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 have just returned after 5 nights at Budock Vean, we have stayed there before and each time we are so pleased we found this gem. The staff are really friendly and professional, the food is to die for and with a good choice changing daily. The gardens are beautiful and lead down to the Helford river where it is... 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.

We take an annual autumn break at Budock Vean for a highly entertaining crossword event. Service is impeccable, the catering is superb and we thoroughly enjoy a swim in the pool or a dip in the spa. We played a round of the golf course last year (fearsome in a snowstorm but I imagine it is very enjoyable in fine... More

I love going to the Day Spa here with friends for some much needed me time, ladies enjoy a delicous lunch followed by some luxurious pampering. Dinner in the evening is excellent as well, although you do have to adhere to the dress code tie and jacket...... may be its time to live it up!!!

Our friends booked this as his parents had stayed there many years ago, and loved the hotel. It seems the high quality of Budock Vean has remained over the decades. It was our first stay, but our feeling was that most people staying came every year, and I can fully understand why! A lovely setting, with relaxing grounds, and a... More
