Treyarnon Bay Youth Hostel in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great option for Al fresco dining - we had great pizza and drinks from the bar - cannot beat the value and views - came on spec after being let down by another establishment

Food was okay - burger and fries. The problem was the price of the drinks. 1 pint of IPA, 1 pint of lager shandy (half of which was lemonade of course) came to over £12.

Needed somewhere for an overnight stay for a business trip and found this place. I haven't used a youth hostel for many years and wow how they've changed, arrived in the dark in the wind and rain but yesterday morning in the daylight.!!!!!!!! What a view. Great location, food, drink, room etc. but the staff are the real asset here but particularly the girl doing the check as she's exactly the sort of person you need after a long day really friendly, bubbly and polite. Will definitely be back.

A great place to have food and drinks overlooking the cliffs and sea. You get fantastic sunsets here. Friendly staff, good food and a great choice of drinks. Stone baked pizzas some nights. Live music regularly. We’ll be back.

We ate here a number of times whilst on holiday, very good food at reasonable price with a great location. Staff were friendly, highly recommend

Loved this place, just back from visiting Treyarnon bay camp site for a week visited most evenings staff really accommodating, food was great, live music, brilliant will revisit.

Popped in after walking the coast path. Terrific takeaway coffee, prepared by cheerful staff. Place looked clean and tidy, would visit again.

Well, a little unfair to rate this place as a restaurant (3/5) but as a place to visit...regularly...has to be 5/5. You don't go here for the best 'foodie' experience, although sizeable portions - it's no Stein/Ainsworth establishment - its a Youth Hostel for goodness sake. But for somewhere to chill (or warm up) and observe the passing clientele, it's perfect. Plenty of 'alternative' characters travelling through against the wonderful Atlantic Backdrop. Like any hospitality business in the coastal regions of Cornwall The Trey Bay Hostel will always struggle finding and retaining regular staff - I have to say that we have never had any issues with the staff - on occasions they are really welcoming and helpful - so a few of the reviews here are being a little unthoughtful. If it's a certain level of service you are after then visit the restaurants mentioned above. We have dined at both but will remain coming here regularly - OK, if it's suddenly closed for an impromptu 'staff meeting' so what, we'll come back next time. Oh and in the summer time, when the sun is shining and the music playing the outside space has just the best vibe. Well done the Tray Bay!

5 Star Place, 5 Star Service. Took my 90 year old Mum who loves the place. Staff are excellent and really friendly. Good food, Fantastic view. 5 Star

Although in a beautiful location, the food and drinks (warm beer ! ) are pretty average to poor for the price Be prepared for a long wait at peak times 1- 1.5 hrs ! The Pizza Offering at the same location is not much better tbh. Pizza cooked in diy ovens and tastes the same. Take some cold takeaway drinks to this location and enjoy the sunset.

Can’t really comment on taste of food as, although it looked delicious, didn’t actually receive my food. We ordered food - a pasty and loaded chips- and waited, and waited. A family on another table told us there was an hour wait for food but as we were only having a snack and not a meal, thought we would be okay. It was also quite quiet as after lunch rush. After an hour we still hadn’t received food. Given there were a few other tables with hungry looking people, partner decided to ask when food was coming. At least another 20 mins. It was now drizzling, and the fact it was nearly teatime, we decided to cancel our order. I recognise that most places are experiencing problems with staff shortages but this place appeared to be well-staffed with people just standing around. The kitchen clearly needs to improve its efficiency as despite the delicious looking food, we won’t be going back!

