Property code: OC-HCPOPI

Gorgeous riverside cottage right in the heart of the stunning village of Helford. Gather four loved ones for this coastal adventure, where endless beaches are ready for family games, and a charming property welcomes nippy toes in front of the wood burner.

This traditional seaside getaway features remarkable characterful features combined with country-style decor for a truly unique stay. Kick off walking boots and hang up waterproofs before settling down in the cosy living room. Pillowy seating and an inglenook fireplace are perfect for those post-walk evenings. Potter through into the spacious kitchen and rustle up something tasty for tea. Round up your guests at the table and share a glass or two while admiring the riverfront views. Take the party outside to the patio, where you can spend time catching up or stargazing in this remote area. Rest weary heads in one of the two bedrooms; a romantic double bedroom with an en-suite shower and WC, and a pretty twin with waterside views. When the sun pops up, lie back in the summer sun and take in the coastal breeze while planning your exciting day trip.

While away the hours building sandcastles with the family at a number of highly rated beaches, including Bosahan Cove (1 mile), Porthoustock Beach (6 miles), and Trebah Beach (14 miles). Alternatively, amble through the leafy countryside trails right from your doorstep. Frenchman’s Creek (3 miles) is a delightful circular walk through blankets of (seasonal) bluebells and wild garlic, where you’re bound to see wildlife and take plenty of holiday snaps. Spend time in nature at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (8.5 miles) or learn about local history at the Poldark Mine 13.5 miles away. Eat out at the pub (0.5 miles) or fill the fridge with delicious goodies bought from the local shop (0.5 miles).

A lovely old cottage right by the waterfront with views up the creek to the river Helford and out to sea. Cosy, comfortable, clean and warm, with a lovely sunny patio right outside the kitchen, again with creek/river views. We had a superbly relaxing stay and walked every day, catching the passenger ferry (5 mins' walk away) to Helford Passage and Read morethen walking to Trebah Garden, Glendurgan Garden and the National Trust village of Durgan. There's a great, well-stocked shop just a few mins' walk away and the walk around Frenchman's Creek is magical. We also recommend a visit to the rural contemporary arts centre at Kestle Barton. Hide

We had a lovely week at the cottage, and was delighted to find that there was now a dishwasher too. The only downside was the narrowness of the approach road, you kept your fingers crossed

Super clean, comfortable cottage in an amazing location in beautiful Helford with fabulous views down the creek.

We had a lovely time staying at this well equipped and very comfortable cottage. In a great situation, it was handy for walks directly from the door. And the pub only a few paces away a bonus! The dog loved lying in front of the wood burner, a real treat for her. A very relaxing place to stay.

Lovely cottage and very well equipped. Great walks from the cottage itself. Peaceful with friendly pub just across the road. Wonderful to be able to sit and drink morning coffee with a view of the water. As you would expect in Cornwall, narrow country roads to get into and through Helford itself and to the cottage. The cottage parking space is tigRead moreht for turning/length but managed OK with our mid size SUV. Hide
