Seb, not doubting you but the fella that sold you the ticket must have been drunk.
UK trains are anything but cheap You're talking around $50 for a single trip like that second class.

Coach would be cheaper. You should be able to get one straight from the airport to London

As for Cornwall, I would hire a car and drive it. Would take about 5-6 hours and once you are out of London it's a breeze. Allow time for stopping at Stonehenge as it'll be handily enroute. Else, take another coach and have your relatives pick you up.
*edit* actually I apologize Seb. Trains are cheaper than I remember or maybe it was me that was drunk.
