Area
Helford is a picturesque village on the south side of the Helford River. Helford is very popular with its thatched cottages, excellent village stores and especially The Shipwrights Arms, right on the edge of the creek with its waterside terrace. Just a short walk away is Frenchman’s Creek, immortalised by Daphne du Maurier. The Helford River Sailing Club is very popular and a regatta is held every August. In the summer a passenger ferry runs to Helford passage, the home of the Ferryboat Inn, and nearby to the gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan. The wildlife on the Helford River is diverse and a birdwatcher’s paradise.

Region
Cornwall's visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tiny fishing villages, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Whatever the reason, Cornwall has long cemented its place as one of Britain's premier holiday destinations.

The cottage is lovely, clean and cosy, the only problem we had was the microwave but it didn't spoil our stay and we would recommend the cottage..

The cottage itself was good - what was described.. It was comfortable and well equipped. The only disappointment was that the shower did not have particularly hot water, indeed luke warm at best. The owner was told of the situation, however did not seem overly interested and did absolutely nothing about it.

Second year running I’ve booked my Cornish holiday through Sykes.. Very easy and friendly to deal with, both via the app/online and over the phone. ‘Bolitho’s Retreat’ was a lovely 1 bed getaway; very well appointed, and maintained. It was clear the owners had gone an extra step in fitting the rental out with touches to make it feel like a home. Very quite location, 10 mins walk to a pub with excellent food and the location gave easy access to the Lizard, West Cornwall and the Falmouth areas Only thing missing, and this is purely personal, was WiFi. We had no phone signal in the cottage and this would have aided us in staying in contact with family. As I said, purely personal as I know a lot of folk like to ‘getaway’ when on Holliday. Thanks to the owners Scott and Vicky who we met on arrival - a great stay

The cottage was in a quiet village and was central to the coastal beaches.. There was a pub about a ten minute walk from the cottage and a shop ten minute drive in next village. Footpaths handy for dog walking and there were dog friendly beaches within a twenty minute drive. The cottage was well equipped and pleasantly decorated.
