Pentillie Castle The ultimate house party tour

Where grandeur meets intimacy, and every guest feels at home.

Step into the timeless elegance of Pentillie Castle, a 17th-century country house nestled in 55 acres of Repton-designed woodland gardens on the Cornish bank of the River Tamar.
With exclusive use of the castle, its solar-heated outdoor pool, and sweeping grounds,
this is not just a tour—it’s a private house party in one of England’s most enchanting estates.

Your Home from Home

Built in 1698, Pentillie Castle blends stately architecture with warm hospitality. Each luxury bedroom is unique in size and character, adding to the charm of this intimate gathering. Whether you’re lounging in the drawing room’s deep, inviting sofas or strolling through the award-winning gardens to the historic Mausoleum, every moment is steeped in comfort and discovery.

Relax, Explore, Indulge

  • Unwind by the outdoor pool, surrounded by birdsong and woodland views.
  • Meander through 55 acres of landscaped gardens and riverside walks.
  • Enjoy fireside chats, leisurely breakfasts, and dinners in the castle’s elegant dining room.
