Durgan Wood Cottage

Like something out of a fairy tale, Durgan Wood Cottage sits on the edge of a small wood. The tiny, timber-built thatched cabin was once used as an apple store, and now after a careful restoration, makes a cosy one-bedroom nest for two. Inside reveals an unexpected modern interior with brightly cladded walls, high ceilings and contemporary furnishings.

Durgan Wood Cottage is a completely secluded and romantic place to stay, just above the Helford River, with only a few other cottages in sight. You’ll be on the edge of the Durgan, a small fishing village made up of a handful of former fish cellars, boat stores and a small sheltered beach. 

There’s easy access to the South West Coast Path which will lead you along the Helford River and out to Falmouth bay. You’ll pass Rosemullion, a gentle headland where wildflowers bloom in the spring and where seals sometimes swim in the waters below.
 

Access: Cottage is 30 metres distant from car parking, along a wooded track and therefore unsuitable for those with impaired mobility.

Heating: Rointe digital electric heating system.

Parking: Designated car parking space for two cars immediately inside the field gate that leads to the cottage.

Offers: Guests will benefit from a late Sunday checkout of 4pm at this cottage.

Please Note: The cottage is in a heavily wooded area which can make the atmosphere naturally damp at times. There is a dehumidifier in the cottage. Please turn this on and air the cottage when appropriate.

The annual Durgan Regatta takes place in the village on the Sunday of the August Bank Holiday. This involves flags on both quays, loudspeakers and lots of people partying outside Quay, Beach and Old School House cottages.

Please be aware the Helford River beach at Durgan is not a designated beach for bathing.

Offers: Free entry to Trelissick, Glendurgan Garden and Trerice on production of booking details.
