5* Tripadvisor Reviews
Perfect holiday. Just come back from the most perfect holiday at Helen House. The house is perfect, everything you’d want in a holiday home. Three good size bedroom, two with wonderful views over the harbour. Good size kitchen with enough seating and room. Fantastic living room, also with balcony. The house also has three tvs to help entertain the kids whilst you soak in the view with a glass of wine. Fowey is a lovely harbour town with lovely little shops and good pubs and restaurants. We loved Polkerris beach and spent two days there. Food at Sams bar amazing and the sunsets from the beach as the best you’ll see. Visited April 2022
Great place in an ideal location The house is a great place to stay in Fowey, 3 minutes walk into the centre. The house itself is ideal for a week away, spacious with stunning views over Fowey. The owners were extremely helpful from start to finish.. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would certainly book again. I would recommend the house and Fowey to anyone. Visited July 2021
Wonderful week in Fowey Superb location with parking which is rare . Best property we have stayed in after 12 annual visits . Owner was so helpful and the house was immaculate with comfortable beds and was extremely well equipped. We could not fault this property . . Visited July 2021
Amazing view of a beautiful town All i can say is we thoughly enjoyed our stay at Helen House. There are lots of floors, which can be confusing to begin with, where you are in the house, especially as its an unusual layout, but you soon get used to it. The balcony views are breathtaking and we were blessed with lovely, warm sunny weather. It was lovely getting up early and reading on the balconies and watching all the river activities. The house was as clean as a pin and equipped with everything you could need. Fowey itself is lovely... Lots of cafes and pubs. The Hallwalk, boat trips and walk down to the beach are a must. The only thing missing was a welcome info pack with basic info in it.... Like nearest food shop, sugguestion of local things to do etc and a visitor review book. No matter where we looked we could not find these. Thanks Helen House for a lovely week... Anyone who books will not be disappointed! Visited May 2021
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The location was excellent & the views to die for! Each floor had a balcony so you could take your pick of where to sit & relax. The decor was inviting, the bedrooms spacious and comfortable & the 2 bathrooms were great. The icing on the cake for us was the carpark.

Excellent location
Whilst this property takes a little to get used to (there are a lot of stairs) it didn’t take away from the great location and views. Fowey is beautiful and everything is on your doorstep. We definitely hope to return.

Just about the best view in Foweyl
Three balconies overlooking the estuary provide the best possible opportunity to savour the finest views in Fowey. The property has excellent facilities throughout plus the ability to park on the drive (so very rare in Fowey!) Worth noting that there is an electric blanket for the bottom bedroom used seasonally by the management staff. If you visit in cold weather you may want to ensure this is available - it can get chilly down there!

Beautiful home, excellent location
Helen's house was just perfect. The views from the balconies are amazing. The kitchen was so well equipped with absolutely everything you could need to cook, lots of utensils, plates and mugs etc, really spacious. Yes there are tons of stairs and the layout is not "standard" but you do get used to it! Within a few mins walk you're in fowey where there are just enough pubs, restaurants, to keep you fed. The rest or Cornwall is also easily accessible by car within max 2 hours you can visit all the main places.
The responsiveness of the caretaker was great too, we accidentally smashed a wine glass and she was kind to acknowledge and not ask for any money to replace.
It really is a great location and again the views from the balconies are so amazing. We were recommended to stay here by friends and would recommend this place to everyone!

Extraordinaire. Vue incroyable à tous les étages. Au coeur du village qui est très typique cornouaille. Petite plage agréable a 10 minutes à pieds. Appartement parfaitement équipé. Literie de qualité. Il faut juste noter qu il y a beaucoup de marches mais ce n est pas genant du tout, cela a même beaucoup amusé les enfants. Vraiment parfait !!
