The Experience

A huge old Cornish house, built by Kate’s ancestors and which has never changed hands. Find delightful, gorgeously faded grandeur, along with Indian rugs, antique 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 and a rambling garden with lawns, pasture, orchard, woodland and lake complete with breeding water fowl.

Bedrooms are traditional, full of books, antiques and pots of flowers; bathrooms are spick and span, one small and functional, two large. Come to experience a ‘time warp’ and charming Kate’s hearty breakfasts, all served at the grand dining table.

Wander the beautiful estate for miles, pop into the Trengilly Wartha in Constantine for excellent food and a lovely garden. You’re close to Falmouth University, too.

Reviews

Angus

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.


Location

The neighbourhood

The Helford is 10 to 15 minutes away for coastal walks, a string of pretty hamlets like Durgan (ice cream shack on the beach) and Port Navas (lovely food at the yacht club), and subtropical gardens like Trebah and Glendurgan. Swim at Grebe Beach or Helford Passage – from here take a ferry to explore creeks. Good places to eat include the Potager Garden and Slice of Cornwall.

Introducing

Kate & Stephen Tyrrell

Kate's family built the house in 1760 and have lived here ever since. She grew up here and brought up her own three children here too. When her aunt died she and her husband took over the running of the house and garden. She's been with Sawday's since the very beginning, greeting guests warmly and looking after them with charm and ease.
