Commanding an exclusive position at the head of the Mawgan Creek of the Helford River, Rock Cottage is a wonderful waterside 16th century fully modernised Cornish property, sitting in an acre of its own within a highly desirable location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. No neighbouring properties in sight and sound; peace and quiet, away from crowds, enjoy a family holiday or a romantic escape for two from this well-appointed, unique and popular retreat.
The woodland and terraced garden is surrounded on two sides by the tidal waters, which present an ever-changing picture of the creek and myriad of wildlife. A sturdy dinghy is included and the large jetty is ideal for launching and storing kayaks and SUPs. Fish from here, the foreshore or out in the boat. Go wild swimming. Crabbing is a popular pastime for children – bucket and lines supplied.
Retreat to the comforts of this warm and cosy cottage, personally prepared and cared for by the owners, set up to accommodate four adults with two children, and relax and unwind. Full central heating, wifi, linen, towels and more is provided. There are three bedrooms, including the separate and spacious Garden Room, a ground floor bathroom, a newly fitted kitchen/diner with a small walk-in pantry, with all your needs catered for, and the bonus of a fabulous view! The long, light, beamed lounge with its original cob walls, window seats and inglenook, is furnished with a high quality sofa and armchairs. The upstairs master and adjacent children’s bedroom both have polished wooden floors, solid oak furnishings, soft rugs with garden and river views. The Garden Room is popular for friends or grandparents; from its large panoramic windows there is a fabulous view to wake up to.
There is private parking for up to three vehicles close to the entrance gate, which leads to the patio area where a magnificent view awaits.
Lizard Peninsula beaches are world class and a few to whet the appetite include Gunwalloe Church Cove, Poldhu, and Kennack Sands. Kynance Cove is very popular and within a twenty minute drive. The list of attractions vary from wonderful gardens like Heligan, Trebah, Glendurgan, Trengwainton and of course the Eden Project. For those interested in tin mining visit Poldark Mine or the further afield Botallack and Geevor. Children will enjoy the nearby Gweek Seal Sanctuary and Flambards amusement park in Helston. A holiday here offers plenty for all ages and many enjoy horse riding, deep sea fishing, kayaking, sailing, visiting art galleries, taking wonderful walks or eating out.
Mawgan village has a church, well stocked shop as well as the excellent Ship Inn, all of which are less than half a mile from the cottage. Go exploring from this peaceful location; its easy access to many places on the Helford Estuary and Lizard Peninsula, make Rock Cottage an ideal place to stay for a week or two, or a short out of season break.
