Boutique Cottages in Helford

The beautiful area of Helford is like stepping back in time; an unspoilt, idyllic corner of the country where sleepy hamlets and villages nestle, the river snakes slowly out to the sea and ancient oak woodland hangs low over the water and narrow roads, creating emerald tunnels. Historically, this area was once an important port where trading ships brought rum, tobacco and lace, whilst pirates and traders populated the banks of the river. Daphne du Maurier honeymooned here and her novel Frenchman’s Creek was much influenced by her stay in this gorgeous tucked-away haven.

These days, Helford provides an enchanted retreat both in the glimmering heat of summer and atmospheric depths of winter.
