About The Vean
A drink in the garden or at the on-site bar sets the tone at The Vean, a restored Georgian country house at Caerhays, near St Austell. There's a kitchen for guests too, and outdoor seating makes the most of the garden views towards Caerhays Castle Gardens, giving the place a relaxed, easy-going feel rather than a formal hotel one.
The Vean has eight rooms, and with 24 hour reception on hand, arrivals and late nights are never a problem. Free on-site parking is provided, and pets are welcome, which suits guests exploring the Cornish coast with dogs in tow.
Beyond the garden, the surrounding area offers walking and cycling routes, fishing, and watersports nearby, while a pub, restaurant and other eateries within reach mean there's no shortage of places to eat out if you fancy a change from the bar. It's a straightforward base for exploring this stretch of Cornwall, close to the coast and set among its own grounds at Caerhays.
What guests say
We were married at the Caerhays Coastguard Lookout in April 2026 and stayed at The Vean for three days with our closest friends and family. It was absolutely fantastic. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was huge and incredibly well equipped and nothing was too much trouble for the Caerhays team.

Absolutely perfect! The warmest and most wonderful welcome by Luke who was a FANTASTIC host. From the moment we arrived we felt looked after. The beautiful and tranquil setting allowed you to relax and chill. The breakfast was delicious with excellent choices. The bedroom and bathroom were large and tastefully decorated. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning. Many thanks 😊

Five stars for a reason, beautifully restored/rebuilt country house in the most amazing setting. The manager, Luke Tyler showed professionalism and hospitality at its absolute finest. Every detail was catered for and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend whether for prestige B&B or a special occasion private hire.

What a venue, photographed a wedding here, such beautiful grounds and was a hot one. The couple had a marquee by the beach and it was stunning the whole day even with a little rain. Photos are from the beach not from the vean itself.
