Cottage in Helford

Stylish Coastal Cottage Walk to Beach & SW Path

JennyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Eleanor’s cottage was perfect for our family of four. It is next to the creek and a very short walk to the pub and ferry. The cottage was great, with comfortable beds and everything we needed. We picked up some supplies on our way to the cottage at the supermarket in Helston, but the local shop in Helford was handy too. Parking was on the creek or up in a nearby car park (a 2 minute walk up the hill). We bought a ticket for the week and left the car there except on the days we were venturing further afield. We had such a great holiday and would definitely recommend this beautiful part of Cornwall and Eleanor’s lovely cottage!

Bungalow in Cornwall

Porthallow Cove. Dogs go free. Secure garden

JoshRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Louise was a fantastic host. Loved the little gestures of the black board welcome message and the goodies left for the dogs, as they meant a lot. Her home was clean, and bigger than expected. When she says the garden is dog proof, she means it. We mainly only used the front garden, and the dogs loved it, large and a sun trap, where they could run around freely and had no worry of them getting out at all. I would definitely recommend this place, and would love to stay again. the location is definitely more of a "off-the-path" location, but worth it, if you don't want to be in a Cornwall tourist spot. That said, there is more than enough choice of local food locations at the most of a 5/10 minute drive, and two amazing costal walk to explore leading out on both sides of Porthallow Cove. I cannot fault this stay as it provided everything we needed for the week that we stayed!
