Budock Vean Hotel

Dirty disgusting unhygienic Spa!!! No sun loungers for booked spa days! Had to wait to get one! Not enough cushions for sun loungers and the ones we could find available were dirty, moldy and damaged! Grate around hot tub broken and dangerous! I made staff aware on a previous visit, no repairs had taken place, yet hot tub still in Use! Dirty, moldy, smelly carpet surrounding the pool!!!!!! Dirty, rusty doors and windows! Dirty sauna ! Pool water green tinged! Pool stairs unsteady! Impossible to relax in this spa !! Manager uninterested!! Spa receptionist‘Tasha’ helpful and professional , only staff member that was! My advice avoid this spa at all costs!!!

We started the days with a relaxing swim in the warm indoor pool, then sat outside in the hot tub, chatting about what to do for the day. Played some golf, took a walk to jetty and onwards to the ferryboat inn, took a boat tour around the river and creeks, visited kynance cove, pendennis and trebah gardens. All only short drives away! Very friendly place and had a couple of very nice dinners in the restaurant.

First class stay,bedroom and service excellent. Dinner was tasty and filling. Good walk down to the shore . Massive bed with large pillows seperate we to bathroom which is always good when two are staying together. Recommended to friends and family

I really do hope they pay their staff well as they were the only reason I wasn’t furious at spending over £300 to stay at a tired, unclean and outdated hotel. The staff here were second to none, and we could not have asked for more from them. They’re an absolute credit to the hotel and I hope they get most of the fee, seeing as the money clearly isn’t being spent on updating the hotel facilities. The rooms have not been updated in many many many years, there’s one very small television which is connected via Ariel so don’t expect to be able to watch anything other than a few grainy channels. The decor, fittings and appliances are dusty and from the 80s. The bathroom in the room was grotty so I could barely have a shower without touching old limescaly fittings. But worst of all, the swimming pool area is vile. It’s carpeted, severely unhygienic and the pool doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned since the 90s with black dirt all through the grouted tiles. The carpet around the pool is mouldy and wet leading to the hot tub (which has broken pieces of plastic all around it so I only imagine a very cheap type model as they said in other reviews it’s been updated?). If I was staying in one of the updated rooms (as there seem to be some based on the hotels other reviews, I would be furious to pay and find that “spa” awaiting me”. The gardeners however obviously do a very good job and the reception staff and waiting staff were very very attentive. They can’t help the poor facilities. There was not a clean plate in sight for breakfast, the plastic cabinets and containers are obviously not regularly cleaned so everything just needs a good scrub. The food however was ok. Would not recommend at all.

After looking for a hotel around Falmouth Budock Vean looked like it would be a good stay. It has great facilities; tennis, table tennis, snooker room, swimming pool, golf course and a boat trip. The food was absolutely sensational and the staff were friendly. The room was clean and lovely to stay in.

Sub tropical gardens that leads to a very unspoiled cove , a magical amble , just the thing to put you in the holiday mood , when returning up to the Hotel you are welcomed by attentive staff catering to your every whim if you like myself are a coffee lover you are in for a treat also the scones with cream and jam are the icing on the cake.

Another Budock Vean brilliant holiday, thank you to all of the team at the Budock Vean hotel for making our holiday special We have been many times to this hotel and have NEVER been disappointed as it is truly one of our favourites For a start the location is gorgeous and a stroll to the foreshore seems soothing and restorative in itself I give constant praise to the food which is fresh and of top quality , the bedrooms are so very comfortable, we had a signature room but over the years must have had just about every room in the hotel and have never been disappointed. All staff are worthy of praise from the moment we walk to reception to when we say goodbye , thank you all so much We come back time after time and over the many years we have loved this hotel and hope to keep returning

We had a very happy two days at the hotel. The room was very clean and welcoming to the two of us and to our two dogs. The staff were friendly and in particular they were friendly to well behaved dogs, who were able to have excellent local walks in the woods that belong to the hotel. We had two evening meals and two breakfast meals. All the food was excellent. well prepared and served by very friendly staff. The rack of lamb was particularly well prepared and cooked to perfection.

The lovely Wendel on reception made our stay! Wendel upgraded our room which was so kind. Wendel made sure we were well informed of all of the activities open to us, dress codes, menu options and local attractions. Our evening meal in the conservatory was served by John. He was good at his job. Terry on the bar was direct, knowledgeable and functional. We were looked after by Neva at breakfast.(I'm sorry if I have your name wrong) Neva was cheerful and helpful. Overall a lovely stay. Thank you everyone.
