2 Bedroom Cottage in Mawgan, Helston

Set close to Mawgan Creek in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an idyllic bolt-hole to explore the Helford River Estuary and spectacular coastline of the Lizard Peninsula. The perfect spot for walkers, food lovers and water sports enthusiasts with a superb restaurant and pub, village shop and creek all within a short walk.
The cottage adjoins the owners' family home, a historic former coach house and stables on the edge of the historic Trelowarren Estate. A quiet and tranquil setting where you can just listen to birdsong - an ideal environment for you to relax and recharge. With Litvinhoff and Fawcett handmade mattresses containing natural fillings and Egyptian cotton covers, mattress toppers for extra comfort and blackout lined curtains, hopefully you will sleep like a baby!
Guests enjoy the private use of the courtyard garden which is a little sun trap and also great for star gazing on a clear night.
Within walking distance is the Grade 1 listed St Mawgan Church which dates back to the 13th century, with the oldest parts being the nave and the octagonal, goblet shaped font. The beautifully preserved wooden roof dates from the 15th century. It is truly a wonderful place for a moment of peace and prayer.
Up the road is Mawgan Stores, the village shop and Post Office. Don't be fooled by the compact exterior as it has a huge offering from your basic needs to some luxury products as well as much local produce, including the fantastically made Vicky's Bread (the focaccia being a firm favourite), Cornish Olive Stall, Roskilly's Ice Cream, their own brand coffee (which you can have fresh there), cheese and clotted cream (of course!), plants and an array of Cornish Gin and well stocked world wines selection.
At the other end of the village is the Recreational Hall and Grounds. Here you can find play area for children and exercise equipment for the big children/adults. There are football goals too if you are in need for a kick around! On Thursdays 10-4.30 (last orders 4pm) there is the pop-up Gather Community Café in Mawgan Recreation Hall which is open to all, from local residents to day-trippers, babies to centenarians.
A short ten minute walk and you can be at the old entrance into the Trelowarren Estate. This 1,000 acre estate is a beautiful gem, coined a 'jewel' by author Daphne du Maurier, is seeped in history. Here you will find the Halligye Fogou, the largest and best-preserved of several mysterious underground stone chambers or tunnels associated with Cornish Iron Age settlements and thought to be dated from the 4th or 5th century BC. ‘Fogous,’ a Cornish-language word meaning cave, are considered to have been places of refuge, storage chambers or ritual shrines.
In the gorgeous stable yard of Trelowarren, is the Flora Cafe and New Yard Restaurant. Run by a lovely young couple, Tim and Louise, they serve delicious, seasonal food, from produce homegrown in the walled garden or from a network of small growers, farmers, fisherfolk and foragers. They have some incredible Scandinavian pastries that are delicious or raw chocolate bars for those trying to avoid dairy/refined sugar.

Summary: Verity is a tremendous host and this is such a gorgeous property. The grounds of Glebe Hall are lovely and if we'd had better weather, we would have constantly been in the outdoor pool! It's a good spot for traveling to different locations and lovely and quiet at night.