We booked 4 nights in one of the Glamping Tents which are situated on the grounds of the youth hostel. The tents while a little basic are perfectly functional, we could have done with a little bit of storage and maybe a table inside,just in case it’s wet outside, although you do have the the use of the hostel to prepare and eat your own food, dry wet clothes, buy food to eat in the dining area. The self catering kitchen is brilliant and never felt crowded. The bar area was a really fun place to congregate and meet fellow travelers. The lifeguarded beach was just 2 minutes away. We will definitely be back…sorry The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and happy to go out their way to make life easy for travellers. Thank you team Treyarnon

These place was very nice and quiet for a drink. The staff were very quick to welcome walkers and made sure every one in our friends group was given fresh water in their bottles before we even ordered drinks from the bar. We explained to them we had a bad day and a man at a camp field Mother Ivey was very offensive to us, so we could not stop for water when we liked and walked much farther to this place. Please to the owners. Thank your fantastic wonderful man that runs the bar here. He is kind and wise for so young and he made our day have a little brightness more than just a sunny day

Although this place is very basic as rooms go I still enjoyed staying here It was a bit difficult to find as I was driving a coach which meant I couldn't drive along most of the roads leading to the hostel but once I did find the correct road it was worth the views overlooking the beach. The hostel itself is basic but the staff make up for it and the outside added to the value of the hostel

We visited YHA Treyarnon for tea. I wasn't sure which beer to have so the person serving offered me a taste of the draught beer. It was delicious so I ordered a pint for myself and one for my partner. We also ordered a burger and chips, macaroni cheese and a side of onion rings. It came to less than £30 in all. In our area that it a great price. We sat outside in the lovely beer garden... The food came really quickly and was delicious. The staff were really friendly. It was such a lovely experience. Thank you.

Such a beautiful place to spend your vocation... Beach is just few minute away and the entire area is absolutely beautiful neat and clean. Very kind staff members to help you.

Excellent location overlooking the beach. Lots of seating outside. Good choice of reasonably priced drinks. I drank the local bitter most nights we visited and apart from one visit, found it to be very nice. The draught cider was popular with our group. We only ate there once, but found the food to be tasty and well priced. Kitchen shut at 8.30pm each evening we were there. Limited seating indoors which might be a problem in the height of the holiday season. Tables can’t be booked. The staff worked like troopers. Hat’s off to them. Toilets are outside, nothing posh, but perfectly functional and clean.

We stopped off for a light bite after a walk. We ordered a plate of Nachos to share and were delighted with a huge pile of light crispy nachos with oudles of toppings. We sat in the dining room overlooking the se which was beautiful....

Had great expectations as the online menu looked great but when we got there it was a small limited menu. I had a cheese panini. Must say there was hardly any cheese and didn’t have much taste. Small salad in the box next to it....

I camped for a week in the field next to the YHA and was blessed with good weather but the obvious care and dedication of the staff helped make it a very enjoyable week. There is a strong ethos of tidiness so showers, kitchens etc...

don't be put off because its a hotel, food is lovely, great menu, great price, nice staff and fantastic location .

A cracking value for money cafe with stunning views. The food is excellent pub grub that is served by a lovely team of people

Great little fine just off the beach for food and drink. Well organised in terms of covid safety with a reasonable level of staff. If you are visiting Treyanan Beach or walking one of the beautiful walks it’s a great location for a drink or...

Had a great visit to the YHA , great staff , really attentive to detail , good good, good variety, good value . Would really recommend to all

We stopped in and had a coffee and cake, it’s a special deal. It’s an nice venue and we enjoyed the drink and snack. It’s well worth a visit

Fantastic hostel in an amazing location. A really friendly well run hostel with efficient and helpful staff. The breakfast system works well and the food menu is quite varied and good value. The outside bar area is excellent and runs smoothly. A great place to...

Fantastic lunchtime meal. Family lunchtime visit, I had the fish special and two others shared a pizza. The food was wonderful. Well cooked and really enjoyable. Served outside due to covid restrictions, which wasn't an issue as it was a warm day. Served in nice...

The colleagues working here were run off their feet but all so nice and friendly. We had beers on one occasion overlooking the bay and returned one evening for the best hot chocolate I have had in a long time. Well Done YHA colleagues!

Good food and a good price. The view is amazing- and the service is quick and easy even in this unsure (COVID) times. The staff are always present and attentive. The coffee is also the best in the bay to be honest with you. Don’t...

Stayed in a private room for 1 night, it was clean and comfortable for a short stay. The cafe operates a takeaway service/ outside seating option from 8am to 8pm, which for a pizza and chips in a box is not cheap. Alcohol is also...

