THE SANCTUARY CORNWALL, Golant

The Sanctuary Cornwall holds the Green Tourism Gold Award and the Cornwall Gold Tourism Award for its sustainable practices. The hotel operates entirely off-grid on 12 acres of private woodland, using solar power and natural water sources. A network of nature trails connects the property to Fowey and Lostwithiel.

The hotel has four en-suite bedrooms, including standard twin, superior twin, and triple room with shower, most with private outdoor terraces. Rooms are furnished with parquet floors, free toiletries, and offer direct views over the Fowey Estuary. The accommodation is adults-only and provides wheelchair-accessible facilities for guests with reduced mobility.

Breakfast is a locally sourced continental meal served in the breakfast room or delivered to the room. Guests order breakfast the night before and find a homemade welcome cake waiting on arrival. The hotel grows produce in its own permaculture gardens, and hosts share knowledge of local practices over breakfast.

The Eden Project is 11 km from the hotel, and St Catherines Castle is 7 km away. Restormel Castle is 9 km from the property. Guests can access the Saints Way Trail directly from the grounds, and guided walks with local experts are available on request.

The hotel provides a dedicated pet-friendly environment accommodating dogs and their needs. The property offers accessible parking for guests with reduced mobility and an electric vehicle charging station. The lack of light pollution allows for deep-sky stargazing from the private terraces.
