Escape the day-to-day in this splendid coastal cottage on the Helford River. This beautiful property is perfect for large families and two canine companions with good access to adventures on Cornwall’s Lizard Heritage Coast.

Inside the property, you’ll feel right at home whilst still having that getaway feeling. A fresh and light seaside style invites guests to slip into holiday mode and unwind with a crisp cider around the sitting room’s open fireplace. Put a film on the Smart TV and relax before starting dinner in the well-equipped kitchen. The outdoor dining table comfortably seats six guests, should you wish to embrace the sunny weather while you eat. If your four-legged friend has come along for the ride, the handy utility is perfect for storing doggie accessories and running through damp dog towels. Continuing on the ground floor, enjoy a soak in the statement roll-top bath, and change into your comfiest pyjamas. Choose from three restful bedrooms, where neutral tones, ample storage and crisp linens flow through all. Wake up to piping hot cups of tea on the balcony, where you’ll be met with views over the sublime Cornish countryside.

If you can tear yourself away from this beautiful property, humans and pups will enjoy a stroll down the Helford River (1 mile), renowned for its scenic beauty and freshwater wildlife. From here, avid walkers will be keen to join the South West Coast Path, where views over the unspoilt landscape, crystal waters and rugged clifftops offer a trek to remember. Bask on the beautiful beaches of Poldhu Cove (8.5 miles), Kynance Cove (11.5 miles), Gunwalloe Beach (9 miles), and dog-friendly Dollar Cove (10.5 miles). Further afield, you can meander around Falmouth (18 miles) and visit many independent shops, pubs, galleries, museums and eateries.

Our family had a very lovely week in Manaccan in this cosy and warm cottage, where we immediately felt welcome like a second home. We are very grateful to our hosts for this very beautiful place! We enjoyed a lot discovering the Lizard and Penwith peninsulas and their rich natural and historic heritage full of treasures, even away from the tourisRead moretic spots. In particular, we enjoyed walking on the coastal path from Church Cove to Kynance Cove or from Lands End to Sennen Cove; finding the stones circles of Merry Maidens and Boscawen-Un and the ancient sites of Boleig Pipers, Lanyon Quoit and Men-an-Tol, visiting Glendurgan Garden and Geevor tin mine (which we particularly recommend!) and watching the Regatta in Helford where the strong local community bonds were very visible. We wish the next visitors the same happy experience here as we have had! Hide
