Local info

For a B&B, guest house or hotel on the Helford River, Cornwall Online lists owner-run places to stay where breakfast is included or available. The Helford River is the wooded estuary that separates the Lizard Peninsula from the Falmouth area.

From here 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. Your hosts take their own bookings, so you can ask about rooms, breakfast and local tips before you arrive.
