Demelza 3

Demelza 3 is an upper-floor apartment in a private setting at Helford Passage, on the north bank of the Helford River. A full-width glass wall in the lounge frames uninterrupted views across the water. The apartment has 2 bedrooms and sleeps 4.

Inside, large sliding doors open from the lounge onto a south-facing private terrace. The kitchen has been recently refitted. The family bathroom has both a bath and a walk-in shower cubicle. The apartment sits level with the car park, with only 2 internal steps between bedrooms and living areas - worth noting for those with reduced mobility.

The beach and a heated outdoor swimming pool (open May to September) are both accessed through separate gates in the garden. EV charging is available on-site. Off-road parking is included.

Helford Passage sits on a designated Special Area of Conservation. Helford Passage Beach - a sand-and-shingle strand beside the Ferryboat Inn - is just 100m from the door. Ponsence Cove, a remote sandy beach, is 1 mile along the coast. Trebah Garden, a 26-acre ravine garden running down to the river, is about half a mile away, with the National Trust's Glendurgan Garden next door. A seasonal foot ferry crosses the river to Helford village, where the Shipwright's Arms serves food on the waterfront. Falmouth is roughly 15 minutes by car.

Nearby: Helford Passage Beach (100m) and Ponsence Cove (1 mile). See our Helford Passage guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for couples who want waterside views and garden gates straight onto the beach and pool. Less good for anyone needing fully step-free access - there are two internal steps between the bedrooms and living areas.
