  • This initiative aims to alleviate the burden of rising fuel prices, which have seen petrol increase by 8.6p per litre between February and March.
  • The hotel stated it is “doing what airlines won't” by covering the fuel surcharge to help travellers reach the Cornish coast.
  • Guests who booked a stay before 12 April for travel until 1 July are eligible for the discount.
