Classic Car Breaks

Cornwall Classic Car Hire and The Well House Hotel in association with Cornwall Power Cruises proudly present...

Double '0' Heaven – Our Ultimate Break

2008 is the centenary year of Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond. To celebrate this landmark event we have put together a rather stylish special break...

Dreaming of living the high life, driving the car of choice for the world’s most famous spy and indulging in food fit for someone really on Her Majesty’s Secret Service? How about skimming the waves on a luxury sports cruiser to help feel like a real life James Bond?

Read on and see how you can turn all this into reality...

Perfect for a one off life-time experience or celebration, this very special break captures the essence of Ian Fleming’s creation; James Bond; but without his particularly rough brand of danger and daring. No bullets, car chases or sheer drops but plenty of real life excitement and indulgence!

Drive a magnificent Aston Martin DB 6 - closely related to the DB 5 used by Sean Connery in ‘Goldfinger’ & ‘Thunderball’ – and once more by Daniel Craig in the most recent incarnation of 007 – ‘Casino Royale’….. Explore the beautiful coast and countryside of Cornwall & Devon from behind the wheel of this gentleman’s luxury sportscar, stay at a wonderful tucked away luxury country house hotel and enjoy the various touches and experiences we’ve dreamed up.

Offered in partnership with The Well House Hotel – Cornwall’s only Country House Hotel with a three AA Rosette restaurant - careful thought has been given to the food and relaxed itinerary for the weekend. Hidden away in the peace and tranquillity of the Looe valley in South East Cornwall dry martinis will of course be waiting – including the ‘Vesper’ – naturally shaken not stirred! This is one of Cornwall’s most prestigious intimate luxury hotels, with picture book Cornish gardens, all weather tennis court, heated swimming pool and croquet lawn; discrete high living for those that value the best in life.

Head Chef Tom Hunter is a Master Chef of Great Britain who will provide dinner inspired by the very best of local produce, fit for you know who, and helped along by a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne! Depending on personal preference oysters, caviar, quails eggs, lobster and other top end fancies will be incorporated. Breakfast here is an event in itself, one of the seven ‘Best for Breakfast’ in the country according to The Good Food Guide. Full English, home made muesli, compote, porridge, Continental or simply JB’s favourite - scrambled eggs and sausages – or may be the non-driver will want a champagne breakfast? …This is special, so we will help plan out your weekend carefully.

There is plenty of inspiration for feeling like a real life double ‘O’ - be it driving the Aston (a little more carefully than JB himself please!) or taking a breathtaking half-day powerboat cruise. Driving the Aston Martin through the south west countryside is an absolute dream as you explore the coastline and hidden creeks of Cornwall. Head for Falmouth where you will experience another example of the finer things in life – your own privately chartered boat. The MV ‘Fossils Venture’ is a luxurious 39 ft Sealine flybridge sports cruiser, the ultimate marine experience which will be moored awaiting your arrival for a breathtaking half day cruise.

Arriving at the Visitors Yacht Haven, North Quay, Falmouth you will be met by Clive, your skipper and guide for the day who will be delighted to show you his part of the world. All you have to do is dress for the weather and climb aboard. The MV ‘Fossils Venture’ makes for luxurious, comfortable, swift sea or estuary cruising with a spacious saloon, well sheltered cockpit in which to relax and a spacious flybridge for you to enjoy your time on the water.

Weather permitting, your cruise will be from Rosemullion Head to St. Anthony Head which we believe is very high on the short list as the most spectacular part of Cornwall for outstanding scenery, history and wildlife.

Park up the Aston and enjoy!
