Nestled in the picturesque village of Helford, The Shipwrights Arms enjoys a premier location along the edge of one of Cornwall’s most unspoiled rivers, the enchanting Helford River. Known for its deep, sheltered valleys, ancient oak woodlands, and hidden creeks, the river is a haven for nature lovers and explorers alike.

Helford village itself is a charming collection of riverside cottages clustered around a tidal creek, with most homes boasting beautiful water views. Historic quays still dot the riverfront, and a pedestrian ferry connects the north and south banks, offering a delightful trip to Helford Passage. With a village shop, a lively sailing club, and a vibrant summer influx of visitors and yachting enthusiasts, Helford has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that’s second to none.

Only 10 miles from Helston, 17 miles from Falmouth, and 21 miles from Truro, Helford is both a peaceful retreat and conveniently located.

The Shipwrights Arms is a traditional 18th Century public house which has received significant recent investment and is now a functional, outstanding waterfront inn, with the recent addition of letting suites. Grade II listed to protect a plethora or period features, the pub stands in a dominant position overlooking the Helford river and briefly comprises entrance vestibule / ‘The Mermaids Terrace’ (16+), lounge bar and restaurant (40+), ‘The Fisherman’s’ 18+ & ‘The Yachtsman’s’ with covers for (16) in additional to the commercial kitchen on the ground floor, with the two-bedroom owner’s accommodation on the first floor.Externally there is seating on a tiered terraced area for circa 110+ with stunning views over the Helford river, with the privately-owned slipway running adjacent to the pub and a small car park which leads to the river and the jetty, for which the newly built letting accommodation sits below, but again directly overlooking the river perfectly positioned for premium letting income.