This was a great find, only used it for takeaways, but the pizzas are amazing and they serve a good selection of booze, made for a great evening sitting on the beach watching a beautiful sunset

We had a great stay. The youth hostel is in an amazing location, on some beautiful cliffs which you can walk along. The beach is 5 minutes walk. They also serve food and drinks until 8. We stayed in the bell tent which was very...

After a lovely coastal walk from Porthcothan this cafe is a welcome stop for a hot drink or alcoholic beverage. Along with cake, warm food or snacks. Lovely position and well worth a stop on your walk around such a beautiful location.

This is a youth hostel not the Ritz. Fab location and great facilities for a youth hostel. We love it. Anyone that wants posh go elsewhere. Please keep it just as it is!

A great place, with a fantastic view. What else can I say? It’s beautiful, so peaceful and you need to visit

Booked in advance on their website; 10% off as a YHA member. From facilities, friendly staff down to excellent Breakfast, packed lunch for walking and a 2 course evening meal pre-booked at 10% off as well and the quality was excellent; just as it was in April when I was so impressed I booked this trip whilst I was still there! Plus it’s a Charity; you get the option when you join to become a company member; you get to vote on YHA decisions - I am a company member but it is not paid in anyway - the above is accurate, contains my honest opinion and you get to help YHA in it’s charitable work.

A nice setting but some of the worst food and drink i have ever had. My soy latte had lumps in it and the sea food platter was battered mush and two spinach leaves.

Just off the coastal path, perched above Treyarnon Bay. Friendly staff, speedy service. Really good home-cooked feel food. Lovely coffee & cake stop. Also serve Tarquin's gin & Skinner's beer - nice!!

Laid-back and super friendly, this has great seating outdoors overlooking the wonderful beach. Portions were a bit small but coffee and cake is a must.

First of all the nachos were burnt however we decided not to complain and reluctantly ate the plastic like food! Secondly, the side portions were a joke! The side salad was 1 mouthful as well as having about 10 chips which were cold by the way! Thirdly, the jacket potatoes were lobbed in the microwave with no care and came out undercooked and just overall disgusting! And finally I would not recommend this place to anyone! Had a lovely day and this just ruined our experience!

Really nice food and friendly staff. Great value meal and plenty nt of seats inside and out with a view of the bay.

Amazing venue, fantastic friendly staff and live music. But how do you burn nachos twice Was such a shame

We visited for a quick lunch and the menu was varied. The kids meals were great and the cod gougons were the biggest hit. My husband had the tempura lemon sole burger and thought it was delicious and I had a jacket potato. It was reasonably priced and arrived very quickly. Only downside is the queues started to get quite long by the time we were leaving so didn't really want to wait again for desserts or ice creams. The staff were friendly though and it was clean throughout. Toilets were outside for cafe customers in these small and narrow cubicles, which was an interesting task with 2 small people!

The food is cooked fresh and well. The Pizza I had was very nice, especially as I had extra chillis on it!

Sunday is our adventure day and we try and find a walk with a beach cafe or just take a picnic to admire what Cornwall has to offer!! The trey bay cafe was highly recommended and it didn’t disappoint!! It helps that the stunning stretch of coastline is very close and this bit is an easy walk!! The food service and views amazing and we can’t wait to come back!!

Great little pit stop on the coastal walk from Porthcothan to Constantine Bay. Just yards from the Treyarnon Beach enjoyed a spot of lunch from a nice little menu of light bites, pizzas, burgers etc we had the cod coupons and southern fried chicken with dips. Washed down with a pint of Porthlevan Pale ale and a pint of AppleSlayer cider. Nice range of soft drinks, teas and coffees with a great view of the bay from inside or garden outside. Very nice stop on a fantastic walk.

Only popped in for a drink after walking along the cliffs. Friendly staff and a good selection of food on the menu. Family members have stayed here and really enjoyed it... who wouldn’t where this is situated.

