By Rail

There is a regular rail service from all parts of the country to Bodmin Parkway Station, which is only a 25 minute drive from the hotel. It is also possible to connect with trains for Newquay Station, which is closer to the hotel, but will require you to change train lines at Par. We are happy to arrange taxis to meet guests travelling by rail at their choice of station.

From London

If you are travelling from London there are direct trains from London Paddington to Bodmin Parkway, even enabling you to leave direct from work (albeit a little early) to catch the 16.00hrs train and be with us for dinner overlooking the ocean. Or, why not try the overnight sleeper train, the “Night Riviera”? It is comfortable and smooth; the cabins are stylish and spacious with a wash basin, TV and freshly laundered sheets. Much less hassle, and far more enjoyable, than flying or driving: fall asleep in London and wake up to sunrise in Cornwall. Information about this service can be found on the Britain by Rail website and on Mark Smith’s the Man in Seat Sixty-One.

From the North

The West Coast main line and Cross Country services provide a variety of direct and indirect train options, with at least 3 direct trains each day travelling the Edinburgh to Penzance route (which calls at main stations such as Newcastle, Durham, York, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Bristol, and Exeter) enabling you to alight and be collected at Bodmin Parkway.

The last direct train, which calls at the stations listed above and would ensure that you could enjoy dinner in our wonderful restaurant, departs Edinburgh just after 11.00hrs.

 

By Coach

National Express provides regular coach services from all parts of the country to Newquay. Taxis can be arranged to meet guests travelling by coach.
