Amy and John
Geckos Rest is a three story Victorian style town house. It has been run as a Bed and Breakfast for at least seventy years. Since moving in we have carried out lots of upgrades including the installation electric vehicle (EV) chargers and making all the rooms’ en-suite. We have also worked hard and improved the rooms to achieve a four star silver rating from the AA / Visit England.
We (Amy and John) love running Geckos Rest. However on a quiet afternoon you may find us walking or running along the coastal paths, surfing at Great Western or Fistral beach. Amy also enjoys martial arts currently trains Judo and Brazilian Jujitsu.
Newquay is a wonderful town, offering coastal walks, surfing and sandy beaches. Geckos rest is in walking distance of the town and beaches. The town has many varied restaurants and an interesting high street including gift, surf, pasty and cake shops to name a few.
