My stay at Budock Vean was incredibly relaxing, with the serene ambiance and beautiful grounds being standout features. The dining experience was largely fantastic, particularly the four-course dinner, though some aspects of the dinner menu could have been improved. While my upgraded room was lovely and well-appointed, there were slight inconsistencies in service that need addressing. Overall, this was a rejuvenating getaway, and I’m eager to return.
