This a wonderful hotel to escape to, with your partner or with a group of friends. The food is fabulous. It may need a little attention in some of the rooms but the restaurant is brilliant at breakfast or dinner, never had room for lunch. The setting is magical with a super walk to the Helford River. We love the... More

This hotel is wonderfully located near an estuary with yachts and a pub within 10 minutes walk. Rooms are a bit like staying at your grannies, but it's your wealthy granny. They are well appointed but a little bit old fashioned. Nice stuff in the bathroom. The clientelle were all well heeled retired couples. Jacket and tie is compulsory in... More

We stayed here for one night while walking the SW Coast Path from Padstow to Falmouth. We left with mixed feelings. The positives were the lovely room with plenty of space, the beautiful grounds and the great breakfast. On the negative side was the dinner which was rather dull and unimaginative. We also left with a feeling that we would... More

We had a wonderful stay at Budock Vean Hotel. The hotel and its grounds are very picturesque. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were faultless and bent over back to make us feel welcome and well looked after. Well worth a visit - highly recommended.
