Welcome Pack

Your guide

Stonechats, Cornwall
17 Golf Lodges
Atlantic Reach TR8 4LX

Welcome to our Cornish getaway. We hope you are comfortable in the house and get to really enjoy the facilities on site and use all this as the perfect base for exploring beautiful Cornwall.

Whatever the weather, the coastline is unbeatable — we give you some pointers here to help you choose. We also have tips for inland treasures.

This guide also explains some important need-to-knows for inside the house.

Directions

17 Golf Lodges, Atlantic Reach, TR8 4LX

For your Satnav, use post code TR8 4LX. Leave the A30 at the Highgate Hill junction, towards Newquay. Travel 1 mile down A39 to Halloon Roundabout. Take second exit to Newquay. After 0.7 miles Atlantic Reach is on the right.

There is a train station at St Columb Road, or Newquay where getting a taxi is easier.

Checking In and Out

Arrive from 3 PM

After entering the Atlantic Reach entrance, follow round 3 bends, then pass the leisure centre car park on your right. This is where you pick up your leisure passes, now or later.

Go straight on, to the end, where you have to turn right. Then take first left and follow down, near to bottom. Stonechats, number 17, is on your left.

The best car parking is a little behind you, on both sides of the road, or down and to the right, but it's ok to stop outside the house to unload. The key safe is round the back, by kitchen door. We will provide the code to you.

Check out by 11 AM

Please make sure you have everything (chargers?) and pop the keys back in the keysafe as you go.

Please put your rubbish in the big bins in a car park.

In the Kitchen

The Blue Cafetière — is a hoot — don't push the filter down! If you do, the French get their revenge. Just wait a bit and give it a wiggle.

  • The Baby Björn highchair is a great design — please check that you know where the knob is (under the tray) to release it quickly if needed.
  • The stairgates lock by pressing and turning the knob to the right, and release with a left turn — always lock them when in use.
