Harvey's Lodge

Harvey's Lodge is a 1-bedroom cottage near Helston, sleeping 2 with 1 bathroom. The garden is private, EV charging is on-site, and parking is included. Wi-Fi is available throughout. The layout suits a couple wanting a quiet base within easy range of west Cornwall's beaches and countryside.

Porthleven Beach is 5.3km south - a working harbour with a surf break, stone quay, and several independent restaurants. Praa Sands is 8.3km, a long flat beach that handles swell well for body-boarding. Porthcew Rinsey Cove is 7.4km for a more sheltered option.

Helston is one of Cornwall's five ancient stannary towns and holds the Flora Dance each May - a street procession that fills the town. The Flambards visitor attraction is on the edge of town. The Loe Pool National Trust reserve is within 3 miles, with circular walks around Cornwall's largest freshwater lake. The Lizard is less than 30 minutes' drive.

Right for a couple wanting a simple, well-located base near Helston with EV charging sorted. No washing machine or dishwasher, so it is better suited for short breaks than full weeks. No dogs, no hot tub. 11 reviews on Sykes; Friday changeover.

Lowertown is a small hamlet south of Helston, set back from the main roads and quieter than the town itself. The garden is private. The EV charging point is increasingly useful for guests arriving on longer cross-country drives from the east - the west Cornwall road network has limited public charging, so on-site provision at the cottage is a practical advantage. Porthcew Rinsey Cove, 7.4km away, sits below the ruins of the old Wheal Prosper engine house and has a National Trust car park above it.
