We planned a week long family reunion for 22 at Pentillie and It was a spectacular event with memories to last a lifetime Despite rain throughout our stay, the venue was absolutely perfect. Every guest was able to relax and enjoy every minute of their stay. Sam,Stephen and all the staff were gracious and kind with all our requests. We can't wait to repeat this vacation at this same venue. All the outside companies that were recommended by Pentillie staff were phenomenal and exceeded our expectations Four elements catering and lone wolf archery, hats off to both of you!

We were a group of 20 friends who have known each other for 45 years. We have reunions lasting three days days, every two years, so have stayed in many places - this time it was unanimous that Pentille was the best venue we have visited. There are many so positives things to say, starting with the location and building itself - which are simply spectacular. The public areas are lovely and the bedrooms are extremely comfortable. Next are the staff who were superb from start to finish. Everyone was highly professional, charming and took great pride in their job and in their special place of work. They all simply wanted us to have a great time, which we most certainly did. Pentille recommended a local catering firm, who were excellent - the food was creative, delicious and perfect portions. One special feature of Pentille is that guests are genuinely left to use the house as if it is their own. I have never come across this before and it was a wonderful feeling. Overall we had a great time and would definitely consider a return visit for a group who can use most or all of the bedrooms and so both create a great atmosphere and also spread the costs. Thank you to the entire Pentille team.…

Wow wow wow what a wonderful and spectacular place to hold a wedding. Chrissie the wedding coordinator was amazing so caring friendly and amazing. The rooms were out of this world. The attention to detail in every single room you could not fault. We attended our niece's wedding which was held in the very romantic boat house. I cannot thank everyone enough we all were made to feel so welcome and special we really really didn't want to leave. The owners certainly have something very special and unique. If you are thinking of this venue for a special event don't hesitate just book it I promise you will love it. Thank all at pentile x

We are a large family of 21 and spent the most glorious week at Pentillie. The first place in 16 years when everyone was entirely delighted with their accommodation! Beautiful grounds. Luxurious bedrooms. Massive kitchen and dining room and friendly and welcoming staff and owners. It was perfect. We loved it. We even had a murder mystery in the drawing room! Would go back at the drop of a hat

From start to finish we had superb service and communication from all at Pentillie especially Chrissie (wedding coordinator). They enabled us to have our dream wedding with every detail thought of and covered, nothing was too much effort and the day ran perfectly without a hitch. If you are thinking of having your wedding or event at Pentillie you will not be disappointed and will be in safe hands for the whole process.

We have just had our wedding reception at Pentillie Castle, and it truly was the most wonderful day! From the moment we met, Pentillie's wedding co-ordinator Chrissie went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. She was always so friendly and happy to chat over even the smallest details, was incredibly helpful with all of our questions, and made every aspect of planning our Pentillie wedding into a really special and personal experience. We were drawn to Pentillie's beautiful grounds and outdoor spaces which all lend themselves to stunning photo opportunities, but we were equally impressed by the indoor areas, which are beautifully decorated and we and all of our guests greatly enjoyed our time there. Our guests all said how much they loved their sytlish and elegant bedrooms and the amazing breakfast the next morning too. On the day, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. Stephen, Linda and all of the team were fantastic, working behind the scenes, looking after our guests and keeping the day running smoothly. Pentillie is a magical place for a wedding and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special venue. We could not have chosen a more perfect place to celebrate our special day! Thank you all again for everything, we will always remember how you all helped make our dreams a reality. Brett and Sarah White (married May 2021)…

We were greeted very warmly and had much appreciated help getting to our table where the views and setting were really beautiful. Sadly things went downhill from there, as the food and drinks themselves were very disappointing. After having the afternoon teas brought to us we weren’t checked on again by any staff for the duration of our stay so only had two small cups of tea each and a small serving of cream and jam to split between three of us with no refills or top ups offered to us at any point. We also were told there was a gluten free option available and sadly this involved very minimal effort, with fewer savoury options provided than those without dietary requirements and a fairly sorry looking bowl of fruit as a replacement to any cakes. Unfortunately this just all felt like no effort had really been made for the same cost. Recommended for the views but not much else unfortunately!…

Response from Sammie Coryton, General Manager at Pentillie Castle & Estate
Responded Jun 17, 2021
Dear Nicola, We are so sad to hear of your disappointment with your afternoon tea experience earlier this week. We pride ourselves on the fact that everyone who visits Pentillie usually enjoys their experience to the full, and are very sorry to hear that this was not the case for yourself. Your feedback is very important to us, and as such we have reviewed the day, and chatted to both the chefs and the team (which included myself) with regard to your comments. We are very sorry that you did not feel that your needs were attended to. As I personally looked after your table I am particularly saddened to hear of your experience, as I did check on your party a number of times. However, I will use your feedback to review how I talk to guests in future to ensure that I ask more pertinent questions. You are right, I did not ask you ‘if you would like another pot of tea’, but merely if ‘everything was OK’? The chefs always try to ensure that any dietary requirements are looked after with the same attention to detail and flavour as other guests. We have asked them to review their offer for dietary requirement to ensure that this ‘reduced offer’ does not happen again. We also appreciate that ‘going out experiences’ are even more special than usual at the moment, and are very sad that we let you down on this occasion. We would like to offer you a complimentary tea Yours sincerely Stephen Waite House Manager

We all loved our bedrooms, which were beautifully furnished, the small grandchildren spent much time in the games room, allowing the grown-ups to enjoy playing the piano, or relaxing in the various sitting rooms. We enjoyed walks in the evening, particularly down to the river Tamar, and loved playing boules and other games. All the staff were very pleasant, and we loved the history of the house, and were delighted to meet the family who owned it. Lady E
