Ambience & Location
Nestled on the rocky edge of the Pentire Headland, it?s hard to believe the hustle and bustle of Newquay is just a mile or so away. It?s true – while Lewinnick Lodge has the vibe of an off the beaten track hidden gem, it?s as convenient a Cornish location as they come: around 2 miles from the train station, 8 miles from Newquay airport and just 10 miles off the A30 if you?re driving.
