Hove To

Hove To is a ground-floor three-bedroom apartment at Helford Passage, with a patio facing directly onto the Helford River. It sleeps two and is rated 8.7 from 30 reviews. Parquet flooring and natural wood furniture run throughout, and accessible access is provided across the single-level layout.

Inside, three bedrooms and two bathrooms give comfortable space for a couple wanting room to spread out. A large living area with a wood burner sits alongside a well-fitted kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Wifi is included, and parking is on site.

The sunny patio overlooks the river - useful for watching the foot ferry crossing and the kayak traffic on the water. A shared heated outdoor swimming pool opens 1 May to end of September. Kayaks and paddleboards can be hired from the beach a short walk away. The Ferryboat Inn on the quay serves seafood and is about five minutes on foot.

Best for couples who want an accessible, single-level property with direct river access, good walking from the door, and the option of National Trust gardens nearby. Trebah Garden and Glendurgan are a short drive; Falmouth and its galleries are around 25 minutes by road. Less good for families with young children who need cots or more sleeping capacity.
