Had a lovely visit. We took the shorter house tour and our guide, Coco, was very knowledgeable. The house and history of the family is very interesting. We had lunch in the stables cafe which is an attractive spot with friendly and helpful people. We also looked around the Priory and walled garden as this was included in the tour price. I'd recommend insect repellent if you're walking outside as I was bitten by mosquitos.

Car boot sale first Sunday of every month..I thought it was £2 per car. It was £2 per person. Going down a very long bumpy path large stones not good for your wheels..It was more like a outdoor antique or flea market then carboot items..lots of cars . Very good items. Very large grounds.. Beautiful house..

This was a lovely little find. Great walk and gardens. The church is a gem and we were lucky enough to see an orchestra practice in there. The courtyard bar and cafe were also lovely and again the day we visited there was a live singer. Wonderful experience and great weather.

Difficult to find but well worth persevering. Cafe in stableyard is pretty and food delicious. Didn't tour house but will be going back to do this. A hidden gem.

We have been coming to Cornwall every year for 35 years and we didn't know about this wonderful hidden gem, we wish we had found it sooner. Port Elliot is a privately occupied stately home in the beautiful village of St Germans and is still owned and lived in by the Elliot family. The story of this home is astonishing, being the longest continuously occupied dwelling in the whole of the UK with a history going back over a thousand years. It truly is a national treasure. The very progressive and exceptionally well connected ancestors of the current Earl have been involved in many major historic events including the abolition of slavery and the establishment of Harvard University. Their story is one of activism and advocacy guided by a strong sense of justice and compassion. We were given a personal tour from a wonderful lady called Coco who took us at a leisurely pace throughout the house encompassing the state rooms, servants quarters and the incredible mural in the round room which took the artist 25 years to complete and is a mesmerising work of wonder. I would also like to say that the guides went above and beyond to accommodate my mum who uses an electric wheelchair, often personally helping her up and down stairs whilst I carried the wheelchair. I do not exaggerate when I state that this was the best house tour we have ever experienced and we are currently sitting in the charming stable block cafe, taking tea and cake and wondering if we have enough time to look at the gardens. A perfect end to a perfect holiday.
