The Atlantic Hotel in Newquay appears in the railway research as a destination for the North Cornwall Coach Company’s Pioneer service in 1895. The coach connected the Newquay area with railway arrivals at Wadebridge.
This places the hotel in a visitor network that used both rail and road. It is a different building from the Great Western, Victoria and Headland hotels, each of which has its own architectural and transport history. The coach evidence supports the Atlantic’s role as a named destination; it should not be stretched into unsupported claims about railway-company ownership or the hotel’s construction.
