Strand

You'll find beautiful Strand above the Ferryboat Inn, reached by going down a set of steps from the parking area, and once inside, you'll see the amazing view. Through the open-plan lounge, out of the French doors and you're on the balcony, looking down upon the Helford River, the beach and a colourful array of boats. Pull up a chair or a sun lounger and settle down for some serious relaxation in the sunshine. It’s a great space for lazy morning coffee and warm buttery croissants, or for the family to gather over an early supper. Inside there’s a comfortable living room, well-equipped kitchen and 2 bedrooms, all just a stone’s throw from the water. Helford Passage nestles on the banks of the beautiful river Helford, with a sandy beach and direct access to the South West Coastal Path. There’s plenty to do on site including hire of kayaks or paddle boards to get you out on the water, or if you prefer, try the heated outdoor swimming pool (open from May 1st until the end of September). The Ferryboat Inn specialises in seafood dishes and holds regular music and quiz nights. The local ferry can take you across to pretty Helford village where you can meander along the shore to explore Daphne Du Maurier’s Frenchman’s Creek.
