About Glebe Cottage

Glebe Cottage sits at the mouth of the Helford River in the pretty village of Mawnan Smith. Once a rectory barn, this romantic old building has masses of character, including a galleried landing that looks down into a beamed open-plan living area. 

Take advantage of your position and walk the short distance to our garden at Glendurgan and its small sheltered beach. Otherwise enjoy one of the lovely coastal walks around the entrance to the Helford River and out to Rosemullion.

A little further afield is our Godolphin estate. This large atmospheric estate is just 20 miles from the cottage. As a guest at Glebe Cottage, your contribution helps us to maintain vast estates like these for generations to come.
