“Absolutely lovely house and garden, location perfect as only metres from the sea so you can hear the waves.”

Lovely swim, walks for the dogs and us. Perfect holiday needed two weeks to make the journey worthwhile (traffic bad as expected this year). Took us back to childhood holidays, just what we needed so we booked for next year too. Very small double bed the only downside. Kate the cleaner/housekeeper and Dave the gardner lovely people first class holiday. Thank you!

“We had two fabulous weeks in this wonderful home.”

A truly beautiful part of Cornwall. The garden is amazing, enclosed for the dogs with views towards the sea. It is very secluded and peaceful, the perfect getaway if you like the quiet life . There are two rugged beaches at the end of the lane, perfect for water sports and rockpooling. Walks from the door, perfect for our four legged friends. The whole family loved it here. If you want crowds, pubs to walk to and night life then don’t come as the nearest pub is a 5-10 minute drive away down windy lanes. The house has one fault in that there is no shower cubicle, just shower over the bath with no curtain. (I noticed one review complained of no towels! But the description definitely tells you there are no towels! So bring your own.) That being said it didn’t detract from a fantastic holiday. The rest of the house is very clean and comfy. The housekeeper Kate was very accommodating when we needed her help. We’ve stayed in this area on many occasions but our first in this property and it definitely won’t be our last and have already booked for next year. Grace/Rhodes family

“Great house and location, only negative is the bathroom.”

After talking to the housekeeper and garden I understand that the owners will be installing a new shower room during the winter. With this information we have already booked another stay in 2022

“We have just had a wonderful week in flushing meadow.”

The house and gardens were gorgeous, fantastic location a stones throw to the beach will definitely be going back next year

“Large well equipped house and garden in a beautiful location, short walk down a single track road to a sea inlet with a stony beach and direct access to coastal path in both directions.”

Secluded and peaceful, perfect location to get away especially during these difficult times when you don't want to go anywhere with loads of people around. House was clean/tidy, and did display a list of the cleaning done to combat covid. Good base also for exploring Cornwall, be aware that the whole area is single track roads (some of which are more like cart-tracks) but the traffic volume is low so no real problem. We visited in October so the weather wasn't great, but despite the rain both ourselves and our 3 grandchildren really enjoyed it and would be more than happy to come back again.

“No towels. House grotty.”

No outside lights.

- Mr Haines, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are disappointed you did not contact us during your stay to discuss any issues you may have had. The outside light has been working so we were surprised by this, we will check it again. The property has never provided towels, this is on the marketing details. We were again surprised by your remark about the house as we have received positive feedback and many returning guests. Owner relations

“This is our 4th stay at Flushing Meadow, with 6 adults it really could do with an electric shower.”

Everything else is lovely.

“Really nice house, everything you needed, great location, would love a return visit.”

Mrs Hingley September 2019

“The setting is fabulous but the house is run down.”

The appliances need updating, couldn’t read times on microwave dial for example. Only two usable chairs of the garden furniture, and they were stained and dirty. The caretaker was extremely helpful when the power went off. The house was clean, but felt a bit grubby as really needs decorating. Despite this we had a wonderful time, though we wouldn’t stay in this property again.

Great views from the house and garden.

The property

Flushing Meadow, with sea views towards Falmouth Bay, is perfectly situated in the tiny unspoilt gem of Gillan village, on the mouth of the Helford River.

The property is placed in a quiet and rural idyll looking directly over its one acre garden and the ancient oak woodland valley to Gillan Greek and Dennis Head. The shingle beach at Flushing Cove, west of Gillan harbour, is a 250 yard walk down the road.

From there you can walk your dog west along the riverbank towards the civil parish of Manaccan or northwest to Helford village.

About 1.5 miles east lies the rocky Mên-aver Beach with further walks along Lestowder Cliff leading to Nare Point, the famed observation point with outstanding panoramic views to Falmouth. Gillan Cove can be reached after a five minute coastal path stroll, with St Anthony on the opposite bank of the creek with its fabulous sheltered beach where sailing boats, motorboats, kayaks and dinghies can be hired. There are many interesting fishing coves to visit on the Lizard Peninsula or the larger stretches of sand at Kennack, Poldhu and the spectacular National Trust Cove of Kynance.

The lively town of Falmouth is a half hour drive away.

Visit the popular Gyllyngvase Blue Flag status beach or walk the picturesque streets and browse the art and craft galleries.

Satisfy hunger in one of the restaurants or cafes and sample traditional Cornish ale from the many inns. This red brick house offers spacious, comfortable family accommodation, with a generous open plan sitting/dining room with double patio doors to one aspect overlooking the garden, with large lawn and sea views.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a good size and is well equipped.

The bedrooms are serene and welcoming, with sloping ceilings and brick feature fireplace.

About the location

MANACCAN

Helston 10 miles ; Helford 1.5 miles ; Porthallow 3 miles

The village of Manaccan on the South Helford is small and friendly, with an excellent restaurant, friendly village inn and a beautiful 12th century church. The South Helford is arguably one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of Cornwall. With meandering country roads, picturesque creeks, tidal inlets and pretty waterside villages, the area can be summed up in three words: tranquil, charming and timeless. The perfect spot for enjoying outdoor living, the South Helford’s sheltered coves were made for messing around on the water and strolling leisurely along the banks. Leave your ‘phone behind and embrace the simple pleasures - while away time paddling in the shallows, explore hidden coves with a hire boat from St Anthony, and stroll through woodland to enjoy a picnic on the beach.

Note: No cot or highchair are available at this property. Note: Sorry, towels are not provided. Note: There is a pond in the garden so children should be supervised.
