cam reward for your time & energy that you put into them. It will take me some while to back track, as each one that I've viewed has brought back so many memories. I still have family in several parts of Cornwall. Once again, thank you.
Went to the Headland Hotel about three weeks ago & mentioned to the barman that the last time I had been there overnight was Sept 11th 2001. Expecting a comment about the events of that day he said, "I wasn't even born then" - made me feel old! Also went to see the marble gents which were quite spectacular like the ones in the Philharmonic pub in Liverpool. Sadly they are closed, in quite a state & used as the male staff room.
Brilliant video - Certainly a trip down memory lane - I still have lots of affection for the Atlantic it has always been the ugly duckling on the outside but go inside & you will find it transforms into a beautiful Swan. The Headland has always been the ‘opulent’ Hotel and the Victoria was always the Hotel that in the 60’s felt it was Elegant, Grand, & as a mere mortal ‘you knew you couldn’t afford it so you admired it from afar. Loved the advertising book & the tales about the building of the Headland, the Beatles at the Atlantic and the wealthy at the Victoria. You both do these video’s so very well - You bring the past to life worts and all -ha ha!! You can’t alter History no one should ever try - again Very well done.
I swear I saw something move at the end of that tunnel as you were zooming in! Creepy! Hopefully it was just my imagination! We're going to Newquay for our honeymoon next year. We will be paying all these hotels a visit. Thank you for another great video, hopefully from your knowledge, I can avoid getting lost between Newquay's seven beaches!
I remember staying at the atlantic Hotel in 1989 it looks nicer now more opulent. Loved this vlog havent been to Cornwall for a few years. Many happy childhood memories
The Atlantic was impressive! The floors were stunning, the tiles had little sparkly bits that caught the light and the silks restaurant looked lovely! Sarah :)
More lol. Been a few times to Newquay and never seen the bottom of the lift tunnel on the beach. You know what we will be seeing next visit. The lookout round house we've visited many times. We parked in the public car park many years ago and my wife hot out the car and within 10 seconds a seagul dumped its load onto my wife she was covered, we got back into the car and went back to little Petherick fir her to clean up lol. Things we remember eh...😅😅😅😅 Love watching your videos, we stop in Padstow many times each year right on the canal trail in a fabulous bungalow. I kayak the estuary all the time have a few video on my you tube page. Kev the Brinklow kayaker. Nothing edited like your videos...😊 Maybe we'll see you around Cornwall one day. Kev❤
Fab video ~ so love a traditional Victorian hotel, and would love to see more videos of hidden Newquay. Still waiting for a knight in shining armour to whisk me off to the Headland Hotel for some 5 star pampering (could be a long wait 🙂).
Another fascinating tour! Love the old photos! The Witches was a fun movie, and doesn't everyone want Rowan Atkinson as their hotel manager, lol? The interiors are certainly elegant. It was a different world, when ballrooms with live orchestras were all the rage. Here in California, many grand hotels of that era had to be pulled down due to earthquake damage. Fortunately, our Hotel Del Coronado (opened in 1888), has been maintained and remodeled over the years. It was the inspiration for the novel Somewhere in Time (though the movie with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve was filmed at a hotel in Michigan). There are tales of haunted rooms, and the hotel takes every advantage of a visit by Edward, Prince of Wales, in 1920. There are rumors he met Wallis Simpson there. You both were brave to investigate that tunnel! The stories about the Beatles (and the photos!!) were great. Loved hearing about Andrew's Mum! :)
Ooo! Somewhere in Time - that rings a bell. Did it use rhapsody on a theme of Paganini? I think I was learning piano a the time and my Mum found a very simple version fot me to try! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Yes, you are correct! My young friends and I all worshiped Jane Seymour, and how elegant she looked in that film (1980). I recently found a copy of the book (original title 'Bid Time Return'), by Richard Matheson. Having visited the Hotel Del Coronado many times over the years, I was surprised to see how much the hotel factored into the story. :)
I stayed there with my husband two years ago The same floor of the model of the hotel I think it was the first floor round the corner there’s a tiny little door and that was our room we overlooked extractors and machinery of some sort but when you looked up you could see the sky it must’ve been a storage room but after that we went and stayed. at the house on the rock with the drawbridge in Newquay that was so lovely
the great western hotel(1879) is the oldest remaining victorian hotel in newquay built many years before the headland and atlantic hotel, also the atlantic hotel was built by sylvanus trevail in 1892 which is why the original hotel looked similar to the headland as it was built first, he also built the carbis bay hotel in st ives, camelot castle hotel in tintagel and another on the lizard.
Wow.. great information as usual guys👌. I really didn't know about the Beatles visit... amazing 😀. I was only just born then though 😜. How amazing would that lift have been 😍. I do remember Tall Trees, Berties and Sailors in my youth Sarah... the less said the better eh 😂. Such unique buildings... we should be proud of them 💖. Really enjoyable episode again 👏🤗😘
@@angelacornelius4955 that’s what bikes were for,and what a bike ride along those cliffs and coastal paths on the Atlantic coast. We’d come down from London and just plot up for two weeks,every day in the ocean. It’s why I now live here. London has fallen im afraid.
