Is it worth visiting VICTORIAN Hotels in Newquay, Cornwall A NOSTALGIC look

2023-10-06に共有
A NOSTALGIC look at VICTORIAN Hotels in Newquay, an iconic British seaside resort.

In this week’s video we take a nostalgic walk through Newquay to explore the grand Victorian hotels in this Cornish seaside resort. Our guide is a Tourist handbook to Newquay published in 1932, we look at how things were and how they look today.

In true CWT tradition we have some wonderful stories about these beautiful hotels, including the race to be first, riots and arson, the Beatles visit in 1967, and a very unique lift.

The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!

Unfortunately we cannot answer comments coming in more than a week after the publishing date of the video.

Frequently asked questions:
Do we do meet ups?
We regularly receive requests to meet up from viewers and subscribers, but unfortunately we do not have availability to be able to do this.

The channel is a very time consuming hobby, fitted around our employment and family commitments. Setting aside time for meet ups, means that we are not able to film and edit our weekly videos that you love to watch.

If you happen to bump into us while out and about, we will be more than happy to have a quick chat!

What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII

How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the book titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.

Best time of year to visit Cornwall?
We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.

What is your dog’s name?
Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.

    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.
  • 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!
  • Fantastic video, great stories, more of the same would be great. Thank you Bob
  • Loved the tour of the hotels and the history behind them. Beautiful interiors. More nostalgic videos, please😂😊
  • 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.😊
  • @judybee
    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
  • We are travelling to the UK from NZ to visit our son and plan on staying in Newquay while we trace family heritage in Devon and Cornwall.
  • 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Brilliant Video ! So much fun, informations and great pictures and details.
  • @Dujfjfo
    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!
  • @annajeram9251
    Really interesting to find out more about these hotels, thank you 🤩

    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.

    That was fun and very interesting, thank you. We couldn't watch it sooner as we've been in Cornwall on holiday and tried a few of your lovely walks.
  • I've recently dropped on to your informative & entertaining videos. Thank you for them. I do hope that your presentations give you reasonable YouTube 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.
  • @giuliofish
    More! (of anything -- you two are lots of fun).
  • 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.
  • What a fantastic video! Loved learning all about the history of the hotels.....more please😊 you guys do an amazing job x
