Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of Cornwall, we would recommend bringing a vehicle for your stay. There is 1 dedicated space for the house and approximately 4/5 additional spaces for use across the whole site of 7 properties. They are available on a first come first serve basis.
For those coming by public transport, the cottage is only 20 minutes from Newquay Airport. Taxis and car hire are available from the airport. Newquay train station is also only around 25-30 minutes - similarly taxis and car hire are available in the town.
Other Things to Note:
There is an open garden at the front of the property which is not enclosed. The site is dog-friendly but they are not allowed to roam unattended so need to be on a lead.
