River Journey in Falmouth, Cornwall

River Journey Self-Catering

On the picturesque banks of the Helford estuary, this traditional cottage opens its doors to the timeless charm of riverside living.

Inside, you’ll find a cosy sanctuary perfectly designed for a rural retreat. The living and dining room boasts an inglenook fireplace – this is a lovely spot to curl up on the sofa with a book or gather around the table for a candlelit meal. Head upstairs and you’ll find the landing opens up onto a small patio. From here you can enjoy quintessential countryside scenes whilst relaxing in one of the garden chairs. And when the weather is cool and crisp, you’ll love the feeling of walking back into this snug home for a long soak in the bath and a restorative night’s sleep.

Days can be spent exploring the ancient oak forests, sheltered valleys and hidden creeks along the river. And whether you’re hiking, cycling or simply admiring the scenery, this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) will capture your heart and imagination with its array of wonderful villages and character-filled pubs. There’s also easy access to Lizard Point – a must-visit spot on your adventures across Cornwall's southern tip.
