Glendurgan

What else is there to say when you read the other reviews. We confirm everything said. Thank you Caroline and Charles for the lovely stay and we full heartedly advice: treat yourself to stay here. Paula and Alex

Very special to stay in such a beautiful home. Caroline and Charles are gracious hosts who take the time to answer questions and give advice on things to do in the area. They have the knack of making you feel at home in their home. Everything from the beautiful bedrooms, comfortable beds, fresh flowers in the rooms and sumptuous breakfasts added up to a wonderful stay. Having the magical Glendurgan garden on the doorstep was the icing on the cake. Caroline was very helpful in dealing with various dietary needs. Top tip: make sure to book a dinner with Caroline as she is an excellent cook!

If you want to give yourselves a treat then we can thoroughly recommend Glendurgan House. Caroline and Charles are relaxed and most thoughtful hosts. We were warmly welcomed with tea on the terrace and loved our well-appointed room with stunning views over the gardens towards the Helford River. Beds were very comfortable and our nice private bathroom was across the landing. What a privilege it was to be able to enjoy the beautiful gardens out of hours. Caroline provided a delicious cooked breakfast and departure time was flexible. We hope to return.

If you like staying at a B&B that has this "little extra", Glendurgan is definitely a must. It is a beautiful house, where you can feel family tradition, the views on Glendurgan garden are amazing and it's a privilege to be able to have a walk there after regular garden visitors have left. Caroline and Charles are such nice hosts and I truly recommend staying for Caroline's home made dinner (although she equally has great tips for nice restaurants in the neighbourhood).

Caroline and Charles were the most welcoming and attentive hosts. Our room was spacious with a gorgeous view over the gardens and towards the river Helford. It was a treat to have access to the gardens after the visitors had left. Following our walk, Caroline cooked us a delicious meal with vegetables from her own garden. We look forward to visiting again, but for longer next time!

If you want to experience Cornwall’s history in a very beautiful setting, if you love antiques, if you love delicious food, then I cannot think of a better place to stay. It is a fascinating place that stays with you long after your time there.

We have used sawdays for over 20 years visiting nearly 50 properties during that time. We operated b&b ourselves with sawdays until 2022. This is our best b&b experience ever.the food was excellent , the room good, location superb and the hospitality from Caroline and Charles faultless. Highly recommended. We especially enjoyed the private access to gkendurgan garden before the public arrived and the coastal walks.

A house with unique family history. Outstanding hospitality, delicious breakfasts and dinners. The unspoilt views from the window of our room into the garden towards the sailing boats in the distance. And this wonderful famous garden, blooming and so quiet in the mornings and evenings when all the visitors are gone.

Excellent five night visit in this historic home. Charles & Caroline were gracious and welcoming, with suggestions to fill our days and a great breakfast daily and tea in the evening. Caroline cooked a delicious dinner and Charles gave us a tour of the impressive Glendurgan gardens. House is extremely clean and bed is comfortable and room is quiet. Beautiful river view. Recommended.

Glendurgan House is very special gem in the crown of loveliness that is the Cornish coast. Caroline and Charles welcomed us with warmth and grace to their beautiful home, fed us with delicious local and home grown feasts, and were utterly charming and generous in their attention to detail, ensuring our supreme comfort and relaxation at all times. The only down side was having, eventually, to leave this heavenly place.

As well as all its other delights, Glendurgan House offers you the chance to rise with the sun, make your way down through the magical garden with only the birds for company, to emerge at the bottom of the valley on a little beach (very little, if the tide is in). Here you can swim in clear cold water, as the sun rises over the headland. By the time you arrive back at the house after the 10 minute walk, your body is warm again and ready for a perfect breakfast. And you could go again at sunset, or in the moonlight...

Enjoyed a very comfortable one night stay at Glendurgan whilst visiting friends locally. The house is lovely and Caroline and Charles are very welcoming. Delightful view from the breakfast table down to the water through very attractive gardens. Hope to return before long.

Caroline and Charles offer a superlative experience - comfort, charm, delicious food and of course the most spectacular historical important gardens in the South West of England - this is a must on your bucket list for anyone visiting Cornwall

I just spent 5 lovely nights at the Fox’s B&B at Glendurgan. My bedroom looked out over the garden filled with rhododendrons and azaleas! Beautiful! The bed was very comfortable, the breakfasts were perfect, and Caroline’s dinners were absolutely delicious! Charles drove me to the Eden Project one day and to Falmouth for a ferry and lunch in St. Mawes on another. I walked through the garden several times and along the SW Coast Path in both directions. It was a wonderful visit and I hope to go back very soon.

We've recently returned from a wonderful stay at Glendurgan House whilst dropping our son off at university. It was the perfect place to stay - the house and gardens are beautiful, with stunning views of the estuary (also from our bedroom!). Charles and Caroline made us feel very welcome and we would love to visit again. Thank you!

I loved my stay at Glendurgan. The tranquility and Cornish beauty of both the house and surrounding gardens were memorable. Caroline and Charles were warm and welcoming hosts which made the whole stay a joy.

We were made to feel immediately welcome by Caroline. The house is charming and very comfortable. The guests comfort is obviously uppermost in our host’s focus. We had 2 delicious dinners. Caroline is a most engaging person and chatting with her over breakfast was a joy. We will be back for sure.

We had a lovely 3-night stay with Caroline and Charles at a beautiful house at the top of the NT Glendurgan Gardens. We were made very welcome, thoroughly enjoyed Caroline's cooked breakfasts and the one evening meal that we had at Glendurgan. We walked down through the National Trust gardens and along the coast path to the Ferry Boat on the other 2 evenings. We learnt a lot of local history both about Glendurgan and about the Donald Healey motoring connections with Trebah Gardens next door. Hopefully we will return one day.

We had the loveliest visit to the Fox’s Glendurgan near Falmouth. The hosts were most welcoming and we wanted for nothing. Enjoyed our walk through the beautiful gardens, then had a delicious dinner. We are hoping to be able to visit again.

We only stayed for one night but it was a perfect haven for that time. Caroline and Charles are delightful hosts, offering a warm welcome and very helpful advice on local walks . Glendurgan house is beautiful with a fabulous view over to the Helford river, and access in to the wonderful Glendurgan gardens was an unexpected privilege. A little taste of heaven. We would highly recommend it and love to go back.
