“Mark and Teresa at Beacon View are lovely people who went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable.”

The location is an ideal base to explore from and it is peace and quiet personified. We cannot wait to be back in Cornwall again !
Mr Constable June 2019

“On arrival at Beacon View, we were personally welcomed by the owners, Mark and Theresa; who were very friendly, and took the time to provide some useful suggestions on things to see and places to eat in the area.”

The location of the cottage is delightful, being set on 11 acres of pristine farmland, with chickens and goats, and a view of the Cornish hills. If you’re looking for a rural and peaceful retreat, then Beacon view should tick your box. It is also in a perfect location to visit St Ives, Falmouth, Mousehole, Charlestown, and all the other key locations you can think of around Cornwall. The cottage is a perfect space for a couple, with a design that retains all of its original rustic charm but adding modern comforts, such as great WiFi, a Netflix enabled TV, and an Alexa connected to Apple Music. My wife and I spent most nights listening to music playing the great selection of board games provided, whilst watching the sunset from the window. The facilitates are brilliant, with a powerful shower, comfortable bed, and a brand new kitchen and utensils. The cottage is also eco-friendly, and essentially off grid. This is a real bonus for us as we both try to be ecologically aware as possible. Overall I would highly recommend staying at Beacon Farm if you are visiting Cornwall as a couple. The owners are absolutely fantastic and are willing to answer any questions and offer extensive advice during your stay. The cottage itself is comfortable, clean, cosy, and in a perfect location for getting around. As a personal recommendation, we also suggest you visit the Star Inn situated in Porkellis for dinner and drinks one night. The food and service is fantastic, and the owners are a hoot! On a final note, Sykescottages were an absolute delight to deal with. The selection of cottages on offer is outstanding, and the service really has been above and beyond. They also provide you with a great app you can download making viewing your booking, and activities in the area an easy experience. I will be using Sykes for all my cottage bookings going forward. Thank you all for a brilliant holiday!

About the location

HELSTON

Porthleven 3 miles; Falmouth 12 miles; Penzance 14 miles.

Helston lies at the western gateway to the Lizard Peninsula, a large area of downland fringed by a beautiful and spectacular coastline. Helston is a pleasant busy market town famous for its Flora Day Festival and the many stories and legends about the "Furry Dance" are told in the fascinating Helston Folk Museum. Nearby is the Poldark Mine, one of the best underground experiences in the south west and which tells of the widespread mining heritage of this area. Nestled in a tranquil setting is the National Seal Sanctuary on the Helford River, where there is plenty of entertainment watching seals play and feed. If it is thrill rides that excites you, then Flambards theme park will keep you amused all day and also has excellent living history experiences. Further afield is the harbour town of Falmouth to the east and Land's End to the west. Helston is a wonderful holiday destination offering plenty of attractions for the whole family.
