Bright and blooming
Spring at Budock Vean Hotel & Spa is a celebration of colour and light. The gardens are bursting into bloom and with the clocks going forward in March, we welcome longer days.
Escape to our serene countryside estate on the Helford River in Cornwall for a spring getaway and savour days in nature. Wander through our subtropical gardens as camelias, magnolias and rhododendrons come into flower. Take the path down to the private foreshore or explore renowned nearby gardens including Trebah and Glendurgen. For the best of Cornwall’s gardens, our three-night Cornish Garden Break is ideal for spring explorers.
A season of celebration
There are lots of special moments to enjoy at Budock Vean this season. As Easter approaches, look forward to our themed Easter afternoon tea on 3rd April, filled with seasonal treats, delicate sandwiches and a classic Cornish cream tea.
In April we welcome local experts for our evening Supper Club events. Settle in for a delicious three-course dinner followed by an engaging talk in celebration of the beautiful place we call home. Join us on Thursday 9th April when author, presenter and journalist Tim Hubbard will be sharing stories from his book Secret Gardens of Cornwall, revealing insights into some of Cornwall’s most captivating gardens.
On Thursday 14th May we welcome Hetty of Koru Kayaking as she reveals details of the incredible ecosystem of the Helford River and what it’s like to experience it from out on the water – perfect for curious minds and nature lovers alike.
Activities on your doorstep
Embrace space and freedom this time of year. With full use of the leisure facilities included in your stay, enjoy a match on our two all-weather tennis courts, challenge each other in the snooker room, take a dip in the swimming pool and unwind in the sauna and outdoor hot tub overlooking the gardens.
Pick up the South West Coast Path close to Budock Vean for rewarding walks along the Helford River winding through ancient woodland and past quiet creeks.
From April, the Helford River becomes your inspiring backdrop for adventure. Take to the water on boat trips with Koru or join their guided kayaking and paddleboarding experiences leading you to distant corners of the river. Or why not take a refreshing swim right from our private foreshore.
