Stayed at matt's surf lodge several times, enjoyed each thoroughly. The guys and girls there were all very friendly and helpfull with tips for surfing as i was trying to learn. For the price you pay, the facilities are all well used yet good. The atmosphere was really chilled out allowing you to come and go as you please and... more

We first booked matts due to price and location, and knew it wouldnt be 5 star. Arrived and paid deposit, which is only a tenner, and were showed around. Nicest staff ever, huge film collection, hotties on reception and free, unlimited tea and coffee all day long! Its perfect for beach lovers and the clubbing type-no curfew and surfboards are... more

Me and 9 of my friends stayed here for 3 nights over new year. We wasn't really expecting anything spectacular due to the price we paid.

Just spent a week at Matts with eight other friends and had such a brilliant time, all the people there are really nice (especially Brad and John!). It is in a perfect location, near town and fistral and because theres no curfew you can come back whenever and theres still usually people up playing pool or something. Had a look... more
