Hove To

Hove-To is a three-bedroom ground-floor apartment at Helford Passage, sleeping 2, a short walk from the Ferryboat Inn and the beach. The cream-painted interior brings out the parquet flooring and natural wood furniture, with nautical artwork reflecting the area's maritime history.

Inside, the apartment runs across two bathrooms and a large living area with a wood burner for cooler evenings. The well-equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher and washing machine, and wifi runs throughout. Three good-sized bedrooms make it comfortable for couples wanting space.

Outside, the apartment has a sunny patio with river views and shares on-site facilities with the other Helford Passage properties. These include the heated outdoor pool (open May to September), kayak and paddle board hire, and direct access to the sandy beach which sits right at the door. Ponsence Cove and Porth Saxon Beach lie 1.6 km and 1.8 km along the coast path.

Helford Passage sits on the north bank of the Helford River. The seasonal foot ferry crosses to Helford village and Frenchman's Creek, and the Shipwrights Arms serves food on the opposite shore. Trebah and Glendurgan Gardens are a short drive inland, with Falmouth around 20 minutes away for shops, cafes and the National Maritime Museum.
