Rose Cottage

Rose Cottage is a 2-bedroom property in Helford village itself, sleeping 4 across 1 bathroom with 1 king-size and 1 twin bedroom. Dogs are welcome, and the enclosed garden with BBQ gives them outdoor space. Inside, there is a wood burner for cooler seasons. Wifi is included; there is no on-site parking.

Helford is one of the Helford River estuary villages - small, quiet, and accessible mainly by single-track lanes. The village is the start point for several waymarked walks into the surrounding woodland and along the creek paths. Frenchman's Creek, made famous by Daphne du Maurier's 1941 novel of the same name, is reached on foot from the village in under 20 minutes.

Helford Passage Beach is 0.9km away - a small sandy cove on the north bank of the estuary where a seasonal foot ferry crosses to Helford village itself. Ponsence Cove is 1.9km further. Porth Saxon Beach, another small cove in this network of sheltered inlets, is 2.4km. 8 reviews on HolidayCottages.

Ideal for couples or a family of 4 who want a quiet base with good dog walking and some history, close to the coast but not in a busy resort. Not great for anyone needing parking at the property, or for groups who want nightlife or a variety of shops within walking distance.

Helford and the Helford Passage have a handful of pubs and seasonal cafes; the nearest town with full amenities is Helston, about 8km north.
