The Great Western in Newquay is set to undergo a major refurbishment, with owner St Austell Brewery planning a phased upgrade of the historic clifftop pub and hotel from 2026.
The building, which overlooks Great Western Beach, has been part of the town’s seafront for almost 150 years.
St Austell Brewery said the refurbishment is intended to modernise accommodation and communal spaces while preserving the character of one of Newquay’s “best-known” landmarks.
Work will be carried out in three phases, beginning with the Trenarren Wing, which includes 26 bedrooms across three floors.
Around 16 rooms have sea views, including a family room and seven dog-friendly rooms. The first phase is due to begin this month and is expected to be completed by late summer.
The refurbished rooms will feature updated interiors inspired by the building’s coastal setting, using neutral tones, blues and Art Deco details that reference the pub’s heritage.
Later phases, expected to be completed over the following two years, will focus on further bedroom upgrades as well as improvements to the bar and shared areas.
St Austell Brewery said the aim is to enhance the offer for overnight guests while maintaining the Great Western’s role as a local pub.
The project is the fifth major refurbishment across St Austell Brewery’s managed estate of 45 pubs in the past two years, reflecting ongoing investment across the South West.
First opened in 1879, the Great Western was designed by Cornish architect Silvanus Trevail and is Newquay’s oldest purpose-built hotel.
The building now comprises 66 bedrooms, alongside a restaurant, sun terrace and bar, and has hosted visitors ranging from holidaymakers to members of the royal family, including the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, in 1926.
Andrew Turner, chief operating officer at St Austell Brewery, said: “The refurbishment of the Great Western is about creating a warm, welcoming space that respects the pub’s history while improving its bedrooms and communal areas for guests of all generations.”
