Trenython Manor Resort

Set in 24 acres of beautiful landscaped grounds and woodland areas with panoramic views overlooking St. Austell Bay, Trenython Manor Resort has earned the reputation of being one of the premier locations on the Cornish Riviera for fine dining, comfortable accommodation and total relaxation. The elegant manor itself has tremendous character, featuring many exquisite Italian details, particularly in the magnificent entrance hall.

The Egyptian pillars standing inside the front door originated from the Temple of Ephesus and are said to be thousands of years old. Trenython Manor is an architectural treasure, in 1872 an Italian architect commissioned by General Garibaldi, who is often called the father of the modern Italy, designed the building. Other notable objects that can still be seen today include General Wolf’s Headboard, Lord Nelson’s Sea Chest, the dining room walls with carved oak panels and some Italian marbles sent over by Garibaldi which are now in the restaurant.

Tastefully renovated to the highest standards, the resort combines Italian architecture with English charm to offer an oasis of tranquillity and a truly unique holiday experience. The extensive range of on-site facilities includes two restaurants, a bar, private dinning room, conference room, a fully equipped indoor swimming pool, sauna and Gym, while Spa treatment rooms offer the ultimate in relaxation and rejuvenation.

The Manor is also licensed to host civil ceremony in a variety of settings; the Gott Suite, a converted chapel with beautiful stained-glass windows and a coastal scene backdrop. Or the Du Maurier Suite with wrap around windows and doors leading out onto the splendid sun terrace. A dedicated co-ordinator who will help with every last detail of the wedding day.
