A traditional Cornish pub with roaring log fire to keep you warm in winter and lots of outside seating with a sea view for the summer months. Car parking is available and dogs are welcome. A popular place, best to book ahead at busy times.
Locally caught fish, 'n' chips to take away or eat in the small restaurant.
A wide swathe of sand that draws families here every summer, Praa Sands beach faces south and is said to benefit from the longest sunshine hours of any place in the country. Praa Sands is one of the few south coast bays to enjoy great, consistent waves and as such is a magnet for surfers.
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.
This delightful pub offers a warm welcome to all. There are regularly live bands playing at the pub. In the summer months why not enjoy a drink and perhaps a bite to eat out on the decking whilst you take in the magnificent sea view!
Park opposite the chapel and walk either way around Loe Pool. It's about six miles and a lovely walk through woodland where it can be muddly in winter, and across the sand bar. There's a cafe at The Stables which serves great coffee and cake (only open weekends during winter). Check the route map at the car park before you set off to ensure you know where you are going.
A traditional Cornish pub with outside seating and parking at the rear of the building down a narrow lane. There are regular quiz nights and entertainment and food is served daily.
This place is smack bang in the centre of Helston and offers American style food including burgers and shakes. It is really popular (always a good sign) so you're best to book in advance.
A small village on the road to Gunwalloe Church Cove. Quaint thatched cottages and a pub.
Overlooking Porthleven harbour this restaurant offers simple food from the freshest ingredients including the "Porthleven Fish Dish" , a special created using fish purchased straight from local fishermen - whatever they catch that day!
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.
