About this property
Two miles from Mawgan, and two from Manaccan, above the Helford River, is Badger Cottage. Grade II listed Badger Cottage, is attached to the farmhouse and dates back to the 18th century. Inside is comfortable and welcoming, with beamed ceilings, squishy sofas and wood burner in the sitting room. The kitchen is a good size and incorporates a farmhouse style table and chairs for everyone to gather around. Stairs lead to two bedrooms: a pretty double and a room with adult sized bunks. They share a shower room. As well as its own enclosed garden, guests can enjoy the owners fifty-five acres of fields and woodland with panoramic countryside views and woodland trails. Children will love the outdoor play space, swings, football goals, climbing frames and sandpit, and the friendly owners will be happy to introduce you to their ducks and hens. For those not so sunny days, there is table tennis, a pool table, and games/toys, inside a large games cabin to keep everyone entertained. If you can bear to tear yourself away from the onsite entertainments, the village of Mawgan-in-Meneage is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on Mawgan Creek, which leads to the Helford River. From here it is a tranquil walk to National Trust Tremayne Quay, whilst the Seal sanctuary, and Flambards theme park both make for excellent family days out. The beaches at Gunwalloe, Church Cove, and Poldhu are all within 5 miles for a more relaxed turn of pace.
Helston lies at the western gateway to the Lizard Peninsula, a large area of downland fringed by a beautiful and spectacular coastline. Helston is a pleasant busy market town famous for its Flora Day Festival and the many stories and legends about the "Furry Dance" are told in the fascinating Helston Folk Museum.

Cosy lounge and well equipped kitchen. Couldn't have asked for more, except maybe another week!

The cottage itself was a bit bigger than we expected, clean and cosy. The kitchen was well equipped. The location was green and peaceful, the cottage also has its own enclosed garden. The owners, Sarah and Jem, were welcoming and friendly. We spent the week mostly swimming and surfing at some spectacular sites nearby like Sennen Cove, Nanjizal Beach, Kynance Cove and Church Cove. We also visited Lands End, Lizard Point and the Eden Project. There is loads more we'd like to do on a return visit.
