Top 5 Bridgerton-worthy Gems
Welcome, gentle reader…
As Netflix’s Bridgerton prepares to grace our screens once more on 29th January 2026, society finds itself once again aflutter with anticipation. From whispered scandals to sweeping estates, the series has reignited our collective love affair with grandeur, romance, and homes that feel worthy of a promenade or two.
In celebration of the new season, we turn our gaze west, away from Mayfair’s ballrooms and toward Cornwall’s most enchanting retreats. Had Lady Whistledown known of these Cornish Gems, one suspects her Society Papers may have been written with sea views, sprawling lawns and the occasional hot tub interlude.
Allow us to present our Top 5 Bridgerton-worthy Gems, where every stay promises drama (of the delightful kind), decadence and a most excellent excuse to dress for dinner.
Molesworth Manor, near Padstow
A true leading lady of the Cornish countryside, 18th-century Molesworth Manor is nothing short of swoon-inducing. With grand social spaces made for candlelit feasts and expansive grounds ideal for a leisurely garden promenade, this historic estate invites guests to host with confidence and court with style.
Spend your evenings lingering over long-table dinners, retire to the tasting room as the fire crackles approvingly, or steal away to the cedar-clad hot tub beneath the stars – because even the most composed viscount requires a moment of indulgence.
Elynglas, Cubert
Tucked behind the privacy of an established walled garden, Elynglas is a masterclass in quiet elegance. This beautifully restored Grade II listed former Vicarage blends period charm with refined modern comforts, offering the sort of slow, graceful living that would earn even Queen Charlotte’s approval. Picture fizz poured freely in the garden, unhurried dinners that stretch long into the evening, and fireside conversations that warm both heart and soul. A most becoming retreat for those who prefer their romance understated, but impeccably styled.
Admiral House, Fowey
For those drawn to the drama of the sea, Admiral House delivers coastal grandeur with impeccable poise. Combining classic country elegance with an unrivalled waterfront setting, this distinguished residence is perfectly suited to garden parties with a salty breeze and alfresco dining overlooking the ever-changing Cornish coast. When the sun dips low, guests may retire to the games room, library, or cinema, because every Bridgerton-worthy gathering deserves both spectacle and sanctuary in equal measure.
Little Cutmadoc Farm, Lanhydrock
If your tastes lean toward pastoral romance, Little Cutmadoc Farm is a rural dream worthy of a heartfelt subplot. Set beside a private lake within the historic Lanhydrock Estate, this refined farmhouse offers seclusion, serenity and scenery that demands lingering glances. With landscaped grounds, a sun-soaked terrace and a lakeside hot tub dappled in woodland light, it is a haven for reconnection and reflection. Wildlife abounds, the pace is unhurried, and every morning feels like the opening chapter of a particularly promising novel.
Rosilian Hall, Flushing
The undisputed diamond of the season, Rosilian Hall is a palatial waterside estate made for grand family gatherings and celebratory stays. Set within 1.6 acres on Flushing’s prestigious waterfront, this lavish yet welcoming home pairs original architectural elegance with modern luxury. From panoramic river views and sun terraces to a private beach complete with kayaks and paddleboards, every detail invites indulgence. Whether hosting alfresco feasts by the water, embarking on a boating adventure, or enjoying the most competitive game of hide and seek imaginable, Rosilian Hall is nothing short of spectacular.
And so, dear reader, whether your Bridgerton fantasy involves hosting the season’s most talked-about soiree or retreating for a discreet romance away from prying eyes, Cornwall offers a setting every bit as captivating as Regency London, with far better views. As Season 4 approaches and anticipation reaches fever pitch, we invite you to step into a story of your own making. Pour the champagne, don your finest attire and escape to a Cornish Gem where elegance, escapism and a touch of scandal are always in excellent supply.
