Contact Budock Vean Hotel & Spa, Cornwall

Set within 65 acres of glorious sub-tropical gardens, woodland, and a golf course, our country house hotel is just a 15-minute drive from the harbour town of Falmouth. With its own private foreshore on the Helford River, we offer direct access to the South West Coast Path – perfect for scenic walks. We're around six miles from Falmouth University’s Penryn campus and about an hour’s drive from both the Eden Project to the east and Tate St Ives to the west. Cornwall’s cathedral city of Truro is 14 miles away.

It takes around five hours to get from London to the heart of Cornwall where Budock Vean Hotel & Spa is located. Drive along the M4 motorway from London, or M6 from Manchester, and then the M5 to Exeter and finally either the A30, that is mostly dual carriageway, or the A38 through Plymouth and Saltash.

Alternatively, if you enter Cornwall from North Devon, there is the scenic Atlantic Highway A39 through Bude which you can join from Junction 27 on the M5. Due to the high volume of traffic on Cornwall's roads during the summer months, the main routes can become congested, especially at weekends. Travelling overnight or outside peak rush hours is recommended to avoid delays.

From Truro take the A39 to Falmouth. On the A39 about 4 miles before Falmouth, you will pick up the brown tourist information road-signs for Glendurgan and Trebah gardens. Follow these signs through Mawnan Smith and continue past Trebah, and after a further half mile and sharp right-hand bend, you will find the entrance to Budock Vean Hotel & Spa.
