Major expansion plans for Newquay’s Watergate Bay revealed

A major expansion plan for a hotel in Cornwall could create a new pedestrian gateway to Newquay’s Watergate Bay.

The Watergate Bay Hotel has applied to Cornwall Council to redevelop its own site and the former Tregurrian Hotel on Trevarrian Hill.

Its application features nine new holiday apartments and 12 beach loft suites as well as a new food pavilion.

The pavilion, planned for Watergate Bay Hotel’s XA car parking site, would replace existing containers, allowing food vendors to serve both guests and the public in a single building, BBC News reported.

A dozen beach loft suites would also be located in the car park in a new two-storey building, while a bridge would link the main hotel site to the site.

The Tregurrian site redevelopment would feature nine holiday apartmentsand plans include a swimming pool, gym, studios and treatment rooms and restaurant space.

Three new crossings are proposed at the junction of Trevarrian Hill and Tregurrian Hill roads.
