The view from Coastguards was amazing. We sat down on the enclosed front porch, in some comfy chairs and took it all in. Stunning . From our lovely home , we could see Gyllyngvase Beach and all the happy people walking around . It was beautiful.
Dinyial
This view every morning from Shearwater cottage absolutely made our holiday. The most peaceful and tranquil setting, hard to believe it was the summer holidays, the Helford River and its creeks really are a hidden treasure of Cornwall!

Gylly beach in Falmouth -always the place to be, we had a great holiday again
Alison
This is the view we loved. Sitting on the deck amongst the wonderful trees and looking at the Helford river. This year we brought a small dinghy and what a difference that made— to view the area from the water.
Bob & Jennie
The true value of a room with a view; from the cottage towards the Helford River by night.

2 Victoria Quay has been totally redecorated and was a wonderful place for our hols, we have already reserved 2 weeks next year. Below is the view from the sitting room window and does not do it justice.

We have stayed in other Cornish Holiday Cottages before, this one proved as excellent. Perfectly placed within a short walk of Swanpool beach, where we hired kayaks, and ate yummy lunches. From the beach, we could hop on the local bus into Falmouth which took ten minutes, or a ten-minute walk along the cliff. Truly a special family holiday thank you.

Sunrise at Sunrise ! We set the alarm early to watch the sun from the balcony, beautiful, tranquil and forever remembered.
Alison
Just recently stayed in Durgan (Durgan Burgan according to my 3 year old) and it remains the most wonderful place in the world, 20 years on from when I was last there. Thank you!
Elizabeth
It's just a short walk to visit the castle, a sandy beach, rock pools, maritime museum, shops & restaurants.
Emma and her family
WOW!! From the moment we arrived and saw the view from the holiday apartment, we already didn't want to leave.

So many photos to choose from, but a seagull, fishing boats, blue sky and water sums up the whole holiday!
Gail and Rob
Everywhere you go in the area gives you stunning scenery to take you away from your everyday lives.
Jane
Everybody looks for something different from a holiday. For me, it's peace and relaxation , which definitely comes from this view over the Fal from Victoria Quay 6.

'Thanks for helping me choose such a wonderful place for us to stay. Our friends and our dog loved our stay. The walk through the woods was very special and the sunsets and stars were lovely. It was just the break we needed. The cottage had all we needed.'

Morning swims in Durgan followed by a hot shower in the wet room are why I keep coming back here.

Frenchman's Creek, January 2022. T-shirt weather, and the river to ourselves! Sailed from Lower Deck, Port Navas.

Christmas 2021 at The Old Kiln was wonderful. One member of our party was kayaking on Christmas Eve and then decided to jump off the quay into the creek, one of many wonderful days at Port Navas.

Our wonderful view of Falmouth Bay from the verandah. A beautiful room to sit and relax in and enjoy the panoramic views of the bay.
Sharon & Andy
Our favourite memory, our view from the verandah (and lounge and bedroom) of Gwel-an Heylyn, where we have had our second most amazing holiday and are already booked for next Summer. Such a wonderful ‘escape’ in the most beautiful holiday home.
Mark and Deb Sanderson
Some photos of the wonderful views at different times of the day across the bay from our stay at Coastguards near Pendennis Point, July 2021. From the vibrant colours to the tropical plants, we truly felt as though we were abroad! Inspiring! Thanks, Rachel.
Rachel
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Upper Deck, the ability to launch a kayak from the jetty below the apartment and paddle up the Helford River was just amazing. I took this photo one calm evening on the opposite side of the creek, looking towards Quay House. We hope to return to this beautiful, peaceful spot. You can sit all day just watching the changing scene of the tidal creek, it is so relaxing. Thank you Cornish Holidays. Sue, John, Francesca and Kate.

We love this property for its proximity to the sea. This ground floor apartment has its very own small balcony with steps directly onto the beach or into the sea - depending on the tide. We have enjoyed the quietness and the views for several years and will continue to do so. The ever-moving scenery is lovely. And all so close to the town. This year we all had a go at paddleboarding with varying success!!! The ease of getting on and off the board at high or low tide is the best. Then up the steps to the cosy indoors and a yummy Cornish pasty. What more could you want from a holiday. We will be back!
Natalie & Family
Darcy enjoying the view from the terrace of Le Coin Perdu. Fabulous cottage and we all enjoyed our stay.
