Cottage Helford River. Water access, view, parking, private, jetty, boat, garden

Rock Cottage Cornwall is a 16th century Cornish property which sits completely alone in AONB enjoying an acre of private grounds, including a riverside woodland which leads to a jetty and the private foreshore where our sturdy rowing dinghy 'Peggy' is moored.

The large terraced garden hugs the two borders of the spectacular and ever-changing view of the Mawgan Creek of the Helford River. This is exclusive to guests! Abundant water and garden birds too; fishing, kayaking, rowing, sailing, paddle boarding as well as wild swimming are all possible from Rock Cottage. You are welcome to bring your kayaks, canoes with you and launch/store these from our large jetty.

This well appointed 'home away from home' has all you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay and with full central heating by radiators, Rock Cottage is welcoming whatever the season and easily accommodates four adults with two children.

The kitchen/diner has a picturesque view of the garden, river, surrounding fields and sessile oak woodland. It is fully equipped with a new AEG steam oven and washer/dryer, Smeg ceramic hob, 60/40 LEC fridge/freezer, Bosch dishwasher and a Panasonic microwave oven. You will find everything clean, working and in its place.

On the ground floor of the cottage, is the newly renovated bathroom. This is beautifully tiled with underfloor electric heating, an electric shower over a large bath, toilet and a built-in wash hand basin. This room also serves the Garden room guests.

Step into the fully carpeted and beamed lounge with its thick and original cob walls. There are two cushioned window seats, quirky walls and alcoves, a copper canopied inglenook housing an electric wood burner, modern and very comfortable soft furnishings, an oak sideboard, table and chairs complete with wall lighting and ship's lantern. For entertainment there is an ipod dock music system, LED Smart TV, DVD player, stacks of games and puzzles as well as a great selection of Cornish novels, including many books relating to Cornish culture and maps to help you plan your outings.

At the far end of the lounge is the open tread wooden staircase. This has a short wall-mounted handrail and leads to the landing, children's and master bedrooms. These two rooms have a fabulous view of the river, are well furnished, comfortable and have top quality mattresses and bed linen.

Ten paces from the front door is the fully carpeted Garden room. This is set up for adults or teenagers only. It is arranged with two single beds which can be zip and linked to form a fabulous 6ft, when a couple sleep in here and by request. You will wake up to a marvellous view from this room which is complimented with white New England style furniture and a 40" wall mounted TV.

On the patio is a large picnic table and for the summer months, a sun parasol, drinks table and reclining chairs are provided. For a different aspect, there are two more seating areas for you to enjoy in the garden.

Our boat 'Peggy' is included in the rent. She is moored on a running line from Easter until late October, tide and weather permitting. At 3.5M long, she is ideal for four persons. We supply lifejackets in various sizes, crabbing lines for children as well as a Tide Table to plan your activities.

Our rates are fully inclusive of boat, bed linen, towels, tea towels, bath mats, BT superfast fibre broadband (wifi), heating oil, electricity, luxury toiletries, dishwasher tablets, etc as well as life jackets. For a baby we can supply a cot, highchair, baby bath and changing mat for a small supplement.

Master Bedroom - One king size bed (5ft)
Children's Bedroom - Two single beds (2ft 6" wide)
Garden Room - Two single beds (3ft wide) can be linked to form a super king sized bed.

Within the village of Mawgan is a shop, church and The Ship Inn pub with restaurant. By foot it is no more than fifteen minutes. If you venture in the opposite direction towards St Martin, you can visit Gear Farm pasty shop, the Prince of Wales and further on the Gwella Dairy for their homemade ice cream. Helford village is a short drive away where you can take a boat ferry across the river and visit Trebah Gardens.

The location makes it easy to explore the Lizard Peninsula including the wonderful Kynance Cove. Sandy beaches, quaint fishing coves, coastal path walks, pubs, restaurants, art galleries, numerous gardens, tin mines, museums, boat and fishing trips are all accessible. At nearby Gweek is the Seal Sanctuary and Helston Town is only 10 minutes by car.

You will make many memories when you holiday at Rock Cottage since it offers something for all age groups. We look forward to welcoming you to our family owned property and sharing this delightful area of Cornwall with you.

