Facing southwest, the cottage and its gardens enjoy the best of the sunshine, making its a perfect setting for dining at the picnic table, lunchtime or evening barbecues, or simply soaking up the warmth and beauty of the surroundings. A summer's evening at Glen Avon can be an experience of unforgettable tranquility.

A holiday here is the perfect opportunity for exploring the beautiful Helford River area.
