Julie was extraordinarily welcoming and helpful. She even stayed late to make sure we were settled! Roaring fire on arrival. Gorgeous bath and luxurious bed!

Location fantastic. Property steeped in history now run by the current family owner. Comfortable super-king bed with gorgeous view over the grounds and Tamar river. Staff extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Will be definitely retuning...

If looking for an exclusive wedding location, to celebrate a special birthday or anniversary, or simply gather your family and friends together, Pentillie provides the perfect setting for the most memorable experience! Offering individually styled bedrooms, all first-floor rooms have stunning views of the River Tamar across to Devon or of the historic gardens. Our ground floor bedroom has a wet room facility to enable disabled access. Most bedrooms can be twinned if requested. Guests have use of the AGA kitchen to cook their meals or dine alfresco using the BBQ with outdoor seating on the terrace overlooking the River Tamar. Spend summer days relaxing by the outdoor solar heated swimming pool or enjoy winter nights in the Drawing Room by the large open fire. Keep entertained in our games room with widescreen TV, billiards, table tennis and dartboard. Guests can explore the 55-acres of woodland gardens with many walks around the Estate, including paths down to the picturesque Bathing Hut on the quay, or up to Sir James Tillie's mysterious mausoleum. Well behaved dogs are welcomed.
In the heart of Tamar Valley AONB, the Castle is set within the private Pentillie Estate on the Cornwall & Devon border, overlooking the River Tamar. Pentillie Castle is a perfect country venue to use as a base to explore the very best of the West country, with sandy beaches, Dartmoor National Park, Eden Project and quintessential Cornish villages all within a short drive.
