What our guests say about us
We had a fabulous week at the Helford Farmhouse. Great location, beautiful house, couldn’t have asked for more. The village stores down the road is superb and everything else was perfect. The location is ideal as you’re never more than a few minutes drive from beaches or nearby attractions.
Safe to say, we’ll be back as it’s the best house/location we’ve had in the area in many years.
Lovely old house in a lovely location with great beaches all nearby. Lots of facilities in the village, great pub and well stocked shop.- even a brass band and a fish and chip/pizza van.
Brilliant host with lots of local information – not all beaches nearby allow dogs but we found a few which did. Paddle boarding in Porthleven was a highlight as was beautiful Kynance Cove. When the sun shines you cant beat Cornwall !
We loved the house, it’s the best we’ve stayed in. The host met us when we arrived and was just lovely, very friendly and helpful. The house was very clean, very spacious, and very well equipped. The views facing the river were amazing.
We had fun exploring the area, we recommend the Boatyard Cafe, The Black Swan, and croquet on the lawn in the evenings. We would love to stay again, can’t recommend it highly enough!
We had the most fantastic time in Cornwall largely due to this accomodation being so well set up for our family. Really clean and child friendly with lots of outdoor space for the kids to play in.
Great bbq area and lounge for relaxing in the evening.
Lovely views from the main bedroom and dining area of the Helford. Really well situated with village shop, pub and boat yard cafe within a 5 minute walk and close to the seal sanctuary.
Thank you for sharing your home with us. We have loved staying here. I very much enjoyed the books on art and the paintings and easel made me feel very much at home. We have enjoyed Gweek and the surrounding area and meeting the locals.
We have been to so many dog friendly beaches but our favourite was Gunwalloe – when the tide went out it revealed amazing hidden rock pools and beautiful golden sand. It was our pup’s first birthday and I can honestly say I’ve never seen her so happy. Will be heading home tomorrow sun bleached and sandy but with the biggest smiles.
This is a very beautiful property in a wonderful location. There is also a beautifully kept and quite spacious garden. We had 4 adults and 4 young children and all of us fit in comfortably.
Poldhu beach is about 12 minutes away by car, which is honestly one of the best beaches in Cornwall and there are lots of others not far. Porthleven is also close. Helford is close too. Gweek itself is a nice little village with a really good shop, cafe and pub, there is also fish and chips on the green on Wednesday nights with a brass band. It seemed like all of the locals were in attendance. We had a great time, lovely place.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! We have really enjoyed the spacious house and tranquility of the grounds. Perfect for our group to have space to relax.
Gweek is charming and we enjoyed surfing at Poldhu beach. A visit or two to the seal sanctuary is also a lovely pastime. The New Yard restaurant was a very special place for an anniversary dinner.
This beautiful house will forever be the palace we fell in love. This area of Cornwall is just stunning, the locals are wonderful, the food fantastic and the stunning landscape and beaches take your breath away. Highly recommend going to the Cadgwith Cove Inn, Kynance Cove and a trip out to St Mawes and the Hidden Hut. This house has been a beautiful home base for us and it has a magical energy, calm and quiet, I will never forget this trip.
The house was great, very private and the hosts were always on hand for any issues, but I’m pleased to say there were no issues at all! The property is very spacious and secure, our dog loved it there. We got very lucky with the weather and the beaches were wonderful. Thank you for a great stay.
Spacious and comfortable house located in a quiet village but close to all the area’s attractions. Plenty of garden space for games and a terrace area for family dinners and barbecues.
Good local pub within walking distance and a small shop for basic provisions. Plenty to do along the Helford Estuary and the coast.
A large airy house with lovely views .Well placed for exploring Cornwall. In Gweek itself there’s a fish and chips van/pizza van if you want a night off cooking.
There’s also Trebah Garden nearby which is really beautiful. Kynance beach offers a wonderful walk.
What a beautiful house and the perfect place to spend an escapist week. We re-discovered some old friends, like Scott’s Creek and Slide, while adding new delights, such as the Minack Theatre and the Barbican Bistro in Penzance. We are sorry to leave this special place.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, it has been the perfect haven. We’ll miss all the space and gardens! We loved visiting Potager Garden, Slice, Mussel Shoal and our favourite was definitely Kynance Cove. We hope to be back in the future!
We’ve had the most glorious week in this beautiful place. A whole week of sunshine! Our favourite things: Praa Sands, paddleboarding on the Helford, kayaking out of Mullion, Kynance Beach, and fish and chips on the green! And of course sundowners in the lovely garden 🙂
A lovely period house with lots of charm in a beautiful location. Lots of places to visit by car. The lanes can be tricky if you aren’t familiar with Cornish countryside. Overall a lovely stay and we enjoyed the charm and character of Gweek and the surrounding locations.
A remarkable and special place with truly welcoming and caring hosts. There is an enormous amount to do locally but we also enjoyed being in the house and gardens, with its inspiring views and comfortable, warm decoration. Every need catered for and a really family-friendly home. Thank you!
Thank you for a really lovely stay. We loved all the thoughtful touches of fresh flowers and children’s books. And the views from the bedrooms windows…they were just magic.
As shown, the house is a pearl in terms of equipment and comfort. The beds very good everything fresh and clean. The host was there to help with any questions. A very pleasant stay. Thanks very much!
A beautiful house and garden, in a wonderful location. Olga was a fantastic host and I would recommend staying at the property in Gweek to anyone.
We had a lovely stay. Super, well equipped clean house, roomy and homely. A very special week and Olga was very quick to help.
A hidden gem. The house is amazing, everything you need for a relaxing holiday with thoughtful touches throughout. Location is fantastic, a short drive from idyllic beaches. Hosts were so helpful and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back for a longer stay.
What a lovely place to stay. House is stunning, clean and thoughtfully furnished. Beautiful setting to switch off and be in nature. Hosts were welcoming with lots of great tips and suggestions. Highly recommend!
A lovely stay at a beautiful house in a great location, peaceful yet close to good local restaurants, excellent walks and beaches
