Offering the wow-factor right from the moment you arrive, this pretty period house is something for everyone – be that a large family or a group of friends. Dogs, in particular, will love a holiday here thanks to being so close to the river, the perfect place to go for a swim, while owners try their hand at canoeing or kayaking.

Inside, this three-bedroom property is elegant and tastefully decorated throughout. You enter from the porch into a comfortable living room which has its own wood burner to curl up in front of with your pets, while you watch TV after a busy day out. The ground floor is also home to a large kitchen and dining room which is ideal for creating food for sociable mealtimes. Additionally, should you need it, there is a walk-through study area which leads to the conservatory - often used as a children’s room. For your convenience, after getting either sandy or muddy after a day spent outdoors, the property has a utility room with its own washer, dryer and freezer. French doors on the ground floor open out to the small courtyard with a BBQ and steps to an upper deck with garden furniture and views of the river. Stairs in the sitting room lead to the main bedroom with its own en-suite shower room and river views right from the king-size bed. Along the landing is the family bedroom with a bunk and a single, a twin room and, finally, the family bathroom.

Helford is a pretty village in a stunning area of Cornwall. To help you get the most out of your trip here, there’s a dinghy for guests to use from the shingle beach, which is accessible just a few steps from the property’s front garden. Dogs that don’t like the water can easily climb aboard, but strong swimmers will enjoy paddling from the river’s edge.

Location and view from the front of the property was great and the area very relaxing - so we really enjoyed the week - parking was a slight issue but the owner kindly allowed us to park on his property . The property is on the market, and a little tiered in places on the inside/outside, with some appliances being a little old, and not really suffiRead morecient glasses etc - ,location made up for these small points Hide

I could not reach the owner to sort out the parking arrangements Ben (at original cottages) sorted it, details of parking on the Travel Directions should be made clearer. The decked area needs attention (judged to be unsafe). The oven door would not close and stay closed. The freezer door within the fridge would not close properly. The shower hosRead moree in the bathroom is excessively stiff and needs replacing. It is judged that the light fittings in the sitting room were unsafe (in fact this part of the circuit had already tripped when we arrived). A light fitting in the master bedroom is hanging off the wall. On arrival the the glass in the en suite shower cubical was in need of a thorough cleaning. Nevertheless, we felt that the style and overall ambiance of the property was excellent and we enjoyed our stay in Helford. Hide
