Pentillie Castle (built in 1698) is a family-run private hire and wedding venue set in the middle of the Repton designed woodland gardens on the Cornish bank of the River Tamar.
Since opening in 2009 the Coryton family and their team have specialised in offering the friendliest of welcomes, accommodating up to 22 guests in the 11 individually styled bedrooms with spectacular views.
Spend summer days relaxing by the outdoor solar heated swimming pool or enjoy winter nights in the Drawing Room by the large open fire. Explore the 55-acres of woodland gardens and keep entertained in our games room with widescreen TV, billiards, table tennis and dartboard.

Schools and educational groups from across Cornwall and Devon are always very welcome at Pentillie. The Coryton family believe that the Castle’s rich history and wonderful landscape should be shared with local communities. This shared knowledge will be vital to preserving Pentillie’s legacy. As part of any educational visit, school and further education groups will have the opportunity to look at the following:
- Flora – wide variety of tree, plant and flower species.
- Fauna – insects, birds and animals (both farmed and wild).
- Geographical features – including tidal river, promontories, valleys, woodland and parkland.
- History – including historical buildings such as the mausoleum and kitchen garden, the history of the Castle and Coryton family.
For further information on school visits call the office on 01579 350044, or email the team.
