The Boathouse

Loved the setting of The Boathouse & it was very well designed. Ordered food from Jade for our 1st night which was exceptional & good value for money. We will certainly be booking again in the future.

The location is lovely and when the water comes in it looks beautiful. Watching the wildlife is amazing with so many different birds come to visit and feed. We had 2 swans come every day for some bread. Well thought out Boat house nicely decorated and very clean. Though parking is a little awkward for medium to larger cars. Slight damp smell in bathroom near the kitchen. But certainly didn’t ruin our stay, as expected as near the creek. ...

This is a very well presented property in an idyllic location.

This property is a lovely location right beside a creek on the Helford River. We really enjoyed watching the tide come in and out and all the wild life. A pair of swans visited the property every day. The property is beautiful laid out with every mod cons and furnished to a high standard. ...

We have just returned from a weeks stay (end of November 2024) at The Boathouse, which is absolutely beautiful and we had an amazing time and definitely did not want to leave. We already live in Cornwall near the sea, as short drive away…. but, it was so lovely to have a change of scenery. It was fabulous to be able to sit and watch the river/creek and the resident Swans, Ducks and Birds. We would suggest, that you take a pair of binoculars to get a closer look, as there is not a pair in situ. The Boathouse has been tastefully developed with the Owners/Trades people, having a “keen eye and attention to detail”. All appliances are top notch and the furnishings and beds are of excellent quality. The rain shower was powerful, just what you need with plenty of hot water. The Classic Cottages Team gave a courtesy call mid week to check we were warm enough - which it certainly was with the cosy Woodburner and Central Heating. We had excellent communication prior to our stay with the Housekeeper of the Boathouse who was extremely helpful (a real STAR) and left a few treats for us to enjoy - Thank you. We would love to live there permanently; and hopefully will re-book and have another break at The Boathouse and do so soon, as we love it so much. We have stayed at a number of Cottages over the past few years and this has been one of the best…. But do not tell anyone… as it is a very special place. Thank you xx. PS: 10 mins walk up the hill (turn left out of the Boathouse Gate) you will find The Gear Farm Pasty Shop and locally grown Veg - the pasties were amazing… (I am Cornish and occasionally make my own pasties… so a bit particular… I must say these were brilliant - a “proper Cornish Pasty”…. Enjoy ...
