House Rental
This pretty cottage sleeps five people and two dogs and is situated in one of the most delightful villages in South Cornwall. Dowr Penty in the village of Helford oozes character yet is very comfortable with a woodburning stove for cooler evenings, a lovely courtyard garden with a barbecue for balmy summer evening al-fresco meals, two parking spaces and is located just moments away from the stunning Helford River. On the ground floor, there is a living room (with the woodburner), a separate dining room, well-equipped kitchen and useful shower room. Upstairs, there is another bathroom with a shower over the bath, along with the three bedrooms.

Spoiled by lack of secure outside space
Dowr Penty Cottage is in a quiet position beside the river at the very edge of the village. Adequately furnished, it has a modern, well equipped kitchen and a large, bath/shower room on the first floor, with a useful second shower room downstairs. The three bedrooms all have reasonable storage space and very comfortable beds. Plenty of information on places to visit and the history of the cottage and local area was readily available in the "things to do" box, which we found very interesting and useful.
However, outside space was disappointing. As the cottage accepted dogs, we assumed there would be an enclosed outside area of some sort. Reading the description of the accommodation, it gives the impression that there is use of both a courtyard or garden (with BBQ ,area overlooking the river) There is no courtyard. In fact, the view from the sitting room french windows is very depressing, as there is just a tiny, extremely neglected yard, in poor condition and certainly offering no alternative outside use!
Directly in front of the cottage, parking for one car is available just across the road. Behind this is a small seating area next to the river with space for a BBQ. This was not enclosed to provide any privacy or security, and again, looked quite neglected.
Would not stay again due to lack of secure outside space.
