Ideally located between Bodmin Moor and the coast, the Boconnoc Estate offers unbeatable access to Cornwall’s vibrant countryside. Don’t forget to bring your wellies because one of the best things to do here is to get outside. Eggs In A Basket is perfect for a large family or gathering of friends. Sequester yourself away in a peaceful corner of the estate and enjoy sweeping views across the parkland from the patio. Spend a spring day exploring the grounds, collect your eggs for breakfast or find tonight’s dinner growing in the market garden. We’d recommend requesting the in-house chef for your feasting needs. The more adventurous among you can make the most of the foraging spots and harvest handfuls of wild garlic to cook themselves. After a day of activity, switch off and relax inside. The playful decor by Sarah Fortescue features furnishings sourced both locally and around the globe. We love the dining table made from oak sourced directly from the estate.
