in a secluded location a minute's walk from the beach. Huefield
House, including its swimming pool, is decorated in a modern style by
its present owners
A one minute walk from the beach at Helford Passage on
the North bank of the beautiful Helford River. The Helford River is one
of the UK's most attractive locations and is on the Cornish Coastal path
only 8 miles from the port of Falmouth.
The swimming pool is 12 metres long and is available from
May to the end of September. It is heated and is normally kept in the
range 24-28 degrees C. It is for the exclusive use of guests and the owners
- inflatables are available to keep the young ones (and sometimes the
not so young) amused.
One of the most beautiful settings in Cornwall, the sheltered
Helford River, with its many creeks and small beaches, is a tranquil and
peaceful area. It can be explored using the coastal footpath, small boats
or sailing dinghies.
The hamlet of Helford Passage is an ideal base for holidays
- used by families, walkers and visitors who wish to 'get away from it
all' and explore this beautiful yet uncommercialised part of Cornwall.
Many return year after year. From April to the end of
October, the Helford Ferry, part of the Cornish Coastal Path, takes you
across the river to explore the village of Helford and further walks including
Daphne du Maurier's 'Frenchman's Creek'. The famous Ferryboat Inn provides
meals and refreshments throughout the day.