We only stopped for coffee and cake this time but the menu looked great and we will definitely be going back next time we’re down that way!

This was our second visit to the cafe in two months. 1st visit we both thought the gentleman that servered who we took to be the manager was a little abrupt. Our second visit just reaffirmed what we picked up on the first time. When spending hard earned money it would be nice to feel more wecolmed. Possible some customer service skills training might help him.!!!

We stopped a couple of times for hot chocolate and cake here on our coastal walks with the dog. My father in law also took our daughters for an enjoyable Sunday lunch. Great choice of food and fantastic views.

it is now a daily stop on the walks we do, coffee is the best and the hot chocolate on the colder days was lovely. The staff are so friendly and the food is keenly priced and of a good quality.

We stayed nearby and went to the Youth Hostel cafe for a coffee and tea cake one morning. We've been before and it was just as lovely.

If you want good food and drink with a fabulously stunning sea view or sea sunset then this is the place to be. Treyarnon beach is right next door. This place is family friendly with books and games, a kids menu, loads of space to sit outside when the weather's dry, or you can sit inside and still see out if the kids want to play on the camping field. We've not stayed there but camping in hired Bell tents or your own tent and upstairs accommodation is available and has recently been refurbished. Staff are always friendly and the live sunset music sessions are always good. We'll worth a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Frequent visit to the YHA most nights for either food or drink or both. Good value for money, great atmosphere. Live bands on. Good staff - well done guys x

After a windy afternoon on the beach we went into the youth hostel cafe which has outstanding views. It was very cosy and relaxed. We had the jaffa cake sponge cake which was delicious. Also dog friendly and our dog enjoyed the hand made treats. We all left very happy. Lovely staff added to the enjoyable experience.

We camped for a week and loved it. See views and sunsets from our tent. Great welcoming atmosphere. Definitely booking in again.

Lovely & friendly, plenty of outside seating and accessible loos. Dog friendly too. Tasty selection of food. WiFi. Great sea views with access to a couple of beaches.

Trey bay never fails. Great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner! The staff who work at Trey bay are all lovely and very helpful . Fantastic view and atmosphere! 100% would recommend a pit stop here.

We stopped for tea after a day on the beach, great view over the cliffs looking out to sea.

The young Youth Hostel staff are really hard working and so Friendly there are alot of yummy food options available and a good variety for veggies the view and atmosphere of the YHA is beautiful we will always come back

Great overall stay. Perfect location. Comfy beds. Friendly staff. Average breakfast let down by terrible quality juices and yoghurts.

Overlooking the bay with rolling waves and rocky coastline with sandy beach makes this the ideal place to have a drink and soak it all up!

Good value for money food and good service. Plenty of seating outside. Only negative-sometimes loud music in and out. Not needed, would be good to be able to listen to sounds of the sea close by!

If you and your family are on the beach or walking by this youth hostel. Then drop in for some food and drinks and relax before you carry on your way. All the food and drinks we had was great and good service and as ( Bruce Forsyth said the price is right )

Have been using this YHA cafe for many years, primarily for its superb location, always a little disappointed with service and coffee/food. Staff are friendly enough but despite there being several staff about the queues on a sunny day are loooong and slow.. The coffee is average, not strong enough and food basic and no real love gone into it. Great views though and often good music too.

Our party of six arrived at 8.45pm on a Friday and queued to order food until 9.10pm

The YHA is not my thing but this is the only place on Treyarnon Bay offering food so we thought we would give it a try on one of the nights during our week stay. It’s pleasant enough with reasonably priced food which was very nice. The location helped as it’s totally beautiful overlooking the bay. Various people often buy drinks and sit on the cliffs watching the sunset. There’s ample space and dogs are permitted inside in certain areas. It’s designed as a budget place and lives up to its name but definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for a place to eat.

This place is a must to visit!!!...The scenery is spectacular, the food is delicious, the entertainment/bands playing are always very good, the staff are very friendly and helpful and you are allowed to bring your dogs!!! ...so a walk across the beach with your dog makes for a perfect evening!

