A self-catering holiday on the Helford River means your own front door, your own kitchen and your own timetable. The Helford River is the wooded estuary that separates the Lizard Peninsula from the Falmouth area, and the holiday cottages and homes listed on Cornwall Online are advertised by the people who own them.
From your cottage you can explore Gillan and St Keverne, Falmouth and Penryn. There are small coves along the river, and Maenporth and Falmouth's beaches are a short drive away. Every property is let by its owner, so you deal directly with the person who knows it best.
Cornwall Online has 2 properties listed on the Helford River.
The Boathouse in South Helford gives you a self-catering holiday let as your base for Cornwall. Days out on foot, by bike or by car start from the door, and you book direct with the people who run it. Larger family groups can be catered for.
“The house is right on the beach and owns the slipway which guests may use if they bring their boats. Beautiful uninterrupted views across the cove and out to sea, with the beach just outside the property.” – the owner
