About this property

'Seashells' Sleeps 2, WiFi, shared pool, close to beach, river, coast path

Looking for a holiday cottage in Cornwall?

Seashells is a one bedroom self catering, Cornish cottage only metres from the beach at Helford Passage and the famous Ferryboat Inn overlooking the Helford River. Seashells Cottage is ideal for couples. If you like sailing, bring your own boat or hire one from the beach and explore the Helford River. If it's walking you enjoy, the South West coastal path is on your doorstep. Take a trip across the river on the ferry and walk to Frenchman's creek. Perhaps your choice is a more leisurely break visiting the wonderful National Trust Glendurgan or Trebah gardens - just a ten minute walk from Seashells. Whatever you decide to do, an evening glass of wine and a meal at the Ferryboat Inn is a perfect end to the day - overlooking the Helford river. And it's only a one minute walk back to Seashells afterwards.

There is underfloor heating and a wood burning stove for the colder months. The bathroom has a full size walk in shower. The bedroom is separate from the living area and has a super king size bed. The outdoor area which is south facing is perfect for al fresco lunch or evening drinks.

Enjoy swimming in the outdoor heated swimming pool - available from May to September

Parking is no problem. There is an allocated parking space right next to the property.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Pearce

Host profile image
We live in Devon on a small farm. We have three children and four grandchildren and all of us love Helford Passage. Seashells was purchased in 2015 - and 2016 will be the first year of holiday letting. My husband and I love taking long walks along the coast path - the children enjoy boating, rock pooling on the beach and swimming in the outdoor pool in the summer. In the evening we enjoy a glass of wine at the Ferryboat Inn overlooking the water and a lovely meal there if we want to eat out. Only a few metres to walk back afterwards!

Why they chose this property

We love Helford Passage and come here as often as we can. As soon as we arrive the first thing is to walk to the beach and enjoy a glass of wine at the Ferryboat. Next day it's on with the walking boots and set out on the coastal path which is on the doorstep - maybe take the ferry across to Helford village for more walking - or take out a boat and explore the creeks of Helford River.

What makes this property unique

Apart from being so close to the water there are so many things to do without getting in the car! The Helford River www.helford-river-boats.co.uk - the gardens, Glendurgan, (National Trust) and Trebah; the Ferryboat Inn; the golf course at Budock Vean; the South West coastal path on the doorstep. You can even have your groceries delivered!
A short car journey to the beautiful Kynance Cove where the National Trust cafe serves delicious food - and a visit to the Minack Theatre for a memorable performance in the summer is a must.
