A REASON TO CHOOSE ROCK COTTAGE:
A wonderful place to retreat whatever the time of year. It has been in our family for 55 years and there is nowhere quite like it! We have taken great care to modernise without detracting from the original character and charm and have built up an excellent reputation.
Whatever the weather, the view from the property is colourful and interesting whilst the wildlife on the water and in the garden is a birdwatcher's paradise. Rock Cottage has entertained many artists, photographers, authors and even film stars! All have found it a haven and love to return.
We ensure that facilities meet today’s expected standards, provide quality and value for money together with ‘home from home’ comforts. Many of our guests return with the confidence that they will find Rock Cottage even better, and know there is still more for them to discover about this very special part of the Helford Valley.
