A charming fisherman's cottage named after two sisters Poppy and Gayle, this is the ideal place for a relaxing holiday for families, couples or friends. Situated on the river at Helford, there are many walks to explore nearby, such as Frenchman's Creek (3 miles), made famous by the writer Daphne Du Maurier. Nearby, you will find the beautiful Cornish coastline with Pendennis Point (20 miles), Trebah Garden and Trebah Beach (14 miles) and Bream Cove (15 miles) well worth a visit. Alternatively, discover the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (8.5 miles) or learn about the local history at the Poldark Mine and The Cornish Heritage Collection (13.5 miles).

This is a distinctive cottage with cosy rooms and great attention to detail. You enter the house into the sitting room featuring a comfortable sofa and chairs and an attractive stone inglenook fireplace with a wood burner. This is a lovely space in which to relax after a busy day. Two slate steps lead into the bright and spacious kitchen with granite worktops and a dining table overlooking the river. A stable door leads out into the private garden. Upstairs from the living room are two bedrooms - a double with an en-suite shower and WC, and a twin with river views. There is an additional bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC.

Outside, a patio, that is elevated over the lane below, has outdoor furniture and offers picturesque views of the river.

Super clean, comfortable cottage in an amazing location in beautiful Helford with fabulous views down the creek. The Shipwrights Arms across the road is wonderful and very handy when you don't feel like cooking in the cottage's well equipped kitchen. Lovely patio area with table, chairs and BBQ.

Perfect getaway in a lovely location. Lots of walks in the near area, pub virtually next door, fantastic location just across from the river. Great log burning fire, comfortable beds. Had space for a family but there was only the two of us. Wouldnt suit if you had more than one car if trying to park at the property. But ideal really. Will definitelRead morey be trying to go again.

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
