Swimming holiday accommodation assistance
/For 2025 we’re hosting a number of swimming holidays in the west Cornwall area. We love west Cornwall for the simple fact that we have countless world class swimming options and coastline that points in every direction of the compass! Since 2015 we’ve held just one swim in a lake (and it’s a beautiful lake), due to a lack of safe sea swimming options! You can almost always find somewhere out of the wind or swell…if the weather gets a little wild.
Booking a holiday is very straight forward. A click of a button in some cases. So over the course of this blog I’m now going to take you through a few more of the logistics.

Trains stop at Penzance. There’s also the ‘sleeper’ from London to Penzance.

CAR & TRANSFERS
You will need wheels to get from swim to swim. You can drive down or get the bus/train to Penzance and hire a car.
EUROPCAR (from Penzance train station) - a quick search and you could get a small car from around £50 per day.
ENTERPRISE (Long Rock) - cheapest vehicle from around £120 for a long weekend. Up to 9 seater vehicles are also available from £450 (ideal if you come down as part of a group).
Companies like KAYAK are also showing availability and come in at aeround £100+ for a long weekend.
* We also encourage car shares, where possible. This could be an option with other guests, once here.
