3 Bedroom Cottage in Mawgan, Helston

Rock Cottage Cornwall is a 16th century traditional Cornish property which sits completely alone in AONB enjoying an acre of private grounds, including a riverside woodland which leads to a jetty and the private foreshore where our sturdy rowing dinghy 'Peggy' is moored.
The large terraced garden hugs the two borders of the spectacular and ever-changing view of the Mawgan Creek of the Helford River. This is exclusive to guests! Abundant water and garden birds too; fishing, kayaking, rowing, sailing, paddle boarding as well as wild swimming are all possible from Rock Cottage. Children will have great fun crab fishing and you are welcome to bring your kayaks, canoes with you and launch/store these from our large jetty.
We have private off lane parking directly outside the property which is solely for our guests' vehicles. No neighbouring properties within sight or sound, just a wonderful estuary view exclusive to our guests.
This well appointed 'home away from home' has all you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay and with full central heating by radiators, Rock Cottage is welcoming whatever the season and accommodates four adults with two children.
The kitchen/diner has a picturesque view of the garden, river, surrounding fields and sessile oak woodland. It is fully equipped with a new AEG steam oven and washer/dryer, Smeg ceramic hob, 60/40 LEC fridge/freezer, Bosch dishwasher and a Panasonic microwave oven.

There are two cushioned window seats, quirky walls and alcoves, a copper canopied inglenook housing an electric wood burner, modern and very comfortable soft furnishings, an oak sideboard, table and chairs complete with wall lighting and ship's lantern. For entertainment there is an ipod dock music system, LED Smart TV, DVD player, stacks of games and puzzles as well as a great selection of Cornish novels, including many books relating to Cornish culture and maps to help you plan your outings.
At the far end of the lounge is the open tread wooden staircase. This has a short wall-mounted handrail and leads to the landing, children's and master bedrooms. These two rooms have a fabulous view of the river, are well furnished, comfortable and have top quality beds, mattresses and linen.
Ten paces from the front door is the fully carpeted Garden room. This is set up for adults or teenagers only. It is arranged with two single beds which can be zip and linked to form a fabulous 6ft, when a couple sleep in here and by request. You will wake up to a marvellous view from this room which is complimented with white New England style furniture and a 40" wall mounted TV.
On the patio is the new outdoor dining table and chairs with parasol, recliners and a drinks table. For a different aspect, there are two more seating areas in the garden, and down by the water there is a large picnic table set under the shade of the trees. Here, you can get up close to the water birds and watch the fish as they circle to feed.

Summary: This property and location is perfect it is exactly like the pictures if not better. Linda and Robin are the perfect hosts and do everything to make your stay special. “ Peggy” is a dream, and definitely worth going out in her to see the sunrise. It is truly an experience not to be missed.
Clare D. Sep 23, 2022 11:15:22 PM
Summary: Rock Cottage is truly a special place! A beautiful location, spotlessly clean, with the most comfortable beds & everything you could need in the cottage itself (as well as use of Peggy, the rowing boat!). As a family with two children, aged 8 & 10, plus grandparents who stayed in the beautiful garden room, we had the most wonderful week. Thank you Linda & Robin!
Anna D. Sep 11, 2022 06:22:12 AM
Summary: Peaceful, full of Birdlife, walking and swimming heaven.
Warren C. Aug 21, 2022 01:31:26 AM
Summary: Fantastic cottage at the end of Mawgan Creek. Own Jetty. Rowing boat. Privacy. Birdlife. Seals. Paddle boarded to our hearts delight. Stunning view from the back garden. Helston and Porthleven near enough to visit.
Amanda H. Jul 10, 2022 03:42:34 AM
Summary: Lovely cottage with a lot of history and atmosphere. Very comfortable and well equipped - we used the bbq almost every night. It was beautiful out on the creek In the boat. I also swam in the creek a few times (in a wetsuit - but the water seemed to get warmer as the week went on, or Ingot used to it!). If you get tired of watching the changing vista of the creek - the tide coming in and out, the fish and the bird life - there is plenty to do within a 30 min drive: coastal walks, gorgeous beaches and pretty fishing villages. Be prepared for single track roads, rough car parking steep slopes though! A great place to stay.

