Porth is a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of Newquay town centre, but also has the added bonus that it is still close enough for you to get to in just a few minutes by car, or even just a 30 minute walk for the more active person. We are also located just half a mile from Watergate Bay with Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant and the Extreme Sports Academy where you can have many different lessons including surfing.

Here at the Kenton Guesthouse we have a very informal friendly relaxed atmosphere and pride ourselves on making our guests feel at home and welcome, so even if you are travelling alone you can feel completely at ease. We welcome families and provide a children's menu. Our aim is to make your holiday as perfect as possible, as all of our guests who return time after time have found.

Like our restaurant, the bar and sun lounge also look out on the stunning scenery of Whipsiderry beach and Porth island, with deep blue green water and rolling waves. The perfect place to relax and unwind with a drink after a busy day of sight seeing, or maybe just somewhere to sit and gaze at the breathtaking views whilst socialising with other guests.

Newquay, Porth and the surrounding areas are ideally situated and centrally based for exploring Cornwall, with its breath taking coast lines, unspoilt countryside and picturesque fishing villages. As parts of Cornwall are considered to be sub-tropical, it's no wonder that there are an abundance of beautiful gardens, some with fine stately homes to visit, where you will find many tropical plants growing outside in the mild temperate conditions. Not to mention the Eden Project where you can see a fully grown tropical rain forest and Mediterranean garden all growing under the protective cover of huge biomes.

There are plenty of family attractions within easy reach of the hotel with all ages and interests catered for, from museums and castles to fun parks, animal sanctuaries and theme parks to keep everyone happy. With a bus stop also conveniently located directly in front of the Kenton Hotel going to Newquay, Padstow and the Eden Project, you could leave your car behind and let someone else do the driving for the day.

Cornwall is well known for its superb golf courses, mostly set in outstanding locations with stunning sea views and kept to the highest standards, a must for all levels of golfers. Fishing enthusiasts are also well catered for with many well stocked course fishing lakes and streams. There is also good sea fishing from the rocky headlands, beaches or organised fishing trips from the harbour to catch the larger varieties from around the reefs and wrecks. So why wouldn't you choose Cornwall for your holiday when it has such a rich variety of activities on offer?
