Two 2-bedroom holiday flats in the small hamlet of Helford Passage with stunning views overlooking the beautiful Helford River.
Demelza consists of two flats plus the owner's accommodation. The stunning views and position just above the beach make it a great place to relax. There is always something to watch on the river, fishing boats returning with their catch, yachts creeping in and joining the throng on moorings, dinghy sailors, pleasure boats and the local gigs.
It is one of the loveliest areas in Cornwall, immortalised in Daphne du Maurier's "Frenchman's Creek". The air of mystery and romance is heightened by the dark shadows cast on the water on sunlight days. The estuary stretches inland for over 5 miles, from the wider bays in the east to Gweek in the West. As it narrows ancient oaks trees line the banks with their branches reaching down to the water. Small boats can be hired to explore the patchwork of creeks and inlets, a haven for wildlife. You may see dolphins, seals, herons and perhaps a darting kingfisher.
Locally a footpath leads to Durgan and onto Rosemullion Head. The National Trust owns much of the area. Trebah and Glendurgan are two renowned local Gardens. A passenger ferry service operates throughout the summer months, hence the name of the Ferryboat Inn. Across the water another pub awaits to welcome you, the Shipwrights Arms.
Falmouth is a bustling Seaport with plenty of restaurants, shops, Art theatre, Castle and the National Maritime Museum. Eden, Heligan and the famous cliff top Minack theatre each are just over an hours drive away.