Rock Cottage is truly a special place! A beautiful location, spotlessly clean, with the most comfortable beds & everything you could need in the cottage itself (as well as use of Peggy, the rowing boat!). As a family with two children, aged 8 & 10, plus grandparents who stayed in the beautiful garden room, we had the most wonderful week. Thank you Linda & Robin!

Gorgeous cottage on the creek
Lovely cottage with a lot of history and atmosphere. Very comfortable and well equipped - we used the bbq almost every night. It was beautiful out on the creek In the boat. I also swam in the creek a few times (in a wetsuit - but the water seemed to get warmer as the week went on, or Ingot used to it!). If you get tired of watching the changing vista of the creek - the tide coming in and out, the fish and the bird life - there is plenty to do within a 30 min drive: coastal walks, gorgeous beaches and pretty fishing villages. Be prepared for single track roads, rough car parking steep slopes though! A great place to stay.

Rock Cottage is a lovely property in an amazing location. The views out of the back of the cottage are absolutely stunning. We had a wonderful time walking the lizard coastline and playing on the beaches. The kids had hours of fun in the boat and crabbing from the jetty. The cottage was well equipped and everything well thought through for our stay. I’d highly recommend staying here

Beautiful cottage in unique, peaceful location.
A wonderful stay for 4 days in a fantastic cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a short or long holiday. The garden and views were stunning, it was very hard to drag ourselves away from the window..! The location was great for The Lizard and surrounding area, everything within a short drive. The owners are very friendly and provided excellent service before and during our stay. They made us feel very welcome we instantly relaxed on arrival. 5 Stars are not enough....!

Superb!
What a fantastic property, I cannot recommend Rock Cottage highly enough! We had the most wonderful week here - everything written about it is 100% true but it's so much more than that. Firstly, the cottage's location is ideal - despite being a very short drive/walk away from Mawgan village, the cottage itself is fantastically private and there's literally nobody in sight in any direction. It has, without question, the best view possible of the tidal river and the wonderfully gnarly trees that line it - we were mesmerised, no matter the time or the weather. The avid bird watcher among us was similarly thrilled by the fabulous variety of feathered friends that were continually present. Secondly, the cottage itself is beautiful. It's in excellent condition and fabulously maintained. We were especially touched by the thoughtfulness of the welcoming scones, cream, home-made bread and many more treats that awaited us after a long journey to Cornwall - thank you so much Linda! Everything we needed was there and in addition there was plenty of space for all of our fulsome paraphernalia. The kitchen's vista is incredible and we spent a great deal of our time there, it really is the heart of the house. Every room in the house is just great, but the Garden Room in particular is also gorgeous and it too has the most spectacular view. Indeed, its being separate from the main cottage made it an ideal retreat for the 13-year old in our party! Finally, the privacy of the cottage really is its selling point for us. There's a great deal of land attached to Rock Cottage, which is so much fun to explore. The main part of the garden is on a significant slope, but the very manageable steps, the charming stepping stones, the different levels, the well-placed benches, the fantastic jetty and the excitement of the neighbouring wood make it an outdoor wonderland. Being able to use Peggy the rowing boat was such a bonus, as was the crabbing equipment. Wetsuits are highly recommended when swimming, but this is true of all British waterways! Also, wellies are essential because of the mud when the tide is out. There is no downside to Rock Cottage whatsoever - it's wonderful. The tides mean there's a limit on how much time you're able to spend in the water. Happily, however, the mud flats are gorgeous to look at and the plethora of stunning Cornish beaches are about 20 minutes' drive away, depending on which direction you choose. We'll definitely return!

A private slice of Cornwall.
Rock Cottage is a beautiful home to relax and refresh yourself. The cottage is set in a very privileged position overlooking the creek where no other dwelling or human activity can be seen. You feel like you've got the entire valley (if that's what you call the view) to yourself and can't believe it is the most popular holiday destination in the country. We enjoyed a row in Peggy and the rise and fall of the tide, the cry and songs of the birds and the calming shades of greenery all around. The cottage is very cosy, clean and well equipped and furnished tastefully. We enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table most of all, where the birds and the ever-changing creek kept us always entertained. At night we enjoyed the stars and the Milky Way high above us. Linda was a lovely host, who welcomed us warmly and left a lovely cream tea set-up on our arrival. She didn't tire of my endless questions ( although I am sure she would be - I'd be tired of my own questions!) I asked via email and answered them swiftly. One thing I would note is that the garden is very steep in some of the slopes given the fact that it's on a rock and you can't do much about that. So you need extra extra care with children under 5. We knew we wouldn't be able to let the kids run free whilst at the cottage but we still booked because we can manage that with the positives the cottage has to offer. We had three adults to supervise and they were happy enough on the patio. Plus the children ran free on the many beaches on offer so they didn't feel restricted. So altogether it was a beautiful place to stay.

