Area Located near the mouth of the Helford River in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Mawnan Smith is a pretty little village. It is home to a traditional pub overlooking the water, a restaurant, a church and a handful of shops. The surrounding area is perfect for ramblers, with an abundance of creekside and woodland walks, and subtropical gardens at Glendurgan and Trebah. The Helford River also offers opportunities for kayaking and sailing as well as fishing. The nearby maritime town of Falmouth is a popular resort, with a range of shops and restaurants, bowling alley and the National Maritime Museum…. Or why not catch the ferry from Helford Passage to Helford Village and explore the picturesque South Helford? Enterprise Boats offer trips up the River Fal from Falmouth to Truro, passing iconic maritime locations and landmarks as well as several ocean-going vessels which anchor in the river.
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.

Helpful Holidays lived up to their name as usual.. The cottage was all that we expected and a bit more - very comfortable, exceedingly well equipped and a view to die for, plus the location was ideal from which to explore our favourite part of Cornwall. The owners gave us a very warm welcome and provided good advice on places to visit. We didn't want to leave!

The holiday property was very comfortable and well equipped.. The Lodge had stunning views of the sea and the gardens surrounded the property were delightful - it is also very well situated for the coastal walks and other gardens in the area. The owners were very helpful and we would certainly make a return visit there. We had a lovely holiday!

The entry gave the impression of access to a large garden.. In fact the owners handbook gave the impression that guests were only allowed in a small and ill-defined area. Otherwise the property was warm and clean and the area exceptional.

There were far too many "instructions" in the property - don't do this, don't do that, etc.. I also had to make an important business call during the stay and strayed onto the owners patio to get a good signal and was immediately and rudely instructed to "get off". I would not recommend this property to anyone.

A lovely holiday property spoilt somewhat by the over-fussy owners placing messages everywhere indicating that holidaymakers couldn't be trusted to respect the contents of the property, e.. G. "Don't open the patio doors as they may slam and the lock may get stuck!" "The Teddy bears live here and don't want to be taken away." Surely the defective lock should have been remedied by the owners? One of the bathrooms lacked any shelving to accommodate toiletries but in general the bungalow was comfortable and well equipped. On the positive side there were delightful walks from the property.
