Reviews
Located in a quiet village about 10 minute drive from Penzance, Sancreed is everything you need as a base for exploring this region of Cornwall. Alternatively you can just relax in the stunning gardens surrounding the house. Our hosts, Pablo and Grove couldn't have done any more to make our stay enjoyable. Their services, breakfast and general advice was priceless. The house is decked with items of interest that a visit to the lounge or breakfast room made it an adventure every time.
Our stay at Sancreed House was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. What truly sets this place apart is the incredible care and attention to detail in every aspect of the experience.
The location is simply wonderful — peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for a true retreat. The facilities are excellent, especially the covered pool, which added so much to the relaxing atmosphere.
Pablo and Grove are amazing - you can genuinely feel the passion, warmth, and hospitality they put into everything they do.
Sancreed House feels personal, calm, and welcoming. Highly recommended!

It's particularly difficult to add to the other reviews on here, because they already so perfectly encapsulate what a beautiful, and perfect experience it is to stay at the Sancreed House Retreat.
Staying at the Sancreed was the most relaxed I've been in my entire life. Everything has been so carefully thought through by Pablo and Grove, and they are both so knowledgeable on both the area and everything you could possibly want from a relaxing stay.
The rooms, facilities, service and food are all faultless, and I spent much of our car journey home trying to think of anything that could be improved... and I came up empty. A brilliant few days - and if you're hesitating in the slightest to stay here, don't.
Brilliant - and I know whenever we head back down we'll only consider staying here. Thank you again.

We had a wonderful stay at Sancreed House. It’s set in a lovely, quiet location with a beautiful garden that made it feel incredibly relaxing from the moment we arrived.
There were so many thoughtful touches, like the bath salts, which really helped us unwind during our stay. The home-cooked breakfast was absolutely amazing — made with quality ingredients and clear attention to detail. We also really appreciated the minimal waste approach, which was refreshing to see.
Sancreed House is truly a gem, and we’ll definitely be returning now that we’ve discovered you!
Thank you again,
