Gardens Illustrated has teamed up with the Budock Vean Hotel to offer a relaxing two-night stay on the banks of south Cornwall’s tranquil Helford River. Set in 65 acres of glorious gardens and woodland, the award-winning hotel is a hidden gem.

Alongside its beautiful gardens, the four-star hotel offers excellent leisure facilities, including its own nine-hole golf course, a 15m indoor pool, two all-weather tennis courts and a heavenly spa. It is also perfectly placed for exploring the South West Coast Path, and the area’s many historic towns and villages, beaches and traditional waterside pubs.
