Clare’s passion for Boconnoc, its history, surroundings and the Boconnoc Community is evident in the part she has played in making Boconnoc what it is today. Deeply rooted in Cornwall and the natural beauty it offers, she is committed to preserving the environment and the history of Boconnoc as well as promoting the philosophy of sustainability. Helping take Boconnoc into the future, her work in healthcare has given her an understanding of the profound impact that nature has on health and wellbeing. She sees Boconnoc as a place of restoration and renewal.
In her spare time Clare enjoys swimming in the sea and trips around the country in her camper van.
Elizabeth and her late husband Anthony embarked on the ambitious 12 year renovation of Boconnoc House in 2002. One December evening Anthony stopped the car at the top of the drive and shone the lights on the dilapidated Boconnoc House, “One day we will have electricity in the house”. To this day she is still delighted each time the lights come on. Elizabeth continues to run Boconnoc House and the Estate with her two daughters Clare and Sarah. Elizabeth always says this is a house that says, “If you take care of me, I’ll take care of you.”
Elizabeth is passionate about trees and gardens and has a love of the history of the estate.
As an interior designer Sarah’s unique style and vision has brought the properties at Boconnoc to life. Taking inspiration from her time spent between Cornwall and Africa, her eclectic designs are full of vibrancy and colour which has been infused across the main house and cottages on the estate. Sarah has a love of travel, Africa and is inspired hugely by natures palette which is featured across many of her fabrics, wallpaper and interior design.

Louise takes care of all your needs through-out your wedding weekend. Once handover is complete from Emily to Louise, she seamlessly blends into the background, but will always be there when you need her. From arrival at Boconnoc to the last dance, there is no-one who cares more about your day.
When not at Boconnoc Louise loves cooking, walking, wild swimming and a good glass of sauvignon blanc.
Those immaculate lawns and perfectly pruned blooms don’t just manage themselves. Stuart our gardener and all round lovely chap, has an incredibly keen eye for all things green.
