Well organised and run but did not have as much rail content as I have experienced on other rail discoveries.

The itinerary was super, however, the Cornish coast is very hilly in places so people do need to be mobile. The two steam train rides were great fun. The Beresford hotel rooms are being renovated at present, when they are all completed it should be fine. The sea view rooms have spectacular views of one of Newquay's surfing beaches.

View great, room very tired, don’t know why you used a three star hotel, not your usual standard. The staff were fantastic under very trying conditions but as stated the room was so in need of an upgrade. The meals were basic but ok but the breakfast was awful, all served up in supposedly heated storage tins. The fried eggs were cold, the mushrooms were awful the bacon usually over cooked and tough to cut. My wife would only eat scrambled egg on toast but on our last day the egg was terrible and so she ate nothing. The trips were quite good and the chap in charge friendly and helpful.
