Accommodation overview: These sympathetically refurbished barns and modern, purpose-built properties for couples, are set around a secluded sub-tropical garden close to the romantic Helford river made famous by Daphne Du Maurier’s novel Frenchman’s Creek. The holiday properties enjoy a secluded spot deep in the unspoilt area of North Helford, near Cornwall’s almost tropical coast. Penpoll and Porthallow are on the edge of the Tresooth Holiday Complex with an unfenced ornamental pond in front. The village of Mawnan Smith is under a mile and a half away, and provides excellent dining and country pubs. The surrounding area is home to several excellent Cornish gardens such as Trebah and Penjerrick. The secluded beach at Durgan is accessed by a path 5 kms away and provides excitement for young and old as they explore the track down to the beach where they are amazed at the seclusion, the mild climate and the sandy beach that combine to create a Mediterranean feel to the area.
The Helford river is best explored by boat which can be obtained at Port Navas, the heart of Cornwall’s oyster industry (the yacht club offers temporary membership to visitors). In fact the area is a boating ‘mecca’ as the opportunity to explore inland creeks, coves and rivers as well as the open sea is tantalisingly close by. The Argal reservoir and water park is under a mile away and provides excellent world class fly and coarse fishing, recreation area, bird watching and it has its own watersports park with boats available.
The large seafaring town of Falmouth is also close by, 2½ miles, and offers the chance to meander the streets and open quays to sample the local sea food, shopping and pubs.

For more inquisitive minds visit the Goonhilly Earth Station visitors centre or the Porthallow vineyard and sample a strong Cornish liquor or country wine.
