River & Timber

Tucked into the rural quiet of Hellandbridge, this house sits directly on the Camel Trail with the river framed in the picture windows of its vaulted living room – a dramatic space warmed by a wood-burner when the weather turns. Outside, a landscaped garden steps down to a terrace with a barbecue area and river views, unhurried and green. A separate snug offers a quieter corner for children or anyone wanting to retreat, while an office mezzanine makes remote working a real option. The North Cornwall coast is around a twenty-minute drive away.

Home truths:
* The ground floor has one king-size room that can also be configured as a twin – worth mentioning to your host when you book if you need that layout.
* The wi-fi is strongest in the office area of the home – guests have noted it can be weaker on the other side of the house, so bear that in mind if you're planning video calls or need a reliable connection.
* You'll need a car to make the most of your stay here. The village is rural and quiet, with the nearest coast around a twenty-minute drive and local shops a short drive away. Parking is available.
* Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you upon request, for no additional charge.
