This month, our lucky winner and their guest will enjoy a spa stay at the Budock Vean Hotel, plus a visit to Trebah Gardens and a river adventure too
The award-winning four-star Budock Vean Hotel is a hidden gem, set in 65 acres of glorious gardens and woodland high above the tranquil Helford River in South Cornwall.
The hotel, based on the site of a medieval manor house, has been welcoming guests since the 1930s and famous visitors have included the writer Virginia Woolf, who fell in love with the unspoilt coves that line the river. The hotel is ideal for a relaxing break and for exploring the area’s attractions, including the antique shops and galleries of nearby Falmouth, the South West Coast Path, historic towns and villages, beaches and traditional waterside pubs.
YOUR PRIZE
A luxury two-night break for two* in one of the hotel’s superb bedrooms with full Cornish breakfast each morning, a four-course dinner each evening in the beautifully refurbished restaurant, plus full use of the golf and leisure facilities. This great prize includes a one-hour spa treatment each, entry to one of Cornwall’s finest gardens, Trebah, a 26-acre subtropical paradise on the Helford River with its own private beach, just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and a welcoming Cornish cream tea on arrival. The winning couple can also choose from a one-anda-half-hour river cruise courtesy of Helford River Cruises, or a guided kayak or paddle-boarding adventure from Koru Kayaking to explore the river’s hidden creeks and coves.
