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. Sea fishing, diving and sightseeing trips are available in the town which is also home to the National Maritime Museum which houses many famous boats and provides an excellent day out. Mawnan Smith is ideally situated for a trip onto the Lizard Peninsula and a trip to the most southern point in the country. Meander down the country lanes, stopping off at the local pubs, tea rooms, and National Trust gardens, or spend an hour on a secluded beach or cove. For more inquisitive minds visit the Goonhilly Earth Station visitors centre or the Porthallow vineyard and sample a strong Cornish liquor or country wine. Cliff walks, cycling, horse riding, golf and leisure facilities available close by. Shops and pub 1½ miles. Living room open-plan with compact dining room and well-equipped kitchen area with Velux window and tiled floor. Two double bedrooms, each with en-suite shower room with Velux window and toilet.

Accommodation overview: Wonderful countryside, stunning beaches and friendly locals - the perfect combination for an unforgettable holiday experience.... Set in the heart of village life, Court Prior Farm is a lively working farm where lambs are in the pastures, cattle graze in the fields and the smell of the hay fills the air. In season guests may be able to bottle feed the lambs or feed the bullocks. Elderflower Barn (HDDI) and Cowslip Barn (HDDJ) have been converted from the old milking parlour and retain lovely original features, such as stone arch windows, and both have heavy beams and wooden floors. Each holiday property has a good sized lawned rear garden with pretty planted flower tubs and farming machinery decorating the driveway completes these two lovely adjoining properties. All three properties including Pear Tree House (HGGD) combine modern elements such as underfloor heating, vaulted open ceilings, wood-burning stoves and a farmhouse-style kitchen with granite worktops.
Court Prior Farm has an indoor heated swimming pool shared by all properties, with its own shower and pool house with sauna(sauna available from 2012). A hot tub is situated on the terrace amongst the pretty landscaping for all properties to share. All properties have their own changing room, toilet and access into the pool, via their own private patio areas. Elderflower Barn has a large patio area to the side with specimen trees planted into large tubs giving an almost Mediterranean feel. All three properties may be booked together for a wonderful family gathering to celebrate a special birthday or anniversary.
These three holiday properties would make a super location for a winter break, as well as a summer holiday enjoying the many glorious beaches of the South Devon coastline all within easy driving distance. Blackpool Sands is a fantastic family beach just 4 miles away, has a small shop and facilities as well as ample parking, and makes a lovely day out by the seaside. Slapton Sands is a lovely drive, with the sea on one side and the freshwater lagoon on the other. This area is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the birds and wildlife on the lagoon are amazing, so remember to bring a pair of binoculars. A little further along, the relic of the World War One tank can be recovered from the beach. Driving along inland a little way leads to the town of Kingsbridge.
Alternatively guests may enjoy visiting Dartmouth or Totnes, both just 4 miles away and both quite different. Totnes is a lively colourful town, full of different types of ethnic shops, and hosts a busy market day on Fridays and Saturdays. Dartmouth, nestling on the edge of the river Dart, has a strong maritime history and many designer shops and local artists. For great food the famous New Angel is located in Dartmouth, and is the ideal place for a special meal out. More local to the property is the village of Cornworthy - a quiet hamlet tucked away in the rolling Devon landscape - where there is a nice pub within walking distance which serves good food and real ales. There are many village pubs dotted all around this area including places to eat on the river at Tuckenhay, Ashprington and Dittisham. Shop 3½ miles (shop in Cornworthy open Sats).

Responsible tourism is a fundamental part of the business ethos and informs all that this family-run company does.
The Park is now open all year round, including Christmas, half terms and Easter, which is possible due to the introduction of central heating in all properties, including solar thermal systems, underfloor heating, and improved insulation and ventilation.
Eco lodges, built using sustainable materials with a low carbon rating, blend in beautifully with the landscaping and native planting around The Park. The range of cottages provides that extra touch of comfort and privacy.

The cottages at The Park have from one to six bedrooms. Each has been refurbished to the high standard that incorporates the ethos of sustainability, simplicity and comfort with a nostalgic twist. Windsong, ref. TCA, is also under the same ownership.

The beach provides something for everyone, from surfing, rock pooling, crabbing, kite flying, picnics during the day, to sunsets with a lazy beach barbecue to round off the perfect day.

Each of these holiday resorts offer their own unique charm and facilities, such as surf schools, a zoo, marine aquarium, off road cycling trails, kite surfing, sea fishing, kayaking, go karting, and world renowned chefs and their restaurants - Rick Stein in Padstow and Jamie Oliver at Watergate Bay in Newquay. This places The Park in the most enviable location to enjoy these bustling resorts while being able to retire to the peace and tranquillity at the end of the day.
If visitors feel the need to travel further afield, it is surprising how diverse a range of tourist attractions and quaint Cornish villages can be reached with ease, from National Trust houses and gardens, the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Roseland Peninsula and historic Bodmin Moor. The towns and villages to visit include Fowey, Falmouth, Port Isaac, St Ives, Truro and Mevagissey which all provide an excellent day out.

The Mill which once produced some of the finest paper in the land, nestles in the green and shady Bow Creek, a languid inlet of the River Dart where private yachts have replaced the old tall-masted ships and barges.

These listed buildings have been sympathetically restored and converted to a delightful range of holiday properties to suit larger family parties. Awards have been won for the conversion of buildings and the conservation of the area. With so much to do, many holidaymakers return year after year.

Families can spread out in Papermaker’s or Turbine Cottages, while Mill Lodge, Edgecombe Barn and Tuckenhay Mill House will sleep larger parties in comfort.
