A lovely Georgian house with beautiful gardens set out by Marion & Peter Stanley over a ten year period from 1994, this bed & breakfast was recently taken over by Erik & Sue Thorbek, originally from Kent, and their live-in chef, Anthony Taylor.
The hosts invite you to roam the immaculate house as if it was your own, but personally we felt very aware that it was their house and not ours, and never could get very comfortable. It's quite a posh establishment, full of silver nick knacks and antique furniture, and topped off with a surprisingly large amount of chintz. Rooms are smallish and a bit creaky (well it is an old house) but well supplied, although we found the beds too soft for a good nights sleep.
The food ranged from above average to very good, but the one dinner we had never reached the promised Michelin starred level we had hoped for. The wine on the other hand did, even though we only had the chance to sample the house wine. Apparently the house boasts an extensive cellar.
Overall it's an expensive place to stay and we didn't feel it was worth the money. It seemed to be aimed at a 'posher' visitor than us and with so many other recommended places to stay nearby it's hard to see why you would choose Landewednack House over others. If you're particularly posh yourself it'll probably suit, otherwise I'd look elsewhere. read more
