RIDIFARNE is one of the finest private houses available for self-catering holiday letting in South-West Cornwall. It is spacious, able to sleep 8, a well-appointed cottage-style house set in 3 acres of lovely grounds in a truly spectacular position right beside the beautiful Helford River. It is the Owners' second home and as such is very well equipped and in first class condition.
South facing, with direct access to the beach and river, Ridifarne enjoys the best of Cornwall’s gentle climate. The uninterrupted view from the terrace running the whole length of the house 20m above the river is breathtaking.
The Helford River is one of the most sought-after locations in Cornwall, loved for its unspoilt and protected sailing waters and made famous by Daphne du Maurier’s best-selling novel ‘Frenchman’s Creek’.
