Tas Gwynn, St Buryan

Tas Gwynn, St Buryan Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Tas Gwynn, St Buryan, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from this converted rectory tucked away on Langarth Road. But you know what? Sometimes the best discoveries are the ones that surprise you. This four-star property sits in one of those quintessentially Cornish villages where time seems to move a bit slower, and the moment you step inside, you understand why couples keep coming back here. The building itself has this wonderful sense of history — you can feel the character in every beam and stone.

The Perfect Cornish Hideaway

Saint Buryan might not be on everyone’s radar, but that’s exactly what makes it special. I mean, you’re literally a stone’s throw from some of Cornwall’s most dramatic coastline, yet you feel completely removed from the tourist crowds. The village has this authentic charm that you just can’t manufacture — there’s a proper pub, ancient church, and winding lanes that lead to coastal paths. What really struck me is how Saint Buryan gives you easy access to both Penzance and Land’s End without feeling like you’re staying in a tourist trap.

The Room Experience

My room was exactly what you’d hope for in a converted rectory — spacious, thoughtfully decorated, and with those little touches that show someone actually cares about the guest experience. The beds are genuinely comfortable (and I’m picky about mattresses), and the bathrooms are modern without losing the building’s character. Actually, what impressed me most was the attention to detail — proper lighting for reading, enough outlets where you need them, and windows that frame the Cornish countryside perfectly. You can tell they’ve put real thought into how people actually use these spaces.

Practical Perks That Matter

Here’s something I really appreciated — the parking situation is completely sorted. No circling around looking for a spot or feeding meters every few hours. They’ve got private parking right on site, which honestly makes such a difference when you’re exploring Cornwall by car. The staff genuinely know the area too, so when you ask about coastal walks or where to grab the best pasty, you get real recommendations rather than generic tourist board suggestions. It’s these practical touches that turn a good stay into a great one.

Why Guests Love It

The 10 out of 10 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — you feel it in how everything works seamlessly together. Couples especially seem to fall for this place, and I get it completely. There’s something romantic about staying somewhere with such history and character, while still having all the modern comforts you want. The location strikes that perfect balance between peaceful retreat and accessible base for exploring. Whether you’re planning coastal walks, visiting nearby attractions, or simply wanting to experience authentic Cornwall away from the crowds, Tas Gwynn delivers without trying too hard to impress.
