The Approach

Pass down a hill, on a narrow no through lane, overhung with Cornish oaks, arrive at the shore and before you will be a sheltered sandy cove. Backing the cove and set on the Helford, a conservation river, is Helford Passage. A hamlet of less than forty dwellings, clustered around the old Ferry Boat Inn, facing due South across the estuary and just two miles from the open sea.


When you are there

Daydream - sit and stare at the water - walk on the beach - breathe in the pure air of the Atlantic Ocean - listen to the lapping of the waves on the shore - make coffee - talk - laugh - take your time - read - write - luxuriate in the cosiness of the underfloor heating - sink into a comfortable sofa - have a leisurely breakfast - bask in the warmth of the log fire of the Ferry Boat Inn. Above all, let the tensions melt away.

"the Helford River has the finest micro-climate in the UK"