Rock Cottage is a wonderful place to escape to and enjoy the tranquility of a Cornish Creek. The bird life is amazing and the vista is ever changing. We also found it very sheltered from the wind and enjoyed sitting out even when the weather worsened towards the end of our holiday. The cottage itself is a lovely character property with all amenities you could want. Despite its quiet location it is also well situated to visit many beautiful beaches and villages on the Lizard and beyond.

Wonderful views, peaceful location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rock Cottage. As soon as we walked through the gate and saw the view we immediately started to relax. The changing of the tide, the birds on the creek and in the garden all helped us connect with nature. We walked miles on the coast path and visited many lovely places. Cottage was very clean, cosy and well equipped. Just what we needed. Great weather an added bonus. Would strongly recommend it. A real tonic for these difficult times. The little goodies also appreciated and even some snacks for our dogs! Thanks for letting us stay.

Cosy Cottage in Stunning Location
Pristine property in a hideaway location with extensive grounds including private waterfront and jetty. Rock Cottage surpassed all our expectations. The ever changing views from the kitchen and garden of the tidal river are mesmerising. If you can tear yourself away from the well equipped, cosy cottage, there is so much to do and see within easy reach. The nearby Ship Inn does excellent food in the evenings which is a 10-15 minute walk into the village. There is also a well equipped local shop here. 15 minutes in the other direction from the cottage is Gear Farm. Their award winning Cornish Pasties are not to be missed! Perfect to take on a hike as they stay warm for hours. We enjoyed exploring and managed to see all the bits of Cornwall we came to see, and a lot more from this base. The hosts have thought of everything and the treats on arrival were very much appreciated! We will return.

Lovely cottage with amazing views
My wife and I stayed for 10 nights with my parents and had a lovely family holiday. We were so fortunate with the weather meaning we got to enjoy the amazing views across the creek with blue sky and sunshine. We took our kayaks and got up to Helford on high tide, which is a really quaint village with a fantastic pub (Shipwright Arms), which is right on the river. The pub near the cottage (the Ship Inn) is also fantastic which does the best fish n chip takeaway we’ve ever had! We also explored many of the beaches in the area with Kennack sands being a favourite (best for our dog Sonny) and Mullion and Porthleven are also great little harbour spots, with the latter having great pubs, restaurants and beach shops to explore. Kynance cove is stunning and a must see. Will miss our mornings waking up at the cottage and watching the woodpeckers, nuthatch and many more visiting the bird table in the garden. Would definitely return.

Wonderful location & spectacular views from this quaint little cottage. The garden is just beautiful & with the added bonus of the jetty & the rowing boat ‘Peggy’, there’s plenty to do without moving from your base. Having older boys the separate Garden Room was perfect for the boys to stay in. Feel like we’ve been away for much longer than one week, definitely more of a chilled holiday. Lots to do around the area too such as Coasteering & Surfing which the boys enjoyed & plenty of stunning walks. Ease of arriving & departing made it stress free too.

Potentially perfect.
The cottage has a lovely view overlooking Mawgan Creek which is just beautiful. The cottage itself is comfortable and clean. Unfortunately the cream carpets and pale furniture are accompanied by what only can be described as a rule book. In a rather accusatory tone, your ‘housekeeping deposit’ is threatened at every turn. It may come as a surprise to Linda that I didn’t travel all the way to Cornwall to specifically pour red wine on her sofa. It hardly makes for a relaxed atmosphere when you feel that drinking a cup of tea in the lounge is a criminal offence. There is also a road running right past the cottage, so it is not as peaceful as the advertising promises. You are given fair warning about the layout of the cottage, but I feel it’s worth mentioning that to reach a bathroom from any of the bedrooms involves either going outside or down a very steep staircase, which is not ideal at night. I have stayed in many cottages over the years and have never had an experience quite like this. The view and luxury toiletries are unfortunately not quite enough to persuade me to come back.
