One week in July
Clean, fresh, well equipped property with good bathroom facilities. A super large comfortable bed with quality bed linen. Very well located, a short, downhill walk to the river, pub and ferry. The swimming pool access was a real bonus during a scorching week and we enjoyed easy access to nearby gardens and beaches, especially Maenporth.

First visit to Seashells, Helford Passage
From start to finish communication with Liz was excellent and Seashells more than lived up to our expectations. A lovely cottage which has been refurbished to a very high standard, Seashells has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. This was our first visit to Helford Passage and won't be the last; Seashells is close to the river and provides an ideal base to explore the area by foot or car - my favourite walk being the short one down to The Ferry Boat Inn! Highly recommended, we didn't want to leave Seashells and look forward to returning at some point in the future,

A charming cottage
This small cottage has all the amenities needed, and was perfectly situated for a visit to beautiful Helford Passage. Parking, although a bit tricky and not suited to large vehicles, was close by, and there were many lovely places to visit.

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 are delighted to have purchased Seashells Cottage which will be available from April 2016. 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.
