Situated in a quiet corner of the village, this delightful two-storey house is the ideal location for a peaceful and relaxing holiday for families, couples or friends, just a short drive from many of Cornwall's attractions. There are many walking trails along the Helford River to nearby attractions such as Frenchman's Creek (3 miles), made famous by the writer Daphne Du Maurier. It is a short drive to the beautiful Cornish coastline with Pendennis Point (20 miles), Trebah Garden and Trebah Beach (14 miles) and Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach (9 miles) all well worth a visit. Otherwise, you can explore 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 an appealing cottage boasting bright, spacious rooms that are perfect for creating memorable moments together. As you enter the living room, your eye is drawn to the large inglenook fireplace with its wood burner, which makes for cosy evenings in the cooler months, as well as to the sofa and armchairs. The dining area is adjacent to the living room and leads into the contemporary kitchen, which has all you need to prepare delicious meals. From the living room, a staircase leads to the first floor, where there is a king-size and a twin bedroom, both of which overlook the river through low windows, so you can enjoy the view while lying in bed! A bathroom with a shower attachment and WC completes the features of this attractive property.

Lovely cottage and location, very close to a superb pub and useful shop. Wonderful walks and views, you need to be a competent driver for narrow roads. A beautiful comfy cottage, would go again.

Rose Cottage was like a home from home. Beautiful garden to sit out in the sun and Helford is such a peaceful, relaxing location. Great to have own car parking space outside the door. I will be back!

This was our third visit and we've already booked our fourth. Doesn't that say it all?! Rose Cottage has everything we need for a family holiday in a lovely place. We particularly love the sun-trap garden, the roses round the door, the comfy beds and the view from the upstairs windows; the private parking, the plentiful hot water and the locatioRead moren in that corner of Helford are also huge bonuses.

Such a gorgeous Chocolate box cottage, beautifully furnished. Helford is idililic. Our kids loved splashing in the ford and collecting shells by the jetty. We had a wonderful holiday. The road in is incredibly narrow so possibly not for nervous drivers!

We loved our Autumn stay at Rose Cottage. It was a perfect base for visiting the Lizard and the nearby coastline and then returning to the cottage for cosy evenings in front of the fire.
