Our turn to serve
Celebrate Wimbledon season at Budock Vean Hotel & Spa with a tennis-inspired afternoon tea and time on the courts.
Our turn to serve
Wimbledon is one of the great markers of an English summer, and at Budock Vean Hotel & Spa, we’re celebrating the return of tennis championships. From 29th June to 12th July, enjoy a few quiet hours with our Wimbledon Afternoon Tea, filled with beautifully crafted treats inspired by one of season’s best-loved sporting events.
With a glass of fizz included, settle into the terrace or conservatory with views of our flourishing gardens and golf course, and raise a toast to a leisurely summer’s day spent well.
Enjoy a selection of classic sandwiches, including smoked salmon with crème fraîche, Westcountry ham with grain mustard mayonnaise, and Cheddar cheese with heritage tomato. Freshly baked homemade scones follow, served with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam. To finish, delight in a playful trio of tennis-inspired patisserie: lemon cheesecake ‘tennis ball’, strawberries and cream gâteau opéra cake, and a cherry Bakewell macaron.
Wimbledon Afternoon Tea will be served daily 1-4pm, £30 per person.
Game, set, match
If Wimbledon has inspired you to pick up a racket, Budock Vean Hotel & Spa’s two all-weather tennis courts are free for hotel and self-catering guests to enjoy, with rackets and balls available on request. Day visitors are welcome too, with court hire available Monday to Saturday at £10 per hour. Expert coaches Des O’Reilly and Will Richards also offer individual and group tennis lessons tailored to all ages and abilities. For those local to the area looking for a regular spot to play, enjoy use of the tennis courts, swimming pool and wider leisure facilities with our Country Club and Spa & Leisure memberships.
Three-night Tennis Break
Join us from 26th to 29th June for a three-night Tennis Break with Will Richards. Across morning and evening group sessions, you’ll work through the fundamentals, from groundstrokes, serves and volleys to refining technique and building confidence on court. Between sessions, explore the subtropical gardens, follow riverside trails along the South West Coast Path beside the Helford, play the 9-hole/18-tee golf course and unwind in the Natural Health Spa, perfect for post-game relaxation in the sauna, hot tub and indoor pool. With breakfast each morning and dinner each evening, enjoy a sporting escape at our countryside four-star hotel in Cornwall.
