Common Seafaring Questions
What are the best ways to get from Newquay Airport?
Newquay Airport is just a 10-minute drive away. We recommend pre-booking a local taxi or using the frequent bus services that connect the airport to St Columb Major. Car rentals are also available directly at the terminal for those looking to explore further afield.

Yes, several local convenience stores are within walking distance in St Columb Major. For a larger shop, there are major supermarkets such as Morrisons and Sainsbury's in Newquay, approximately a 15-minute drive from the retreat.
Which beaches are the easiest to access?
Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth are our closest beaches, both accessible within a 10-12 minute drive. These offer excellent parking, public facilities, and straightforward coastal paths suitable for all ages and four-legged friends.
