Rose Cottage 3

From the stable door of Rose Cottage 3, you’ll catch a glimpse of the sea, as the beach lies just a few steps away. Stroll down first thing in the morning for a refreshing dip before breakfast. After all, there are very few better ways to start a day than with a swim in calm waters where nature enriches the landscape. One of the most sought-after properties in the Cornish Holiday Cottages portfolio, Rose Cottage 3 shares its spot on the river with cormorants and herons and the handful of other cottages that make up this idyllic little hamlet.

Supremely characterful and full to the brim with that traditional Cornish cottage charm, the open-plan living and kitchen area leads you out to the courtyard garden shared with two other cottages (which are also available to rent) to enjoy shared moments. The woodburner sets the atmosphere for evenings nestled beside the fire, unwinding after days spent out playing in nature.

Anyone who has spent time on the Helford will tell you of its magic. Adventurous families might take to the water for thrilling boat trips or kayaking expeditions, readers will enjoy finding sunny spots to settle down on one of the many beaches that line the shores, while ramblers will embrace the footpaths that weave from sea to woodland and back again in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

As the walkers and day-trippers head out at the end of the day, Durgan basks in the hush that envelops it. Wrap up and watch the sunset from the tree stump on the hill overlooking the hamlet, telling stories or making plans for tomorrow as you do. On a clear night, the sky becomes a canvas for stars, while at certain times of the year phosphorescence gleams in the water with each breaking wave. Memories are made on holiday – and the ones made at Rose Cottage 3 are sure to last a lifetime.
