Helston Cottages

Helston and the Lizard Peninsula are two hidden holiday gems that offer a unique blend of natural beauty and fascinating history. This small market town is known for its charming streets, historic architecture, and lively events, including the famous Furry Dance, held every May. The Lizard Peninsula, located just a short drive away, is a rugged and wild landscape of towering cliffs, hidden coves, and sweeping beaches. Explore the stunning Kynance Cove, take a walk along the South West Coast Path, or visit the iconic Lizard Lighthouse. The area is also home to the National Trust-owned Gunwalloe Church Cove, where Poldark was filmed, and the historic fishing village of Cadgwith. With the largest selection of Cornish holiday cottages, we have something for everyone. From affordable to luxurious, from dog-friendly to child-friendly for large families and groups of friends wanting to celebrate to cosy Cornish hideaways perfect for two. For a break from the ordinary discover the comfort of one of our Helston cottages.