Delicious breakfast, super cool manager and super friendly team running the YHA. Gorgeous Bell tents , picnic tables and self catering. The works! It is fab!

We have a caravan at Harlyn and walk here with the dogs for a drink and food. Always friendly staff, good food, local beer and lovely coffee. Often do music at weekends, so you can relax whilst drinking local beer.

Very impressed with the hostel, clean, good facilities. Nice atmosphere and amazing views. A stones throw from the beach. Perfect for families. Great breakfasts, the bar menu could do with more choices and some of the meals weren’t great, pizzas very nice though and there is the option to go self catering with good kitchen facilities. Will definitely be going back again in the future and will be recommending to friends.

This is a hostel but food and drink are excellent. Views over the ocean and food and dink available. Views of sunset are great and plenty of seating.

We ate here twice over the bank holiday when my brother stayed here. What a location. A few steps from Treyarnon beach and 5 minutes form Constantine. I would describe the food here as slightly above average. £50 for a family of 4 (including two hungry teenagers) brought us 4 mains, some sides, a beer, a wine and two soft drinks. We sat outside and the view is simply stunning. It was busy but food was reasonably quick and it was very relaxed. We could recommend the nachos and the pizzas. Not sure staying here would be my cup of tea but the location is simply amazing. Also whilst we had the trauma of parking on a sunny bank holiday my brother had the luxury of a parking space. If you’re looking for a low cost accommodation option and are most interested in surf and sea you can’t beat the location of this place. Its awesome.

My brother is a local and raves about this place: the food, the view and the lovely evenings here : myself and my husband went in for lunch; and you cannot deny the great views: we shared nachos and I have to admit the were disappointing: very little cheese : but everyone around us seemed to be totally enjoying there meals ; I would go again but avoid nachos next time

Einfach, aber gut. Am besten sitzt man auf Holzbänken draussen und genießt die tolle Aussicht auf die Bucht und das Meer. Gute Snacks, leckerer Kaffee.

Great breakfast choice - including full English - and good coffee. Dinner options were usual YHA offerings as well as fresh fish, plus good value house wine.Plus that view for free.

Fantastic place for a cafe/bar with a stunning view. Great choice of food on the menu, friendly staff and lots of seating outside - perfect! Can’t wait to visit again!

This was our first Youth Hostel stay. We were totally blown away with everything. The rooms were great, clean and comfortable. The communal areas were comfortable. The staff were amazing. The food was great and matched exactly the descriptions from the menu. The value was amazing.

Lovely spot. Nothing fancy but done well and quickly, with friendly service. Easy walk from the beach.

Treyarnon Bay is a dead spot for Internet, so popping in for a drink and use of the wifi is a no brainer. The staff are excellent, the cider is good too. Didn't eat so have no comment on the food but it smelled extremely good.

Treyarnon Bay youth hostel has changed a lot since I last visited.

Amazing Youth Hostel with great facilities, kitchen and bathrooms very clean. All the staff very helpful and pleasant.

Pedimos tres comidas estilo tapas por £11. Horrible mal cocinada. Raciones (art.81, que en vista de la norma podría haber sido una bendición. No nos informaron de que no había servicio de mesa después de pagar y pedir nuestro café dentro y así aparentemente abandonadas. Hasta en mi tercer consulta, una chica encantadora que trajo y sólo entonces nos informaron de que se había tenido que hacer de nuevo, ya que "no podía encontrar. "No nos habíamos movido (desde nuestra mesa! )

Que vengan a Bahía Treyarnon cada año, uno de mis lugares favoritos es el Youth Hostel! ! Por desgracia me quedé muy decepcionado con el cambio de menú, para lo cual fue pizza o hamburguesa o Hamburguesa o Pizza a elegir. . Donde tiene la mitad de la. Menú desaparecido? El año pasado estaba disfrutando de comidas tales como pollo, y los cazadores hallumi lasaña? ! . . . Muy decepcionado. y el estándar de la comida no era muy agradable también. El personal no era tan acogedor, además, mi comida fue quemada, lo único que puedo recomendar es el de calamares. Si yo fuera tú me iría a la tienda de la esquina y comprar comida de allí, posiblemente más barato y estándar pueden ser mejor.

