Helford Cottage
Lizard Peninsula
Helford
Cornwall
Nestled in the idyllic village of Helford on the Lizard Peninsula, this spacious coastal residence is an exceptional choice for families and friends searching for a Helford Lizard Peninsula holiday cottage. Located just moments from the water’s edge, this property pairs generous interiors and river vistas with immediate access to one of South Cornwall’s most enchanting estuaries.
Lace up your walking boots to join the South West Coast Path straight from your door, or hop on the historic pedestrian ferry across the water to Helford Passage Beach and the famous Shipwrights Arms. Water sports enthusiasts can bring a boat or kayak to explore ancient oak-fringed creeks and hidden coves along the Helford River and Frenchman’s Creek. Nearby, wander through charming historic villages including Manaccan (1.5 miles) and Flushing (3 miles), explore the exotic sub-tropical gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan, or head south to discover the dramatic granite cliffs, cove beaches, and lighthouse at Lizard Point.
