The Riverside, Helford, Helston, Cornwall

Large cottage style house in picturesque Helford village sleeps up to 16.

The Riverside is both comfortable and stylish and all 6 bedrooms have their own bathrooms. Plus there are two small bunk rooms off two off the bedrooms, making them good for families. There is a lovely large kitchen/dining room with a wonderful, large, extending table, an Aga, an electric cooker, 2 fridges, freezer and Miele dishwasher.

There is, of course, central heating and a lovely open fire, which comes with plenty of logs to chuck on, in the sitting room.

The Riverside lends itself to large groups of friends or families wanting to spend time together; either just for a holiday or for a special celebration. Whether you choose the catered or self catering option, guests can be guaranteed the chance to spend "quality time" with their friends or family.

When you arrive you are assured of a warm welcome as the beds will be made up, the fire laid in and the house ready for you; and there is no clearing up to do when you leave either!

Of course, if you have taken the catered option then, on arrival, you will be greeted by the smiling face of your cook and the smell of your dinner cooking. And the next morning a delicious breakfast will set you up for your day's activities, whatever they may be; this will be the pattern for each day (except the staff day off).

There are two boats available for guests to use on the Helford River (available April - end of October). The river has creeks and coves to explore and there is plenty of flora and fauna to watch out for.

The Riverside is available for weeks and short breaks (during term time) or by the week or fortnight during school holidays.

Helford is on The Lizard Peninsula, Britain's most southerly point. There is so much to do in this part of Cornwall - walking, boating, sporting, gardening, culture - do look at our website to get a more detailed list of the area's fantastic potential. There really is something for everyone.
