Summary

Words cannot describe how incredibly beautiful and comfortable this boutique style, waterside apartment is. Following a complete renovation during the spring of 2017, the Upper Deck now features a stunning open plan kitchen/dining and living area, opening onto the creek side balcony. There are two bathrooms and three bedrooms.

This south-facing holiday apartment sits right on the quayside at Port Navas Yacht Club, on the creek side of the Helford River. Occupying the first floor, it offers gorgeous views from the living room, kitchen and master bedroom. Beautifully furnished and well equipped, Upper Deck is ideal for anyone looking for a self-catering holiday away from the hustle and bustle. Sailing enthusiasts will be in their element! Outside, a large balcony runs the full width of the property and offers great views, peace and tranquillity.

This centrally heated property welcomes a well behaved dog and there are some delightful walks nearby including many dog-friendly beaches and coves. The approach is via a flight of wooden, open tread steps and is therefore not recommended for anyone with mobility issues or those with very small children.

A further 6 persons can hire the Lower Deck. In all, the Lower and Upper Deck’s, in this exceptional position, can sleep up to 12 people.

Location and Surrounding Area

Loading...

Port Navas is a small village at the head of Port Navas Creek on the north side of the Helford River, 2 miles from both Constantine and Mawnan Smith near Falmouth.

The apartment is situated on the quay originally used for shipping out granite stone. The area is now a peaceful haven with wooded shores and many local walks, within the North Helford conservation area and many lovely, safe, sandy beaches within ten to fifteen minutes drive. The Budock Vean Hotel with its 9 hole golf course, private swimming pool and restaurant open to non-residents, is five minutes away by car.

Sailing facilities on the beautiful Helford River are among the finest in England.

Port Navas Yacht Club is your local watering hole. This little gem on the edge of Port Navas creek serves great food and drink but booking ahead is almost always necessary. Dogs and children welcome.

With boats and moorings available for hire locally, this is an ideal base from which to explore the area. For boat moorings/berths in Port Navas contact Tom on 01326 340525. The creek itself dries for about two hours either side of low tide.

Falmouth is only six miles away and this interesting old town has retained the charm of an old fishing port and offers good shopping facilities, restaurants and traditional Cornish pubs.

There are several beautiful sub tropical gardens nearby and ample opportunity for picturesque, waterside walks.

Reviews

Mrs Gibbons

Extremely comfortable, lovely and clean. We felt warm and welcomed from the moment we arrived. Everything was true to the details and photos. You can’t get closer to the Helford without a boat!

Response

We are delighted that you enjoyed the lovely Upper Deck and its close proximity to the Helford River. The view is something else isn't it. Please do visit again and thanks for being such a fantastic guest. Best wishes, Emily
