The
Vean is a fully serviced luxury country house retreat
with everything you would expect from a five star
hotel.
The interior of The Vean has been restored and furnished
as an elegant period Georgian country house with the
addition of the most modern heating and plumbing systems
designed to provide the highest standards of luxury
and comfort. The kitchen is designed both for family
and for semi-commercial use.
The Drawing Room
This is a light, elegant but comfortable room with
access to the verandah. The walls are painted in 'Cornish
Clay', a soft grey / green and the curtains are pale
gold silk hung from beautifully hand painted poles.
It is furnished with Georgian period pieces including
wing chairs, card table and corner cupboard. There
are two sofas which have been specially made for the
drawing room and covered in Zoffany fabric. The lighting
is created by antique table and standard lamps with
a huge crystal chandelier taking centre stage. The
open fire will be lit during the autumn and winter
months.
The Dining Room
This room leads on to the Drawing Room and is decorated
in a similar colour scheme. The handmade mahogany,
Chippendale style dining table and ladder back chairs
have been specially commissioned for The Vean and
seat up to 20 guests. The Georgian style chairs are
upholstered in green and gold. There is a beautiful
period corner cupboard for drinks and glasses and
a serpentine side table between the windows. The walls
are hung with carefully chosen portraits and mirrors.
The Sitting Room
This room is cosy and informal - a place to sit and
relax, read a book, watch television or play cards.
The walls are painted a deep green and the original
tub sofa is covered in a rich gold and green fabric.
There is a large screen television including sky subscription
which can also be used to project videos and DVD's
to give a cinema effect. This room also serves as
a children's playroom with a cupboard full of games
and toys.
The Kitchen
This room has been thoughtfully designed to reflect
the simple early Eighteenth century style but at the
same time containing the very latest quality kitchen
appliances and equipment. It is built to a commercial
standard but still retains a domestic feel with a
wonderful 18 century butler's cupboard and specially
commissioned cherry wood table and chairs for less
formal dining.
The Bedrooms
The eight bedrooms have been individually designed
in the late Georgian style, each one unique, with
a character of it's own. They have beautifully interlined
curtains, antique mirrors, desks or dressing tables
all carefully chosen. The rooms are named after farmhouses
on the Caerhays Estate and over the years new rhododendron
hybrids bred in the Castle gardens have also been
given these names. The bedrooms will be hung with
pictures of both the farmhouse and the rhododendron
they are named after. These include Penvose, Nancor,
Polgrain, Treluckey on the first floor and Rosevallon,
Treberrick, Penvergate and Trevennen on the second
floor. All the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with
limestone floors, simple but elegant fixtures and
fittings and luxurious bath towels.
