The place
This is a gorgeous part of Cornwall to spend a few days in. Not just the southern coast, which tends to be the quieter side of the county, but the grand estate of Boconnoc itself, which feels like a world of its own. There are great walks through the many parts of the land where you can let dogs off the lead and the coastal path, beaches or the banks of the river Fowey for scenic days out. At the heart of it all is the impressive Boconnoc estate, with the Head Groom’s House one building in what’s almost its own village. Several other parts of the estate are let and you might meet other guests as you come and go or if you use the communal laundry room, but you’ll have your place all to yourself. Its classic country style has splashes of contemporary colour here and there and it’s a space where you arrive, choose your sofa, settle the dog by the wood burner and feel instantly at home.
