Dated: Thursday 28th March 2024Garden Open Days & Afternoon Tea inside the Castle!
Did you catch us on your screens?
Beyond Paradise is back with a second season which also means that Pentillie is back on our screens! We are very excited to watch the new season unfold with so much mystery and drama. Already in the first episode, we saw plenty of scenic views of Looe, Port Eliot, the Tamar Valley and of course our very own riverside quay on the banks of the River Tamar.
The new season airs every Friday on BBC at 8pm until mid April so there is still time to spot more iconic local sites! Don’t worry if you missed the first episode that aired last Friday on the 22nd, you can catch up now on BBC iPlayer!

New nesting nooks…
Over 120 beautifully crafted bird boxes (for a huge variety of birds including owls, kestrels and willow tits) have been installed around the estate by British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) registered ornithologist Dave Scott and his merry crowd of licensed bird ringers and netters. These miniature mansions are here to provide more shelter and safety for our feathered friends and to enable us to complete a full survey of all the species nesting on the estate.
Volunteers and school groups have been invited to help us complete the survey which is being part funded by Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL).
We're really looking forward to the survey results, which will include migratory as well as local species. We will be sure to share these in due course.

The vibrant colours of Spring
Early Spring always brings so much colour to the gardens, and every year we're excited to see the Narcissus pseudonarcissus Pentillie Duke daffodil appear. It is believed that this vibrant daffodil is unique to Pentillie, generated through natural mutation and hybridisation from the many hundreds of varieties found near the walled garden.
This beautiful butter and primrose yellow ruffled flower was first spotted on the estate in 2012, by the late daffodil specialist Alan Street. The Pentillie Duke was named in honour of the then Head Gardener, Chris Duke who nurtured the Pentillie gardens for 40 years, before his retirement in 2019!
Your Cornish getaway awaits…
Kick off your shoes at the front door, take a dip in our heated outdoor pool, visit some of our favourite spots around the South West and enjoy the views.
We do still have the second May Bank Holiday weekend, and a couple of weeks during the summer holidays available where we can welcome you to the castle for a holiday that everyone, including the dog, will enjoy!
Whether you decide to stay exclusively on the estate for the duration of your stay or you decide to explore beyond the gates, our team will help you plan to make the most of your very own Castle. Whether you decide on the many activities around the estate or you want to explore beyond the gates, our professional team will help you to plan your unforgettable experience.
