The Caerhays Estate, nestled on the south Cornish Coast, has been owned by the Williams family since 1854 and is still very much their home. Surrounded by the world famous Spring Gardens which are renowned for their Camellia and Magnolia collections, the iconic castle with its turrets and castellations has been used as the setting for numerous films and television dramas.

The beautiful Porthluney Beach lies adjacent to the estate along with the SouthWest Coastal path with stunning walks in all directions. Surrounded by rolling green hills, a rugged coastline and picturesque sandy beaches, this is the perfect setting for your magical, timeless holiday.
