The cottage was warm and cosy, and very well equipped, perfect after long coastal walks. Helford was such a pretty place and we found everyone local, in the shop and pub friendly. We enjoyed great weather for February and the village was lovely and quiet. Super walking along the river and around. Have already recommended to friends!

Beautifully presented and comfortable cottage in stunning Helford. Well kitted out. Stylishly decorated, with a homely feel. Wood burner was very appreciated during a winter cold snap. Highly recommended.

Lovely, well equipped property, well placed for all the coastal path can offer. Very friendly local pub. Follow the directions given, and don't use a satnav or you will end up going down the narrowest road in Cornwall!

When we arrived there was water running down the road outside clearly not a new problem. The water pressure in the cottage was really low and you could hear the constant running of water to fill the tank. I am not sure how the housekeeping team could not notice this. We reported it and a plumber came but it did mean we had no water for anything forRead more a while and no shower. This was followed by no hot water the next day so two days disrupted. The plumber was great and not his fault but I think all this could have been avoided. It did upset our week. Hide
