Budock Vean Hotel

On a quiet bend of the tranquil Helford River on the south coast of Cornwall in England nestles the award-winning 4 star Budock Vean Hotel. Set in 65 acres of glorious gardens, woodlands and its own golf course – The Budock Vean is a sanctuary for rest and relaxation. With an AA Rosette restaurant renowned for amazing food, relaxing treatments in the Natural Health Spa, luxury self catering holiday homes, tennis courts, kayaking and boat trips along the river, you can be as active or as relaxed as you wish. The hotel is family owned and run and prides itself on great customer care. Rooms range from the more traditional Standard and Superior to the newly refurbished Signature rooms. There are plenty of comfortable guest lounges to enjoy. The hotel spa will pamper you with Elemis treatments and local organic brand Spiezia to leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed. The nearby harbour town of Falmouth has been voted one of the best places to live in the UK. It is 6 miles, or 20 minutes by car. Places to visit include Pendennis Castle, built by King Henry VIII to defend the harbour, the National Maritime Musuem and Falmouth Art Gallery along with many independent shops. Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens are a 10 minute walk from the hotel and well worth a visit. Both are valley gardens leading down to the river with private beach access.
