You won’t need a boat, Cornwall isn’t underwater…


This week we’ve had lots of calls from concerned guests who are worried they won’t be able to get to us due to the recent news reports that Cornwall has been cut-off due to the recent storms.

Yes we’ve had some pretty dramatic weather, it’s been pretty blowy on the coast and the high tides have been somewhat impressive but we’re a pretty hardy bunch down here and the extreme weather hasn’t really phased us.

Rail travel into the county is likely to be disrupted for the next few weeks but don’t let a little thing like that put you off, there are still plenty of ways you can get your Cornwall fix:

By car All of the major routes into and around Cornwall remain open so travelling by car is easy peasy! Especially as you will have an allocated car parking space on arrival.

By air Regular flights bound for Newquay Airport depart from London Gatwick and Manchester on a daily basis. Flybe have recently added additional flights between London and Newquay to ease the pressure caused by the rail disruptions. With one-way flights starting from just £39 versus a £60 off-peak rail single, flying into Cornwall is the financially savvy option.

We’ve also managed to negotiate preferential rates with our friends at Apple Cabs for transfers between Newquay Airport and The Sail Lofts so please get in touch if you need us to book you a taxi.

By coach National Express offer coach services into Cornwall from most major towns and cities and with free WiFi now available on their coaches it’s a great way to travel.

By rail Rail travel is still an option it may just take a little longer than normal as direct routes may not be possible. Rail replacements and diversions are all in place so if you do prefer train travel just plan your journey in advance and you’ll be just fine.

Safe travels everyone,
