The Experience

A huge old Cornish house that’s been in Kate’s family since 1760 – along with Indian rugs, heavy furniture, ornate plasterwork, portraits and a piano… even a harp. Historians will be in their element: pass three Celtic crosses dating from the 8th century before the long drive finds the imposing house (all granite gate posts and lions) and a rambling garden with grotto, lake, pasture and woodland. Bedrooms are traditional, full of books, antiques and pots of flowers; bathrooms are spic and span, one small and functional, two large. Come to experience a ‘time warp’ and charming Kate’s good breakfasts. Close to Falmouth University, too.

Reviews

A completely magical place. Just making our way up the drive, we felt like we were stepping into a little eddy outside the rush of time. The house is filled with treasures, but also a sense of ease. Even the peacocks in the garden appeared particularly relaxed. The welcome was so warm, the room so peaceful, we wished we had longer than a quick weekend to stay. We will definitely return to see the garden in Spring.

Alexandra, Frodsham Cheshire

Exceptional! A great and lovely house with an exceptional hostess. The room was very quiet, big and confortable. The tips we were given were just great and allowed us to make the best of our time in the area. On top of that, we decided to have dinner one day and the food was just amazing. No doubt we will go back!

Jose, London

Magical - lovely friendly welcome and a privilege to have insight into an unusual scenario 21st century where the same family have been able to keep a home of this size for over 200 years. Would love to go back.

I took my mother to Bosvathick a couple of years ago and we had the most delightful time. Kate is a gem and it was such a treat to stay in an authentically old house with a long and interesting family history. If a prissy boutique hotel is your idea of nirvana then this might not be your ideal but if you want an insight into a real English country home you will love it.
