About this property

Beautiful cottage with sea views and private beach access

Tremorna is an ancient fisherman's cottage perched above Helford Creek, with its own secluded garden and private beach access. It is superbly positioned with wonderful views from almost every room down the estuary towards the sea and, with its own private quay, is the perfect location for paddleboarding, sailing, canoeing, swimming and making the most of the glorious unspoilt waters of the Helford River.

It sits in the centre of the village, yards from shop and pub, yet has a hidden terraced garden with a large private water frontage with steps down to a private quay, accessible by boat at high tide, and with direct access to the shore. The garden is accessed through a gate a few steps across the lane in front of the cottage, and is a lovely secret spot to watch the ever-changing panorama of the river estuary, with a summer house an east-facing terrace overlooking the creek – perfect for sunny breakfasts.

The cottage has three double bedrooms, one of which has a double bed, the other two singles each. Downstairs there is a large kitchen opening to a small terrace with fabulous views down the estuary, and a spacious sitting room with a glorious open fire and thick cob walls. There is both a bathroom and a shower room.

Tremorna has a great air of peace and calm about it. It has been a holiday home for our family for five decades. We welcome guests who appreciate a cottage of great character in a stunning and totally unspoilt location, with access to one of Europe's most ecologically rich and beautiful estuaries.

We invite you to explore the Helford River, all its remote creeks, coves, woods and cliffs.

- Sleeps 6 in one double and two twin bedrooms (one of which has beds which can be linked into a double).
- Sea views and access to the shore through garden.
- Beds are made up with 100% cotton bed linen for guests' arrival.
- Large drum washing machine/dryer, TV, wifi and microwave.
- Off-lane parking for one car.
- Large garden with beach access, summer house and terrace overlooking estuary.
- Garden offers bench, table and chairs plus trees and lawn with steps to quay and beach.
- Large kitchen with long wooden table seating 8, plus spacious sitting room with open fire.
- 2 bathrooms (one is a shower room).
- Used by current owners, children and grandchildren as holiday home for more 50 years.

Tremorna is superbly placed for walking and boating around the Helford River. With its water frontage and views, it is in one of the most desirable locations in the whole of the village of Helford.

The Helford River itself is a magical and totally unspoiled location for sailing, boating, walking, swimming and general outdoor relaxation.

The famous gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan are a short ferry ride away, and sand and shingle beaches, woods and cliffs are minutes away by footpath or boat. The whole of the glorious Lizard peninsula lies within about 20 minutes' car journey.
