The Old Workshop - Drift

01/09/2025

🚗✨ Exploring West Cornwall just got easier!

If you’d love to see the very best of our stunning coastline, hidden coves, and historic landmarks—but don’t fancy the stress of navigating Cornwall’s famously narrow lanes—why not let Conrad at Kernow Tours take the strain?

We happily recommend Conrad’s guided tours to our guests here at The Old Workshop Drift. He knows all the secret spots, drives with ease, and brings Cornwall’s stories to life along the way.

So whether it’s Land’s End, St Ives, the Minack Theatre, or a tucked-away fishing village, sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey. 🌊🏞️

👉 Ask us for details when you book your stay, and we’ll gladly connect you with Conrad at Kernow Tours.

Although not guests staying here we were glad to help after their car broke down outside on Sunday for hours. A little kindness goes a long way and thank you Lucia and Robin for this amazing token of appreciation. X

🌟 New Local Gem Alert! 🌟

We had the pleasure of dining at the brand new Casa Tapa in Newlyn – and what a fantastic experience it was! The food is absolutely delicious, the service warm and friendly, and the decor is bright, stylish, and inviting.

It’s a brilliant new addition to the Newlyn food scene and just a short drive from The Old Workshop. Whether you’re staying with us or local to the area, we highly recommend checking it out. We’ll definitely be going back! 🍷🍽️
