Gweek House

Gweek House is a 4-bedroom property in the Helford River village of Gweek, sleeping 8 guests across two floors. The house stands 0.4 miles from the river and the village pub, with a wrap-around garden that includes a lawn, patio, swing, and a pond.

The ground floor has a kitchen, utility room, dining room with woodburning stove, and a sitting room with a second woodburning stove, plus a sunroom and a cloakroom. Upstairs, the master bedroom has an en-suite with bath, walk-in shower, double basin, and heated towel rail. Three further bedrooms - a king-size, a double, and a twin - share a family bathroom with bath, walk-in shower, and basin. Oil central heating supplements the two wood burners. The kitchen is fitted with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, wine cooler, washing machine, tumble dryer, and dishwasher.

The garden wraps around the property with space for children to play, though the pond requires supervision. A private driveway accommodates 4 cars. Three dogs are welcome.

Gweek sits at the tidal head of the Helford River, home to the National Seal Sanctuary and a working boatyard with canoe and dinghy hire. Helford Passage Beach - a sheltered sand and shingle shore with the Ferryboat Inn and a seasonal foot ferry - is 5.9km downstream. Gunwalloe Church Cove, a National Trust beach with a 13th-century church built into the cliffs, is 7.3km south. Helston is 3 miles west.
