Strand

Strand is a two-bedroom apartment at Helford Passage, sleeping four with a terrace looking directly over the Helford River. The apartment sits next to the Ferryboat Inn and the village slipway. Changeover day is Friday.

Inside, the apartment has two bedrooms and one bathroom, with a living area arranged towards the river view. A dishwasher, washing machine, and wifi are all included, and the layout is arranged on a single level. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, and the living space opens directly onto the terrace.

The terrace sits over the river, with boats moored on the water and the wooded south bank visible across the estuary. Parking is on site. A shared swimming pool is available when the weather discourages open-water swimming. The seasonal foot ferry to Helford village operates from Easter to October, a few metres from the apartment. Trebah Garden - a 26-acre ravine running down to a private beach on the Helford - is half a mile away. Glendurgan Garden, with its 1833 laurel maze, is immediately next door to Trebah. Falmouth with its harbour and town beach is around 5 miles by road.

Best for couples or small families who want a quiet river setting, garden access, and subtropical Cornwall within walking distance. Less good for those needing sea beach access on foot - the nearest sandy beach, Maenporth, is around 4 miles north.
