Falmouth, Cornwall, January 2026 – Budock Vean Hotel & Spa, the award-winning riverside retreat on Cornwall’s enchanting Helford River, is delighted to introduce its new Tails & Trails Break – a thoughtfully curated two-night escape designed for guests who want to explore Cornwall’s countryside and coastline alongside their four-legged companion.

Set within acres of subtropical gardens and woodland, and boasting a private foreshore on the Helford River, Budock Vean offers an idyllic, dog-friendly setting where scenic riverside strolls, woodland trails and open-air adventures begin right from the hotel door. Dogs are invited to roam, paddle, play and unwind in one of Cornwall’s most beautiful natural landscapes – and they stay free of charge.
The two-night Tails & Trails package includes comfortable accommodation, daily breakfast and evening dinner, plus a host of thoughtful canine extras. On arrival, dogs are welcomed with their very own Harbour Hounds doggy dry robe – included for them to take home – perfect for warming up after riverside walks, woodland rambles and muddy adventures along the trails and a special doggy gift set, complete with treats and a toy.
Dogs are treated as guests in their own right at Budock Vean, with a charming stick library to indulge riverside games of fetch along the private foreshore. Four-legged companions are also welcome in the dog-friendly Conservatory, while in-room dining is also available at no extra charge — making mealtimes easy and inclusive.
Beyond the trails, (human) guests can unwind in the hotel’s Natural Health Spa, enjoy complimentary access to the 9-hole/18-tee golf course, tennis courts and snooker room, or simply soak up the peaceful riverside setting that makes Budock Vean such a treasured Cornish hideaway.
Further reflecting the hotel’s commitment to Cornwall’s great outdoors, Budock Vean Hotel has also joined the South West Coast Path Mile Maker scheme, helping to maintain one mile of the iconic trail for a full year. The initiative supports the preservation of one of the UK’s most loved walking routes, encouraging guests to explore the coastline responsibly while giving back to the landscapes they enjoy.
