Virtually all our guests remark on the convenience of our location for getting about in Cornwall.  Although we are in the heart of the countryside, we are only about five miles from Truro, Cornwall's only city, and a similar distance from the towns of Falmouth and Redruth.  The main East-West arterial route through the county, the A30, is less than ten minutes drive away.  Both North and South coasts are within easy reach, and practically anything you want to see or do in Cornwall can be reached within an hour by car. 

However, for those not travelling by car, or perhaps wanting a change from car travel while they are on holiday, there are many other ways of getting about around here.

The train is one possibility  We are also served by a combination of a local bus and minibus service. 

Truronian buses run throughout the middle of the county and can be a stress-free way of visiting some of the more popular attractions such as Eden, the Lizard and St Mawes

The Corlink minibus service will get you to and from the main bus routes, but needs to be booked at least one hour in advance, and can only be booked when the Corlink office is open.

What about hiring a Morgan sports car for a few days? The garage is only a mile away over the hill. 

Cycling is one of the best ways to see Cornwall, especially since a network of cycle routes has been created by Sustrans and others, criss-crossing the county.  We can collect you and your bike(s) from the train or coach stations, or the airport, on your arrival.  If you don’t bring a bike with you, you can hire one at competitive rates from our local helpful hire shop on the Mineral Tramways cycle route, just a few hundred yards down the road from us.

Cornwall is great walking country too, whether you choose the extensive coast path walks, public footpaths and bridle paths or simply the many pretty and quiet lanes that surround us.
