Kilbol
Country House is a small cottage style country hotel set in the
tranquil seclusion of its own five acre grounds deep in the
beautiful countryside of the Polmassick valley near Mevagissey,
Cornwall. Our closest neighbour being Polmassick vineyard and
the nearby dear farm. Bounded southward by the river Luney, it
is a wonderful place to see the varied flora and fauna of
Cornwall. It is within two miles of the Lost Gardens of Heligan
and close to the Eden Project and the fishing village of
Mevagissey; other major Cornish Gardens are just a short trip
away.
All
rooms are double or twin with en-suite facilities. Each room is
different but offers the same facilities: Colour remote TV,
direct dial telephone, hairdryers, tea/coffee making facilities
and complimentary toiletries.Kilbol Country House Hotel Restaurant
Food
is very important to us and because we are
relatively small we offer only the freshest of
local produce cooked to order by Aga. Local fish
and shellfish feature on the menu alongside
other traditional dishes.
The Kilbol Country House Hotel Restaurant is open for guests and non-guests alike, with a Daily Menu featuring at least a meat or fish as well as a vegetarian main course. The menu will generally offer four starters, four main courses, four sweets and a cheese board. It is very important to stress that this menu changes every day (all courses). We make the most of the FRESHEST, LOCAL SEASONAL PRODUCE.
In addition to the daily menu we also have a "Green Menu" this menu is made up of "specialities" and fish and as such require 24hrs to source, prepare and cook and also generally has a supplementary charge to reflect the higher cost of the particular food. Examples would be LOBSTER, CRAB, SCALLOPS, OYSTERS, ANY OTHER FISH etc.
For
most of the summer season, much of the fruit and
vegetables used in the restaurant are grown in
our own kitchen garden and are picked just
minutes before being prepared and cooked.
To describe the type of food we serve here at the hotel... Good English style food but with some restaurant flair and occasional influences from travels around the world.
Vegetarian dishes are always available. Breakfast may consist of fresh free range eggs cooked to order, full English breakfast, kipper or devilled kidneys.
In the summertime hot or cold snacks may be served in the 16th Century bar, in the conservatory or under the shade on the lawn. Morning coffee and cream teas are also served both to residents and non-residents.
Parking - Kilbol has ample car parking alongside the Hotel in a car park which is illuminated at night.
The Hotel does not cater for children under 12 years of age, however dogs of any age are welcome.
