A four-star country house hotel on the Helford River near Falmouth, with a self-service dog wash and direct access to the South West Coast Path.
Budock Vean Hotel & Spa is a four-star country house hotel set in 65 acres of gardens and woodland on the Helford River, near Falmouth, with direct access to the river foreshore for kayaking, paddle-boarding and boat trips. It is a dog friendly hotel built for coastal walks and woodland adventures, with the South West Coast Path right there to explore with your dog.
Dogs stay in selected hotel rooms and self-catering cottages by prior arrangement, so contact the hotel before you book and it will set up the right room. A bed, a bowl or furniture covers are yours on request, and after a muddy day out there's an on-site self-service dog wash from The Dog Wash Company, open from 7am to 10pm.
Dogs are welcome in the lounges, the conservatory and the lobby, and out on the terrace, though not in the restaurant; you and your dog can dine together in the conservatory. With 2 AA Rosettes, the kitchen cooks modern British food from locally sourced Cornish produce, and afternoon tea brings a choice of a Cornish cream tea or sandwiches, freshly baked scones and sweet treats. A terrace menu is served as well, with Sunday lunch at selected times of the year.
The Natural Health Spa has a 15-metre indoor pool, an outdoor hot tub, a Finnish sauna and treatment rooms, and the estate has its own 9-hole golf course and two all-weather tennis courts. For a walk with your dog, Helford River Circular Walk, one of Wildpack's routes, is 1 mile away, and Maenporth Beach, the dog friendly beach Wildpack shows nearest the hotel, is 2.1 miles away.
