Glendurgan

Glendurgan is truly ideal. Our 4-day stay provided a perfect break for enjoying Cornwall, without the hassle of crowds. Use it as a base for exploring the gardens nearby, not least Glendurgan itself, as well as Trebah. You can enjoy walks as well as swimming in the nearby bay. A mile or so away is a harbourside pub with a passenger ferry, for exploring the opposite side of the river. The B&B’s location really does make for a restful and peaceful stay. Perhaps most all, all, come for the hospitality and food. Caroline and Charles are the perfect hosts.

It was perfect. The welcome, the bedroom, the views ... the garden. Caroline was so generous with her time and her local knowledge. From the tea and cake on the terrace on the first day to dinner on the last evening it was magical. It felt like another world and we are hoping to return.

We came to Glendurgan for a babymoon/birthday celebration. What a unique place! We loved: 1. The beautiful house - a feast for the eyes and a voyage through time. 2. Caroline and Charles’ warm welcome - like meeting a beloved aunt and uncle. We felt part of their family for a few days. Definitely take Caroline’s offer of dinner - she made a scrumptious duck and quince dish with vegetables from the garden. 3. The surroundings - we walked through the splendid Glendurgan gardens, swam in the bay and walked along the coast towards a charming harbourside pub. We can’t wait for next time :)

Staying here is pure bliss, in every way a perfect few days. Genial and relaxed hosts, who could not do more to ensure our stay was perfect. The room was very comfortable as was the bed, exceptionally so, with a view of the garden. Attention to detail is amazing: fresh flowers and beautiful laundered linen. Caroline’s cooking is delicious. I suspect she is the best cook in Cornwall. Walking through the garden for an evening swim was a delight. We will return.
