Escape the daily grind in this detached coastal cottage in the heart of Helford village. Decorated to a high standard with lovely unique touches throughout, this beautiful home provides a contemporary stay close to many popular amenities.

Inside the property, you’ll feel right at home whilst still having that getaway feeling. This bright and airy accommodation invites guests to put their feet up whilst unwinding in front of the roaring wood burner in the cosy living room. If your four-legged friend has come along for the ride, then the handy utility is perfect for storing doggie accessories and running through damp dog towels. Continuing on the ground floor, the charming kitchen is equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, including an electric AGA for cooking up feasts for the family. When it’s time to eat, the dining room is a great gathering place, passing plates of homemade creations and clinking glasses to your holiday. Wander upstairs, and you’ll find two restful beds, where neutral tones, ample storage and crisp linens flow through both rooms. On balmy days, enjoy lazy breakfasts in the breeze of the sea air, while views down to the river provide an idyllic eating spot.

From the doorstep of the property, stroll down to the boathouse on the slipway to launch boats at high tide. Once you’ve finished with your sailor duties, scrub up back at the house and make your way into the village for a gourmet pub dinner with your loved ones. Get drawn into local wildlife and stunning landscapes at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (8 miles), hunt for hidden caves along the South West Coast Path, or spend the day building sandcastles at Bosahan Cove (1 mile).

Well Too is an extremely attractive cottage both internally and externally. The location could not be bettered overlooking the village and the river, whilst having the additional bonus of the frontage to the creek.

We had a wonderful stay - the weather was a bit hit and miss but we were just as happy to be in the house looking out at one of the nicest views in Cornwall, and being wonderfully comfortable. And so easy to step out the front door to fabulous walks, a lovely pub, and a well stocked shop to keep us supplied! We certainly plan to return, if we canRead more! Hide

A perfect week at Well Too. So much to do and the time flew by. Highlights included lots of coastal and river walks, taking a boat out at St Anthony and generally enjoying the area. The cottage is brilliant and great views and times spent here. The area is a nice hidden gem, not too busy and very welcoming. We hope to return again.

Well too in Helford Cornwall was an absolutely delightful place. Such a beautiful cottage with ample room for all of us. Set in such a beautiful tranquil location on the estuary.

A wonderful week relaxing at Well Too. Loads of walks to find. Food at the Holy Mackerel and the Shipwright was wonderful. Lovely having breakfast with Robin every morning.

Great cottage and location. Disappointed that one of the showers did not work properly plus toaster constantly set off smoke alarms (faulty toaster not us). Also felt cottage should have provided blankets as cold at night (before warmer weather) and duvets v thin. Otherwise great

Very comfortable stay. Wonderful two weeks sailing, messing about on the water and swimming. The cottage is perfectly positioned and the little quay made all the difference to boating adventures. The perfect cottage for our little group to relax and do boating and crafty things. Thank you.

There would have been full marks, but the description did mention own boathouse, but there was no key for it. However, this did not pose a problem for us. I just think some clients may be disappointed. Also, do point out that the steps leading up to the back garden are lose as it could be dangerous for those who climb up there.
