Expect a warm welcome and a portion fit for a pirate. Treat yourself to the Cornish lobster.
A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. Over time these have evolved into the Classic Guide.

There's sub-tropical lushness around every corner at this stunning garden on the banks of the Helford River. The views from the 18th Century house across the garden to the river are not to be missed. Wend your way through camellia groves and chusan palms, woodlands and bamboo; meander alongside pools and streams, giant-leafed gunnera and hydrangeas, to emerge onto Trebah's private beach. Perfect for a swim and a picnic in summer. Not picnic weather? Head to the award-winning Trebah Kitchen or have a browse in the gift shop and plant centre. One of Cornwall's, if not England's, finest gardens.

This is a mainly stone cove, just South of the village centre. It can be reached just off the coastal path and dogs are permitted on this beach all year. The water here is crystal clear.

You will find both a traditional pub and Oceanview restaurant here serving a wide range of food. With outside seating and views of the sea it's a popular place to sit and watch the world go by. Parking is limited and it does get busy in summer. A good stopping off point for coastal path walkers.

Between Kennack Sands and Cadgwith. A rocky cove where the remains of a pilchard fishery can still be seen.

A lush river valley landscape of ancient woodlands tumbling down to the banks of the still, blue waters; the views will not disappoint. Utterly undisturbed, with little pockets of civilisation popping up at convenient intervals, anywhere along the Helford River will make for the perfect holiday. Kick off your deck shoes and dangle your toes in contentment, you'll feel a world away in seconds.

This 16th century thatched village pub close to the Helford river has a lot to offer. Child and dog friendly means that the whole family are welcome! What better place to enjoy good food and drink after a walk in the beautiful countryside?

One of several small coves opposite St. Anthony Beach. Access is limited due to lack of parking although alternative access is available by parking at St. Anthony and taking the passenger ferry across the creek (ask in the boat hire shop). The cove is sheltered, quiet and good for young children.

Refurbished in 2018, this pub opens all day and offers indoor and outside seating. In good weather the outdoor seats are at a premium and it's a great place to sit and watch the boats come and go along the estuary. Parking is up the hill so be prepared to walk as there's no parking on site.

A good stopping off point if you are in the area or walking the coastal path. A small pub and good for refreshments as the area is pretty rural, close to Kennack Sands.