Descubrimos este YHA con un café hace unos años y me pareció que era un gran lugar para ir andando a un poco de comida o un café o un chocolate caliente por la mañana. Hemos vuelto a visitar, pero se han convertido en cada vez más decepcionados con la comida, el café y las bebidas se han insinuado algunas concepciones en el precio y un par de veces que pedimos comida y parece recibir porciones pequeñas comparado con otros tomaban con el mismo tipo de comida. Se ha redecorado recientemente, así que quizás tenían que poner los precios para cubrir el costo.

Una joya escondida! Comida sana, unas vistas increíbles y un ambiente agradable, el zumbido. Sin duda, en nuestra lista de favoritos!

The staff here are really great, so helpful. We turn up at the door dripping wet in our wet suits having been surfing and staff take our beer order and money then bring it to us outside. We have visited of an evening and eaten from their limited menu, this is very popular when they have a live band playing outside (twice a week) Don't expect restaurant style food or service, but for decent food (pizza, burger, chilli etc) at reasonable prices in a rough and ready environment this is great. Give this place a go, we visit many times during our break, so it certainly suits us.

My only fault is that The staff seem to get in abit of a muddle, I don't feel like they have an effective working system .Don't expect table service or anything fancy. The youth hostel is in a stunning location serving cheap food and drink... the food for the price is exceptional for what you get, simple dishes cooked well with nice flavours. Perfect when your hungry after being in the sea

Just back from another fabulous 4 nights camping at Treyarnon Bay Youth Hostel.The facilities are first class, as are the staff.The coffee machine is brand new and up and running.Matt the manager made me feel very welcome and always had a kind word, don't think it will be long before another visit is planned. Thank You all the staff at Treyarnon Youth Hostel.

Great place for a coffee/tea stop with a lovely view of the beach. It has been spruced up since I last went so I was very pleasantly surprised. There is plenty of outside seating too if the weather allows. Will certainly be popping in again.

This is a fabulously placed youth hostel right on the beach. A great hostel with friendly staff and newly refurbished. Would definitely revisit.

Visited every year for the past 5 years. Brilliant coffees and great breakfast sandwiches to break up a walk along the coast

This is an amazing location for a YHA the scenery speaks for itself.The staff compliment the scenery and combination works perfectly. We love coming to this part of Cornwall and the attention to detail that the staff show there guests is second to none.The staff have a real can do attitude and nothing is too much trouble. 5 stars from us without a second thought.

Spent two nights last weekend at the Treyarnon Bay Youth Hostel. It has just been refurbished and it is a secret little gem right on the beach. Staff were excellent and welcoming.

We enjoyed a Mediterranean vegetable pizza and nachos sitting in the sunshine overlooking the beautiful Treyarnon bay. The food was tasty , reasonably priced and served quite quickly.

Comfortable room, friendly staff, food is good and the bar is open! What more do you need for £40 a night for a ensuite room with a double bed! The view is spectacular.

We had a couple of meals at the YHA, good food with great views of the coastline, a couple of evenings we just sat and had a pint whilst enjoying the view.

We have visited the hostel many times for a meal either at lunch time, mid afternoon or the evening. It always represents good value for money and the location is terrific. The menu is not gourmet but it is more than adequate.

We didn't stay at the Hostel but decided to go there for breakfast. The website says breakfast is served between 7.30am and 9.00. Unfortunately they do serve breakfast at 7.30 but for residents only! We called in on our last day hoping to get some breakfast before leaving for home but we were told that we would have to wait until 10.00 to be served.The setting is fantastic, but we were disappointed to be turned away.

All good excellent food, views and hospitality can't wait to return again. This is an idilc location with the sound of the sea all around you and clean fresh air in your lungs.So much more than any hotel has, well equipped kitchen for those wishing to self cater but also an excellent choice from the cafe, try the chilli nachos they were epic.
