Take a spring break and relax the Cornish way

The Budock Vean hotel invites guests to treat themselves to a Spring Break and relax the Cornish way. On the water, on foot or in the spa, there is something for everyone. The Dolphin and Whale Watching Break promises to add a dash of adventure to a three night stay.

Orca Sea Safaris will take guests out to sea to view Cornwall’s rich marine life such as Grey Atlantic seals, Bottlenose dolphins and Minke whales. Or gently cruise down the Helford River and view the abundant wildlife. From £225 per person for a three night stay inclusive of room, breakfast and dinner.

For those more interested in pure physical exercise, the Walking Break (27th April – 1st May 2008 inclusive) is a must. Six leisurely paced walks with guides from ‘walkitcornwall’ cover 2 to 4 miles each day over three days. Discover on foot Cornwall’s unique natural history and culture, industrial and nautical heritage and explore the local history of Methodism, migration and mining. From £550 per person for a five night stay inclusive of room, breakfast and dinner.

The Budock Vean Runaway Retreat will suit guests looking to relax in a very gentle way. In the Natural Health Spa the organic, pure and natural messages are delivered hands-on. Dedicated to relaxation, rejuvenation and good health, all the products and techniques used are conducive to well-being. Complement the full Body Massage with a Budock Vean Head Massage, Mini Aroma Facial or a Mini Manicure. Use of the sauna, swimming pool, outdoor hot tub, tennis and golf facilities are also included as part of the two day stay Runaway Retreat and prices range from £204 to £269 per person (inclusive of breakfast, dinner and room).

Three times winner of Cornwall’s Hotel of the Year Award and proud holder of a Gold Award for Green Tourism, the Budock Vean is a family owned, four star, country house hotel set in 65 beautiful acres of privately owned land on a quiet bend of the Helford River on the south Cornish Coast. The hotel has wonderful leisure facilities including a nine-hole golf course, tennis courts, a 15m indoor pool, a sauna, an outside hot tub and a Natural Health Spa to beat all health spas. Boating trips, scuba diving, sea-faris, clay pigeon shooting and visits to nearby glorious Cornish gardens easily fill the day.
