There are many ways to get to Porthcothan but we’ve written down the route we find easiest to drive in peak season.SAT NAV USERS: Our post code is PL28 8PN, but beware...some sat navs are not aware of the new A30 dual carriage way after Bodmin, and will therefore take you on a very time consuming detour. Others suggest you come off the A30 far too early on the Camelford road, which also takes ages.So we would suggest:Take A30 as far as the Highgate Hill junction, where you turn right to take the A39 towards St Columb Major/ Wadebridge. Continue along the A39 until you reach the Winnards Perch roundabout. Turn left here onto the B3274 road to Padstow. After 2 miles take the 2nd left (signposted St Merryn). Go straight on at the next crossroads. Before St Merryn, follow the signs for Porthcothan Bay (taking a left at the large bend just past the ‘holiday villages’, and left again at the next t-junction). After approx 2 miles (on the B3276 towards Newquay) turn right at the sign for Carnevas Farm Holiday Park (opposite the Tredrea Inn). If you get to the beach at Porthcothan, you’ve gone too far!We are 1/2 mile up this road - the Linney and the Granary are on the right hand side, next door to the Carnevas Holiday park office; Crigg Cottage is opposite the campsite entrance.Closest ferry port: Plymouth approx 1 1/2 hour driveClosest airport Newquay: 10 minute driveClosest train station: Bodmin approx 1 hour drive