Is St Brannocks hotel in the guide? Wwe used to take the kids on holiday, they had a coach that used to pivk up in the Midlands, 80s 90s.the hotel was knocked down a few years ago.
Stayed at The Headland a few times. i know the area very well The Atlantic is a lovely hotel also to stay in , possible on average, superior to the Headland TheCarrnmarth Hotel is also quite ni e but maybe a little dated now. I'm not sure if it's called Oceanside now Haha Berties Talltrees and Sailors Arms , blast from the past New subscriber, could you do a walk down the Gannel and comment pn the old ship Ada and the Fern Pit and history of the Northey family and the two rowing boats that used to trundle across the river in times past , one at the mouth inlet and the one at second bridge by the old Trethellan Farm Your walkabout brought back some happy memeorys for me visiting on holiday staying with my work also over the past 45 years
They don't make 'em like that anymore, do they. The Headland has appeared in a couple of tv travelogues in the past few years, so is more well known, but the other two,wow!! Might be able to afford to stay in one of them if I win the lottery.🤣
We stayed at the Headland a couple of years ago. We had booked a room for our wedding anniversary before covid and then we actually had the stay 'after' covid. The new prices would of been out of our reach but they more or less honoured the original price and gave us a free upgrade to a beautiful, well like a suite! Fantastic stay. I like to watch your videos of Cornwall. The Atlantic at Newquay was nice for an afternoon scone. Dont know if its still about. Also Carbis Bay Hotel would be interesting to look around. Years ago we stayed at the Headland and was upgraded for free and was told over the coridor from our room was the room the Princes stayed in ie Queen Eliz IIs Dad maybe .............. meant to be some ghosts too. One in the ladies cloakroom. o'er
A Brilliant video of the most Opulent Hotels in Newquay, the amount of research you must do is phenomenal, the stories behind The ‘Beatles’ and ‘Jack Nicholson’ sending his leading lady roses, would never have come to light if it wasn’t for your genius for rooting out history and interesting topics like you both do and Andrews sharp wit is always entertaining, the nearest we ever came to staying at a grand hotel was in ‘Kingussie’ in Scotland called ‘The Duke of Gordon’ which was used as a base for filming the tv. series ‘Monarch of the Glen’ that was an exiting time, and a fabulous series I’ve just started watching again after twenty odd years ago, thanks 🙏 again Sarah & Andrew for a lovely edit 🤗
Anjelica Husten was Jack Nicholson's longest lasting relationship....so the flowers worked!! Looked to me as if the top floor had been removed and a flat roof applied at the Atlantic....Maybe just the angle though. Looks totally non-inviting from the outside....inside - Wow!
Agree about the roof on the Atlantic, squared off! Vlogging is not a perfect science! Whatever they did makes it less attractive than it’s Victorian predecessor! Sarah :)
Newquay strikes me as being a bit of a run-down dump... even back in the early 70's, pubs like the Sailors were always scenes of fights. it must have been very different in Victorian times
It’s cleaned up it’s act now. In the late 1990s’ish they had huge problems with underage drinking. After sitting GCSEs, kids would come down with a boot full of booze, courtesy of Mum and Dad. Unfortunately some didn’t make it home, and something had to be done. Still a magnet for stag and hen parties though! Out of season it’s a pleasant place to wander around. Sarah :)
Brilliant. Love the stories. I do admire the work you guys put in to dig out the history and the little gold nuggets of information.
Love your walking trails. Love your cheap days out in Cornwall series and love your history walks.

Looked to me as if the top floor had been removed and a flat roof applied at the Atlantic....Maybe just the angle though. Looks totally non-inviting from the outside....inside - Wow!
Agree about the roof on the Atlantic, squared off! Vlogging is not a perfect science! Whatever they did makes it less attractive than it’s Victorian predecessor! Sarah :)
could we do building historic videos?

On TH-cam, there is a short video of a fire at The Atlantic Hotel. Search Hotel Fire in Newquay.
I went to Newquay once, once was enough, far too crowded with tourists.
Yes, the summer is very busy, most roads in and out of Newquay become car parks! Sarah :)
Most of Cornwall was like that.
Is the tunnel haunted?
That hotel is for sale
More of the same please
Newquay strikes me as being a bit of a run-down dump... even back in the early 70's, pubs like the Sailors were always scenes of fights.
it must have been very different in Victorian times
It’s cleaned up it’s act now. In the late 1990s’ish they had huge problems with underage drinking. After sitting GCSEs, kids would come down with a boot full of booze, courtesy of Mum and Dad. Unfortunately some didn’t make it home, and something had to be done. Still a magnet for stag and hen parties though! Out of season it’s a pleasant place to wander around. Sarah :)
pleased to hear it Sarah. We used to stay in Crantock in the 70's....better vibe@@CornishWalkingTrails
Some one told me 540 hotels full of migran.ts in uk
