    Helston Holiday Cottages

    Helston is a beautiful and historic market town deep in the heart of West Cornwall, that acts as the gateway to the gorgeous Lizard Peninsula. It's rich history makes it the ideal holiday destination, particularly during the annual Flora Day, a world famous celebration with pagan roots. Helston's fascinating medieval architecture and traditions are the perfect base from which to discover Cornwall's glorious sandy beaches, picturesque harbours and coastal hikes.

    Here at Snaptrip, we have thousands of cottages in Cornwall, each one hand-picked for their charm, character and location. Large groups will have their pick of the best barn conversions and family-friendly farmhouses with huge open-plan living areas. We also have dog-friendly holiday homes with enclosed gardens and access to excellent walks, and romantic cabins with hot tubs that are perfect for an evening under the Cornish skies.

    Whether you need pet-friendly play areas or panoramic sea views, our customer service team will find you the ideal South Coast home. Stay in the heart of Helston, walking distance from a brunch spot or a cosy pub, or look at beach-side cottages further afield. And the area has attractions to suit all kinds of groups; kids will love a day out at the Flambard Theme Park, while the National Trust's Penrose Estate offers gorgeous walks through woodland and across windswept beaches.

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Gof - Verified booking

      We have stayed at numerous properties and this could be the worst.

      On our first evening the TV failed with a bang. Richard was really helpful and arranged for a replacement. No problem there but many issues with fitments and general presentation of the property. The main door is weak and an intruder could easily gain access. Very poor security. Two bathrooms are listed. The downstairs has a hand basin and toilet. Carpeted floor with no pedestal mat. Not hygienic. The upstairs shower is desperately small and barely adequate. Heating is by night storage heaters. These are rusty and in generally poor condition. Not a good way to heat a property, particularly at this time of year when temperatures varied from quite hot to cold. All electrical appliances have inspection dates of 2017 and are cheap quality. The kettle, for instance, only worked at times if the switch was held down. Some of the plates were chipped. Cutlery was limited. A poor selection of ill sorted items. Only four table knives for instance. Certain items missing, such as a fish slice. Old cracked non stick coated frypan. Generally poorly equipped. Table too small to spread a newspaper. Two very rickety chairs. Lighting too dim to read by. No surface to put anything down other than window sills. A coffee table would have helped considerably. Little storage space in the bedroom. Two small bedside cabinets. A small desk with three drawers. A small child sized wardrobe. All looked like random charity shop purchases. No 'welcome pack' with details of nearest doctors, refuse arrangements and so on. Some of the equipment leaflets applied to items which were no longer there. Overall, very disappointing and we were pleased to be able to leave. The low rating in the recommending category is down to the almost unreadable booking details. Certainly a format that does not work with Apple computers.

    • David - Verified booking

      Immaculately maintained, tiny characterful property.

      The Old Stable had everything we needed for a comfortable week away, although I would not think a longer stay would be practicable owing to the basic cooking facilities (a portable two ring electric hob and microwave) and just a tumble drier meaning handwashing lighter items of clothing, finding a laundrette or bringing lots of stuff. We appreciated the good quality tea, coffee bags and biscuits which are the hallmark of a thoughtful and welcoming host. Towels and tea towels are provided but bring your own beach towels. The bed on its little gallery is comfortable but we found moving the rolling steps to and fro in order to cook then wash up a bit of a faff, be aware they are quite heavy with steel handrails and glass panels. We knew about this arrangement, and it wouldn't put us off staying here again. No outside space of course, which we also knew about, but the quiet beach is adjacent and is one of our favourites on the Lizard. The Five Pilchards pub, which in the past has done good pub food, has closed down and is for sale but we had a great meal at the beach café next door. I know people rave about the Fat Apples café just up the lane but every time we went past we had just missed it being open. It shuts promptly at 5 pm. Our dog enjoyed staying here and we were glad she couldn't get up the steep steps and attempt to climb onto the bed to find us, which she sometimes does in an unfamiliar house. She had to stay in her own dog bed. She knew where we were and could see us so she was content. This was a definite plus for us.

    • Karen - Verified booking

      To be honest, after reading a review posted a week or two before our arrival, we did wonder what we would find.

      As is usual, during our research when booking a holiday we had scrutinised the photos on Sykes' website and thought we had a fair idea of what to expect. We are glad to report there are no hidden horrors and all was as expected. After driving along a woodland drive carpeted with bluebells, red campion, cow parsley and so much more, we found the property set in a secluded corner of the 14 acre estate (which has mown paths around the field edges and pond for you to wander and explore - great for a dog walk in the evening after a day out). It was beautifully warm, clean and comfortable. It suited us and our dog perfectly. The whole area is criss-crossed with ancient public footpaths which lead to little villages and coast paths. There is a lovely track which starts just down the hill (to the right) from the property which will take you to Mullion village (c 1 mile). It was the perfect property for our break and without doubt we would go again. (PS. Perhaps if the author of the rotten review had researched he would have found fewer 'surprises' and maybe consider his manners and address petty issues direct with the host) "

    • Stephen - Verified booking

      The Blue Oyster is a very comfortable spacious holiday property for one or two people.

      It has all mod cons and an excellent en-suite double bedroom. I holidayed there in early February and found the two electric heaters to keep the property warm and comfortable throughout the cold days. The property is situated on the outskirts of Mullion village which has two mini supermarkets, two pubs and a fish and chip restaurant. A fifteen minute walk from the village will take you to two excellent hotels with views overlooking the rugged coastline. If walking the South West Coast Path is your favourite pastime then the Blue Oyster is ideally situated for walking all of the Lizard Peninsula. There is an excellent bus service from Penzance to Helston and from Helston to the Lizard village. The owner Dean is very friendly and helpful and is on hand should he be needed to solve any property issues or indeed to offer local tourism advice. I have stayed several times over recent years and I will be booking another stay in the future. I can highly recommended the Blue Oyster for a relaxing, stress free holiday.

    • Jamie - Verified booking

      Dean and his family are amazing friendly people great hosts for sure.

      The good: it's in a great quiet location which is always a bonus. The wood burner is very nice especially on a cold night. The internet is super fast and TV is great including netflix etc. the pool table was enjoyed by me every day. Nice kitchen including everything you need. The bad: unfortunately there where some stuff we didn't like the bed is very small for two people and is to soft for me and my wife we suffered from bad backs because of this. The shower was very nice but overflows all the time whilst dean did kindly explain to us why this happens it still made us feel like we had to rush and not enjoy the shower. The sofa was to low so no neck support. The parking is a little awkward because it's on a main road leading into mullion you have to reverse park and because the owner owns a car to your only left with a small space to park into. Even though we had some negative points to make all round we really did enjoy our stay thank you to Dean and his family for being great hosts
