Budock Vean Hotel is an oasis of tranquillity but if you can prise yourself away from its cosy fireplace, outdoor hot tub and spacious, comfortable rooms, it’s a good base for exploring the coastal town of Falmouth and spectacular scenery along the Helford River.
With a high-quality restaurant and spa, this four-star hotel, which feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere, is ideal for people who want to “get away from it all” and unwind for a while – and it’s dog-friendly too. You can go for a stroll around the grounds, or just beyond, and hear nothing but birdsong.
But it’s only a 20-minute drive from Falmouth, which has lots to see and do including the National Maritime Museum, Pendennis Castle, Falmouth Art Gallery and several gardens and beaches. It’s a paradise for foodies, with options for all tastes and budgets.