Summary: Rock Cottage is a lovely property in an amazing location. The views out of the back of the cottage are absolutely stunning. We had a wonderful time walking the lizard coastline and playing on the beaches. The kids had hours of fun in the boat and crabbing from the jetty. The cottage was well equipped and everything well thought through for our stay. I’d highly recommend staying here
Peter N. Dec 16, 2021 02:18:35 AM
Summary: A wonderful stay for 4 days in a fantastic cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a short or long holiday. The garden and views were stunning, it was very hard to drag ourselves away from the window..! The location was great for The Lizard and surrounding area, everything within a short drive. The owners are very friendly and provided excellent service before and during our stay. They made us feel very welcome we instantly relaxed on arrival. 5 Stars are not enough....!
Giselle R. Aug 15, 2021 06:09:42 AM
Summary: Friendly and easy. The property was presented in an excellent and spotless condition. We lacked for nothing. The setting and location of this delightful cottage suited us and our dogs perfectly.

Summary: What a fantastic property, I cannot recommend Rock Cottage highly enough! We had the most wonderful week here - everything written about it is 100% true but it's so much more than that. Firstly, the cottage's location is ideal - despite being a very short drive/walk away from Mawgan village, the cottage itself is fantastically private and there's literally nobody in sight in any direction. It has, without question, the best view possible of the tidal river and the wonderfully gnarly trees that line it - we were mesmerised, no matter the time or the weather. The avid bird watcher among us was similarly thrilled by the fabulous variety of feathered friends that were continually present. Secondly, the cottage itself is beautiful. It's in excellent condition and fabulously maintained. We were especially touched by the thoughtfulness of the welcoming scones, cream, home-made bread and many more treats that awaited us after a long journey to Cornwall - thank you so much Linda! Everything we needed was there and in addition there was plenty of space for all of our fulsome paraphernalia. The kitchen's vista is incredible and we spent a great deal of our time there, it really is the heart of the house. Every room in the house is just great, but the Garden Room in particular is also gorgeous and it too has the most spectacular view. Indeed, its being separate from the main cottage made it an ideal retreat for the 13-year old in our party! Finally, the privacy of the cottage really is its selling point for us. There's a great deal of land attached to Rock Cottage, which is so much fun to explore. The main part of the garden is on a significant slope, but the very manageable steps, the charming stepping stones, the different levels, the well-placed benches, the fantastic jetty and the excitement of the neighbouring wood make it an outdoor wonderland. Being able to use Peggy the rowing boat was such a bonus, as was the crabbing equipment. Wetsuits are highly recommended when swimming, but this is true of all British waterways! Also, wellies are essential because of the mud when the tide is out. There is no downside to Rock Cottage whatsoever - it's wonderful. The tides mean there's a limit on how much time you're able to spend in the water. Happily, however, the mud flats are gorgeous to look at and the plethora of stunning Cornish beaches are about 20 minutes' drive away, depending on which direction you choose. We'll definitely return!

Summary: Rock Cottage is a beautiful home to relax and refresh yourself. The cottage is set in a very privileged position overlooking the creek where no other dwelling or human activity can be seen. You feel like you've got the entire valley (if that's what you call the view) to yourself and can't believe it is the most popular holiday destination in the country. We enjoyed a row in Peggy and the rise and fall of the tide, the cry and songs of the birds and the calming shades of greenery all around. The cottage is very cosy, clean and well equipped and furnished tastefully. We enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table most of all, where the birds and the ever-changing creek kept us always entertained. At night we enjoyed the stars and the Milky Way high above us. Linda was a lovely host, who welcomed us warmly and left a lovely cream tea set-up on our arrival. She didn't tire of my endless questions ( although I am sure she would be - I'd be tired of my own questions!) I asked via email and answered them swiftly. One thing I would note is that the garden is very steep in some of the slopes given the fact that it's on a rock and you can't do much about that. So you need extra extra care with children under 5. We knew we wouldn't be able to let the kids run free whilst at the cottage but we still booked because we can manage that with the positives the cottage has to offer. We had three adults to supervise and they were happy enough on the patio. Plus the children ran free on the many beaches on offer so they didn't feel restricted. So altogether it was a beautiful place to stay.
