This homely cottage in a historic village in South Cornwall is an excellent base for a family or group of friends to explore the Cornish coast. The village of Helford sits on the south bank of the Helford river between the Lizard and Falmouth, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Enjoy a meal out at the cosy local pub or enjoy breakfast at the cafe (both less than 0.5 miles). Explore the coast by boat or by foot and visit one of the many idyllic beaches nearby — you can get the ferry across to Grebe Beach (1.7 miles) and Helford Passage Beach (1 mile), or take a hike along the coastal path to Bosahan Cove (1 mile).
Approaching the front door of the property, you’ll be greeted by a white picket fence in front of the textured, white-painted stone cottage. Walk past the flower pots and enter the charming property. Make yourself at home in the living room, which is bursting with character from its strong wooden beamed ceiling, impressive stone fireplace with a wood burner and classic decor. At the far end of the room, there’s a glass door which opens up onto the garden. Walking through into the dining room, the influence of traditional wooden features continues — the ceiling has wooden beams, wooden flooring and a white-painted wooden door. Next to the table and chairs, there’s a large, stone, open fireplace. Walk through the archway to the kitchen, where you’ll find a neat wooden kitchen where you can prepare special meals for your guests. Also on this level is a bathroom with a shower. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a luxurious four-poster, king-size bed with romantic white drapes on each corner, a wooden dressing table and a wooden beamed ceiling. Inside the second bedroom, you’ll find twin beds and the third bedroom has a single bed. Run yourself a steamy bath and relax in the bathroom which has a spa-like feel.
The tranquil paved garden area sits on the edge of a trickling creek. Listen to the sound of the flowing water as you sit back on the garden chairs while tucking into your BBQ food.
