Helford House

Absolutely idyllic spot, very quiet and restful, brilliant for using our stand up paddle board. As the details rightly say the path is very steep but this just adds to the adventure and helps with walking off those cream teas...!

The location and views are great, we loved the seclusion the decent to the house gave us. The property is tired and well used with some ill fitting furniture and fittings that don't necessarily make for a comfortable or convenient stay. As a family of 4 the showering arrangements were not ideal but completely manageable, if we were staying with multiple adults I think it would be a challenge, especially as none of the bedroom doors shut leaving you fairly exposed in the 'en suite' which is actually a shower in a bedroom.

This was our second visit to Helford House and it felt like coming home. It is a very comfortable house with stunning views. We can't wait to return.

Helford house is by far the best holiday home we have ever stayed in. We had an amazing week there. It is very comfortable and well equipped. The views from the house are fabulous, excellent place for stargazing. I really enjoyed watching the tide come in and out on the creek. The wild birds were lovely to watch and listen to. We had a truly amazing time.

Beautiful spot

Lovely house. Well equipped Very private. Access from parking only for able bodied. Older people beware Need to check that you are happy with limited shower facilities

A lovely house in idyllic spot in need of updating otherwise very comfortable in a beautiful area . Future Travelers beware the path to the house is very steep up and down and not for the faint hearted.

The only thing we can recommend is the location.

We would like to send you a set of photographs to illustrate all the above points.

Liked most things - location, views, access to Gardens and Helford Passage, etc Biscuits on arrival The shower was lacking power some areas starting to need a little TLC (downstairs bathroom) The steep approach to the house was a real challenge - but did not put us off slightly larger fridge/secondary fridge in boiler house - as for a family of 5/6, you need a lot of food.

We have stayed at Helford House three times now and we love it very much. It is a lovely house and is in a wonderful location. It was lovely to have the improvements in the main bedroom with a new larger more comfortable bed and the added changes in the kitchen and the new shower room too are lovely additions. The house has a great energy and it is wonderfully located overlooking Port Navas creak and it is lovely to be able to walk out on the boat mooring looking down the river. It is wonderful that the gardens of Glendurgan and Trebah gardens, the lovely beaches of Church Cove and Helford and Poldhu Cove and the Lizard and many other lovely places are so close. We have just booked it straightaway for a fourth time for next May!! We look forward to being back already!! We thank Classic Cottages for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful cottage in a fabulous position.

Helford House is a little slice of heaven on earth. It is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and so it is tranquil, gloriously wooded, full of birdsong and when the tide is high, it is just breathtaking. The house is comfortable, well-equipped, and really good value for money. Take your kayaks and your swimwear and prepare for paradise (especially if you're lucky enough to have good weather, as we were). Outstanding and highly recommended.

A lovely property in a beautiful position. The path to the house is extremely long and steep, don’t book it if you are unfit or have any mobility issues.

Helford House is in an amazing location on Port Navas creek. The house is extremely comfortable and clean, and was well equipped. Internet was good. We had our dog and there was even an indoor and outdoor bed provided plus bowls. Yes the path down and back up is steep and not for the very unfit or infirm, however the benefit of being right down on the water is more than worth it. Sitting on the patio or on the quayside right above the water in the afternoon and evening sun was magical. Could not recommend more highly.

Helford house is a lovely place to stay, the house was clean and comfortable, the beds were great to sleep in. Obviously 4 quite steep paths to get down to the house so would not recommend to people with disabilities, would definitely recommend it.

A comfortable house commanding stunning views of the river . Pdevious reviews are correct however do not let that dissuade you from spending time in this special place.

Location alongside the creek is wonderful with the views, and a bonus being abloe to wlak directly from the property to the coastal paths, but still very close to Falmouth for all holiday requirements. Garden safe for Kids and Dogs due to spilt fencing areas. Property is satisfactory but requires a bit of an update. Slopes are certainly steep.

Great location, but quality of the house is not as good as it looks.

If you are fit and able ,then the location of Helford House is fabulous. Tranquil relaxation by a lazy tidal creek. Warm welcome and good food at the local hotel. Dog friendly walks and a good pint at both the Ferryboat and Shipwright pubs. ( food also excellent at both).

We had a great one week family holiday here and really enjoyed it. Now for the but... The house in general needs a good clean and a fresh coat of paint on the outside, the professional photos make it look immaculate however it is clearly in need of a some love and attention. The gardens however are beautiful as is the house itself and would make a lovely peaceful holiday location for those wishing to get away from it all all-though somewhat at the price of a rather arduous hill climb to get back to the car.

The cottage and situation is beautiful but the access to it is very very steep without handrails for safety in several areas. Appropriate footwear should be taken for the climb to and from the car for safety.

What a beautiful place to stay. So uncluttered, unpretentious and unique. Clean, warm and well suited for a holiday Let in its accommodations and set up. It does need a little tidying up in places but it was well appointed and apart from the side of the bath - which we were informed about prior to our arrival - all was well.

The photos and descriptions are probably from when it was originally with you as a holiday let. It needs some updating on your site or some updating of the property.

If you're looking for a place to "get away from it all" look no further.

Please, keep that place secret!!! We spent perfect days in a perfect house. And so much possibilities to spend our time (near and far). So we hope to see it soon...

A stunning location thankyou for allowing us to share it. We would definately book again.

Fantastic retreat on the river - thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Would definitely book again

A wonderful hide away location. We love this cottage and the magical views across the ever changing creek. This was our third visit and we will return.

A lovely location for a classic Cornish getaway!
