Two-bedroom stone cottage in Helston with enclosed garden, 4 miles from Porthleven

The Crest is a stone cottage in Helston sleeping 4 across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms - a practical, well-rated base for exploring the southern tip of Cornwall. Rated 10/10 from 83 reviews, it offers more guest endorsement than most properties at this price point.

Inside, two bedrooms share two bathrooms, and the kitchen comes with a dishwasher and washing machine. An enclosed garden at the rear gives the property a private outdoor space without road noise, and there is off-street parking included. Wi-Fi is provided throughout.

Porthleven beach - a south-facing surf shore with a harbour and several well-regarded restaurants - is about 4 miles south-west. Gunwalloe Church Cove, a sheltered sandy beach managed by the National Trust, is roughly 7.5 miles away. Helston itself has a pub, independent shops, and the Museum of Cornish Life on Market Place (free entry). The Blue Anchor on Coinagehall Street, one of Cornwall's oldest pubs, still brews its own Spingo ales. Kynance Cove and Mullion Cove on the Lizard are both within a 20-minute drive south.

Best for: couples or small families wanting a rated cottage with parking and a garden close to the Lizard coast. Less good for: travellers needing a hot tub or wood burner, or anyone who prefers to be on the coast rather than in town.
