However; whilst retaining the charm and dignity of a former age; Dolvean House offers you a warm welcome and all the modern amenities expected by today's traveller.

Other local attractions include; Pendennis Castle; The National Maritime Museum in Cornwall; Trebah; Glendurgan; Trelissick Gardens; St Mawes Castle or Flushing by ferry; boat trips to Truro or across the bay to the Helford River; and Frenchman's Creek For the more adventurous; have a go at scuba diving; try windsports; learn to sail; hire a motor boat; or even hire a Morgan sports car for a day! Head off northwards; and visit the amazing Eden Project; or the famous Lost Gardens of Heligan. And while you're in the St Austell area; take a look at the lovely little port of Charlestown nearby. Slightly further north is the Bodmin and Wenford Steam Railway; and Lanhydrock House (National Trust) Go south; and see the rugged beauty of the Lizard peninsula; and wonder at the World's largest satellite station at Goonhilly. On the way; you'll pass the huge naval airbase at R.N.A.S. Culdrose. There are lots of little fishing villages and coves to explore down here. We particularly like Church Cove and Dollar Cove; down a little lane opposite R.N.A.S. Culdrose towards Gunwalloe.
