We loved absolutely everything! Sancreed House isn't called a 'retreat' for nothing! Our whole 4 day experience was relaxing, restful, and refreshing. The owners, Grove & and Pablo, are both amazing people! They have managed to create an environment that takes the very best care if everyone and their individual needs, and they achieve this beautifully without a heavy or overly obvious presence. If you need them or have a question, you can message them and get an immediate response. Their ability to know what you need before you need it is almost uncanny! Although I am sure it has much more to do with the fact that they are both exceptional at their jobs and pay hugely detailed attention to their clearly defined roles in the venture.

Pablo's understanding and natural flair in the kitchen are awesome. This also extends far beyond superb and thoughtful culinary skills, which he undoubtedly brings to the cuisine he applies to the magnificent and extensive breakfast choices, as his understanding and care around food allergies is second to none. We have rarely enjoyed such lovely and uncomplicated meals together due to gluten intolerance, which was afforded to us via the choices on the breakfast menu. There was no need to worry or be anxious about the chef's understanding of this, and we were able to just relax and eat together and share wonderful food.

Next, but equally impressively, is the other half of this wonderful partnership, the super hospitable Grove, for whom nothing is too much trouble! We were welcomed by him as we arrived on the drive, with a smile and a warm and sincere handshake that instantly reassures you that you've made a good decision to be at Sancreed House! Having witnessed how incredibly incessantly and hard these two lovely people work to ensure and maintain the supremely high standards of their business, it was so impressive that each and every guest was received in this personal and kindly way.

Checking in was simple, and the warmth of this partnership is immediately evident. Their beautifully restored home is a perfect vision of Georgian architecture with original features and calming decor. You can sit and take afternoon tea in the drawing room whilst watching the birds, or you can sit out on the terrace and breathe in the perfume of the flowers admiring the flora and fauna in the fabulously maintained and extensive gardens. Either way, you can enjoy the feeling of restfulness and be surrounded by a sense of well-being and careful luxury.

But, as much as I could continue praising this diamond of a find in terms of accommodation in Penwith, I will leave you with my very first thought upon entering the house. This place overwhelmingly smells of 'well'. Not only do you relax the second you set foot in the place, but it all just gets better! The carefully created serenity, elegance, and poise of Sancreed House Retreat is completely genuine and tangible, and we absolutely can not wait to visit again.

Thank you, Grove & Pablo. We have had genuinely and sincerely a perfect break. More than just somewhere to stay, Sancreed House is a sanctuary of peace, regeneration, and kindly calmness. This doesn't just happen! This is the product of great care, attention to detail, and most importantly, an authentic grasp and innate understanding of the kind of hospitality that creates wellness and a feeling that their visitors are valued and their reasons for coming to this glorious spot are appreciated.

If you can find an available date, book it!
