About The Glendeveor Accommodation in Newquay Cornwall

 

The Glendeveor Accommodation in Newquay

The Glendeveor started off as two semi detached properties back in the 1920's, during the 1960's it was converted into one property trading as a guest house, since then it has had several owners and the accommodation has been increased over many years with the last addition of 4 new bedrooms bringing the total up to 34.

There is a sun lounge and patio on the coastal side of the property, for those clients who might prefer to stay in the grounds, or for those returning from a day out to enjoy the last rays of sunshine before their evening meal.

And for those who do venture out on foot or by car, the town centre is five minutes walk away and the beaches are about ten minutes, depending on where you want to go. The staff will be only too pleased to give you directions to the varied beaches around Newquay and the local attractions, and there are pamphlets available from reception for those who wish to go further a field.

The Glendeveor accommodation in Newquay has ample parking for the use of its clients. The car park is in a secure location behind the property and is only accessible within view of the front desk. We are also within five minutes of the local coach park, and of course coaches can park immediately outside to allow their passengers and luggage to embark.

The proprietors John and Debbie are keen to do their bit for the environment. They use eco-friendly energy saving light bulbs wherever possible and now recycles up to 80% of its waste material, such as bottles, paper and plastic, through the local County Council initiatives and are keen to extend this into new area's when possible.

John and Debbie purchased the property in August 2005. Both originate from Hayle (John moved to Cornwall from London when he was four years old). They have a large family - six children between them, although only two of the lads are still living with them.

Although together they have nearly 10 years experience running hotels for a large hotel chain, this is their first venture together as owners, and have already over come many challenged left by their predecessors and are looking forward to the future.

photo of Alan A few of our staff have been with The Glendeveor for a number of years and we are delighted they have all chosen to stay on.

Alan our assisstant manager has been at The Glendeveor for twelve years or more and is known to many guests as our very own Jethro, with his humour and tales of Cornwall. Not only is he a geriatric Tom Cruise (sorry Alan) on the cocktail shaker but his Cornish Bingo is legendary. You may think you don't like bingo, but believe me, this is nothing like you will have ever played before and the chances are you won't be able to play it for laughing! Alan is also responsible for the redecoration and up keep of the accommodation when the property is closed after New Year for a month.


photo of MattMatt our chef joined The Glendeveor in 2004. Most of the food he prepares is made fresh each day including all the mouth watering desserts. (When Oliver stayed here he was too full to ask for more!)

photo of PaulPaul our head waiter joined us at the begining during 2010 and has proved himselfs to be asset to us. He is always smiling and bubbly and has already made quite a mark on the guests as they are pleased to see a happy face greeting them when they go in for their meals.

Our weekly entertainment is a varied mix. Matt Sheppard who started with us during 2008 has placed himself as a firm favourite with old and new guests. His Elvis & Buddy Holly tributes along with his 50's and 60's music has gone down extremely well with lots of high praise from guests.

Freddy Zapp is almost as crazy as Alan the barman (or is that the other way around?) Get ready for a fun filled evening with his Showwaddywaddy Show when it's his turn to entertain.

By popular request, Alan has come from behind the bar and stepped into the lime light to entertain you, it will certainly be a night you wont forget in a hurry, no matter how much you try!!

 

We have Krissie who is a vocalist as well as a few others joining us during 2012 to fill any remaining spaces to ensure a fun fill entertainment programme.

Finally Robbie who is from Cornwall is one of the best guitarist on the circuit in our neck of the woods and we are delighted he has again decided to play at our establishment for your pleasure.
