Boconnoc Estate
A private Cornish estate near Lostwithiel with a church, parkland and exclusive use weddings.
Boconnoc Estate
Boconnoc is a private estate in south east Cornwall, close to the town of Lostwithiel. It sits in large parkland with a Georgian house, cottages and gardens, and it is hired for weddings on an exclusive basis.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
Boconnoc because the whole estate is yours for the length of your booking, from one to three nights. That means no other guests and no one watching, so you can arrive, dress, celebrate and relax as a couple with your chosen people. The estate also has its own church and a choice of indoor and outdoor ceremony spots, which gives you real options about how formal the ceremony feels.
Ceremonies
The estate has its own church, around 800 years old, as well as other indoor and outdoor places to marry. Ask the team which options fit your plans and your guest numbers.
Receptions and food
Boconnoc House has four reception rooms. The wedding breakfast seats up to 100 guests, and a marquee extension can raise the number to 240. The Stable Yard hosts a party night before the wedding. The estate keeps a list of recommended suppliers for food and drink.
Staying
Up to 54 guests can sleep on the estate, across Boconnoc House, The Stewardry and three cottages. Your guests wake up where the celebration happened, which makes the weekend feel relaxed.
Getting there and the area
Lostwithiel has a station on the main line through Cornwall, and Fowey, Bodmin and Liskeard are all within reach. The estate is secluded, so plan transport for guests who are not staying on site.
Weddings here usually run over a weekend rather than a single afternoon. You could use the first night for a relaxed supper or a party in the Stable Yard, then keep the second day for the ceremony and wedding breakfast. A third night suits a slow farewell brunch. The parkland and gardens give guests room to walk between events, and the team can talk you through how each night is used.
Good to know
- Exclusive use is offered for one, two or three nights.
- The estate holds a sustainable wedding accreditation.
- Whole estate sleeps up to 54 guests.
