    “We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Penarvon House.”

    Having not visited Cornwall prior to this week, we could not have picked a better spot to drink it all in. The views from the patio are spectacular and the charm and convenience of the little village of Helford down the hillside were exactly what we were seeking. Our only hitches were that the Welcome Email from Sykes did not specify the combination code for the key in the lockbox. We had a mild panic but after a few calls were able to sort it out with the housekeeper. The second hitch was ...

    Having not visited Cornwall prior to this week, we could not have picked a better spot to drink it all in. The views from the patio are spectacular and the charm and convenience of the little village of Helford down the hillside were exactly what we were seeking. Our only hitches were that the Welcome Email from Sykes did not specify the combination code for the key in the lockbox. We had a mild panic but after a few calls were able to sort it out with the housekeeper. The second hitch was we misinterpreted the description of the bedrooms being on the main level. They are not. We improvised and fashioned a bedroom for my mobility challenged mother in the laundry room and were able to wheel her down the yard and around to the lower level to shower, so it worked out. Just for future information if someone is not able to do any stairs, this is not the home for you. Again the experience at Penarvon was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it if you plan to cook any of your meals (which you will if you stay here because the Kitchen is absolutely wonderful!) I've never stayed in a vacation home with a better stocked kitchen which literally had EVERY tool, pan, knife, serving dish, etc. we needed. This is a 5 Star vacation home and I can't recommend it highly enough!

The property

Penarvon House is a spectacular holiday home, idyllically overlooking the Helford Estuary on the Lizard Peninsular.

Set over three floors and with an exquisite interior, this superbly located, detached house is an incredible spot to bring friends and family together for a holiday to remember.

The high ceiling inside the property gives it a spacious feel that will allow you to feel right at home.

The living areas are tremendously finished; the sitting room is graced by snug sofas, a Smart TV and a wonderful fireplace housing a warming open fire to make those nights in extra special.

The spacious kitchen/diner boasts spectacular countryside views, as well as all of the necessary appliances you could possibly need, packed away neatly inside the stylish blue units.

There is also a fabulously appointed games room to make the most of on a rainy day, complete with a snooker table.

Three of the four bedrooms rest on the lower ground floor, including a fabulous four poster double bedroom, uplifted by scenery-filled windows creating the perfect sight to wake up to each morning.

This floor also occupies a stunning family bathroom.

A roomy king-size bedroom enjoys an elevated position on the first floor, showcasing the best views of the house towards the River Helford.

The gardens here at Penarvon House are extensive, formal and simply wonderful; a patio area provides a heavenly spot to enjoy a relaxing drink or an alfresco meal.

Helford is a pleasant village offering a highly-regarded foodie pub and a well-stocked shop.

The whole of the Lizard Peninsula is accessible from the property, with the most southerly spot in Britain at Lizard Point.

A remarkable property in a fine Cornish location.

Note: This property has a refundable Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

About the location

HELFORD

Helston 10 miles; Lizard 11 miles; Redruth 17 miles; Falmouth 18 miles.

Helford is a picturesque village on the south side of the Helford River popular for its beautiful setting, thatched cottages, and popular village inn, The Shipwrights Arms, set right on the edge of the creek with its waterside terrace. Just a short walk away is Frenchman’s Creek, immortalised by Daphne du Maurier. The Helford River Sailing Club is very popular and a regatta is held every August. In the summer a passenger ferry runs to Helford passage, the home of the Ferryboat Inn, and nearby to the gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan. The wildlife on the Helford River is diverse and a birdwatcher’s paradise.
