From river to sea
Discover the very best of Cornwall with our four‑night Coast to Coast Break, pairing two nights at Budock Vean Hotel & Spa on the peaceful south Cornwall coast with two nights at our sister property, The Esplanade Hotel, overlooking Fistral Beach in Newquay on the north coast.
Designed for travellers who want to see more of Cornwall in one trip, this unique break can be enjoyed in either order, offering the flexibility to start your journey by river or sea.
Riverside escapes
At Budock Vean, you’ll find a sprawling 65-acre estate nestled on the Helford River. With full access to the leisure facilities included in your stay, there’s plenty of things to do to keep the whole family entertained.
Enjoy a gentle wander through our subtropical gardens down to the private foreshore, set out on a guided kayaking or paddleboarding excursion on the river, and discover nearby Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens – two of Cornwall’s most iconic garden attractions. If you love walking, the South West Coast Path is just moments away, offering breathtaking stretches of coastline along the Helford River and beyond.
Unwind back at the hotel in our Natural Health Spa. Drift between the indoor swimming pool, sauna, and outdoor hot tub overlooking the tranquil gardens and golf course, and treat yourself to our range of GAIA spa treatments – thoughtfully designed to restore balance, ease tension, and leave you feeling deeply relaxed.
Golfers can enjoy our 9-hole/18-tee golf course, while others can take to the tennis courts or snooker room for a little friendly competition.
When you’ve worked up an appetite, enjoy local and seasonal menus, dining indoors with tranquil garden views or outdoors on the terrace overlooking the gardens and golf course.
At the end of the day, retreat to comfortable rooms with plenty of space to relax together.
Beachfront adventures
In Newquay, The Esplanade Hotel offers a lively and welcoming base just steps away from the famous Fistral Beach. Spend your days surfing, swimming and strolling along golden sands. Explore Newquay town and its local attractions, and pick up the South West Coast Path for breathtaking walks along the stunning north coast.
After days of fun, head back to The Esplanade Hotel to relax in style. Take a dip in the indoor swimming pool, dine with panoramic sea views, and settle in for a nightcap in Elements Cocktail Bar. Families will love the indoor and outdoor play areas and free kids’ activities on weekends and in the holidays, including movie showings in the in-house cinema.
Together, these two hotels offer a Cornish experience that showcases the charm of two very different shores. Your Coast to Coast Break includes two nights at each hotel, breakfast each morning to set you up for days of adventure and discovery, as well as a South West Coast Path map to help inspire your walks across Cornwall.
