Cornwall LivingIssue #62

Experiencing a holiday by the Helford River

The Budock Vean Hotel and holiday homes are set in 65 acres and surrounded by a nine-hole golf course, gardens and woodlands leading down to the edge of the Helford river. It’s a haven for peace and quiet, a real hidden gem.

With an in-house spa to pamper you, tennis courts, croquet lawn, billiards room, bar, restaurant, boat trips and kayaking, it’s somewhere that can keep you busy – or where you can find plenty of quiet places to just relax and do nothing!
