They can be either 3, 4, 5 or 6 nights and are priced accordingly. Please remember that all short break enquiries have to be checked prior to booking, simply find your perfect cottage, get in touch and we will help finalise your enquiry either email or phone our Reservation Team .


Our offices are open every day.

Helston

Helston holidays

Gateway to the Lizard Peninsula and originally a thriving port, the quaint Cornish town of Helston is situated along the banks of the River Cober. Now a bustling market town it is home to the famous Furry Dance, a major folk festival which is celebrated each year with a carnival atmosphere all day and into the night.

Meandering through the winding streets you will see a mixture of Georgian and Victorian buildings. The splendid Folk Museum captures the spirit of the past and is housed in the former Butter Market, dating back to 1837.

About Helston

Helston

Helston is now a popular tourist resort with many nearby attractions, superb scenery, sandy beaches and unexplored coves nearby. There are plenty of good restaurants and country pubs to enjoy and you will find it a perfect base from which to explore West Cornwall.

Located in the town itself you will find the Blue Anchor, originally a rest haven for monks. Now a tavern since the 15th century, the local strong brew of Spingo can be savoured here.

Slightly to the West of Helston the parkland of the Penrose Estate offers some beautiful woodland walks. The World Heritage site of Poldark Mine, situated in the nearby Wendron Valley is another good family day out.
