Explore Cornwall.
Come home to Trehellas.
A country house hotel in Washaway, between Bodmin and Wadebridge. Spend your days discovering riverside trails, historic houses and the North Cornish coast, then return for a comfortable night and a meal in our restaurant.
Days out near Bodmin and Wadebridge
You don’t have to pack every day with plans. Choose a walk, a house and garden to explore, or a harbour town to wander around. Trehellas gives you a base for mixing countryside days with visits to the coast.
These are some ideas for your stay. Follow the official links for current opening times, tickets and access information before setting off. Ask our team if you would like help deciding what to do.
The Camel Trail
Follow the former railway route through the Camel Valley, linking Wenfordbridge, Bodmin, Wadebridge and Padstow. Choose a section for a walk or cycle ride rather than trying to cover the whole trail in one day.
The Wadebridge-to-Padstow section follows the estuary towards the coast. Arrange cycle hire and check your starting point before you travel; Trehellas is a base for visiting the trail, rather than a hotel directly on it.
Bodmin Jail
Explore Cornwall’s prison history through the historic buildings and immersive displays at Bodmin Jail. It’s an option for a day focused on Bodmin’s heritage, or a change of plan when you would prefer an indoor attraction.
Check the attraction’s own information about tickets, accessibility and suitability for your group before booking.
Lanhydrock House and Estate
Lanhydrock offers a Victorian country house, gardens and a wider estate to explore. Take time over the house, enjoy a garden visit or look at the walking and cycling options around the estate.
There are different ways to visit, so check which parts are open and what your ticket includes. The National Trust publishes accessibility information to help you plan.
Pencarrow House and Gardens
Pencarrow is another choice for guests who enjoy historic houses and gardens. Explore its formal gardens and woodland, or check the house-tour options when planning your visit.
The house, gardens and events have their own schedules. Check Pencarrow’s current visitor information rather than assuming everything is open on the same days.
Wadebridge and the River Camel
Spend some time in Wadebridge, browse the town and combine your visit with a section of the Camel Trail. It’s a natural starting point for exploring the estuary towards Padstow.
For a slower day, keep the plan simple: a wander around town, a stop for something to eat and a walk before returning to Trehellas.
Padstow and the North Cornish coast
Make a day of Padstow’s harbour, shops and coastal setting. You can also combine a visit with the Camel Trail, choosing a route and pace that suit you.
For time beside the sea, plan a coastal outing around the weather and your preferred walking distance. Visit Cornwall has local information to help you choose where to go.
A room to return to
After a day out, make yourself at home in one of our individually named bedrooms. Choose a cosy double, a room for a solo trip or the spacious Courtroom Suite. Selected bedrooms welcome dogs; contact us before booking to arrange a suitable room.
Keep the evening easy with a table in our restaurant. Browse the menus and book your meal alongside your stay. Breakfast and other meal inclusions depend on your chosen rate.
