About this cottage rental

Brand new to Finest Retreats for 2024, welcome to The Old Counting House where you can enjoy spectacular views of the historic Gweek Classic Boatyard on the Helford River in Cornwall.

The Grade II listed former accounting house has been recently renovated boasting spacious and luxurious accommodation. Meticulously adorned with tasteful, calming colour palettes and exceptional furnishings, showcasing original features, antiques, and ornate fireplaces. The building dating back from the mid 18th Century once housed the customs office for the Gweek Classic Boatyard, and later became know as the “Counting House”.

The ground floor welcomes guests with an entrance hall leading to upper floors. The dining area on this level includes a sizable dining table for 8 guests. The spacious living room features comfortable seating, large smart TV, Wi-Fi and stunning views of the Gweek Classic Boatyard and beyond. A private courtyard leads from the living room, offering an outdoor space with hot tub ideal for summer months. Along with the well-appointed kitchen, which offers all amenities for an easy self-catered stay, with additional breakfast table.

The Old Counting House rooms are spacious, inviting, light and airy. The renovations are in keeping with its character, and a nod to its previous history. Ascending to the first floor, there's four spacious bedrooms, two superking with en-suite luxury shower rooms, a further king size and fourth large single room which share a family bathroom.

Ample off-road parking is available on a spacious driveway, and the village of Gweek offers convenient local amenities, including a pub and a shop, as well as numerous scenic walks to explore. This property serves as a luxurious and ideal base for couples, friends, and families looking to discover the charm of Cornwall and the broader region of the Lizard Peninsula.

With its location right on the Gweek Classic Boatyard, you can bring along your boat, canoe or paddleboard for use during your stay on the beautiful Helford River. The property has a slipway where you can launch free of charge, along with some mooring options which can be discussed with the yard office. Gweek is very tidal, and launching can take place two hours either side of hightide, with a maximum length of boat at 24 ft. For further information, please get in touch and we can advise on launching and mooring options while on holiday with us.

For bookings and more information please contact Finest Retreats.

Pictures do not do justice to this cottage. As soon as we walked in , it was wow ! Very well equipped , very clean , bathrooms spotless , bed linen crisp and clean , lovely hot tub and a wood burning fire were a welcome bonus . Lots of parking . We even managed to get locked out but the manager was super helpful and let us in . The owners have taken great care furnishing this cottage , could not find a single fault . Lovely welcome hamper was left in the kitchen for us which was a lovely gesture . Spent 7 nights and worth every penny . Beds super comfy , lots of space to sit on sofa and couches . Outdoor furniture and a bbq was on site which was cleaned to an inch of its life , gardens very well kept , overall , well done to the owners , manager and cleaning staff . We simply could not find a fault even if we wanted to . Well done .

The Old Counting house is a lovely old house which has been beautifully renovated to a very high standard. The accommodation worked perfectly for our annual get together with friends. Gweek is a small village within easy reach of the Lizard Peninsula and there are lovely walks both from the doorstep and further afield.

Beautiful bedding, towels that actually fully go round you lol Garden is beautiful great table over looking the boat yard & hot tub is a bonus. The property had everything you would need first a holiday would definitely book again it hard to put into words how beautiful the house is. Plenty to do without having to travel miles the furthest we travelled was to the Eden Project that was worth the visit. The cafe on the boat yard it well worth a visit we had a great break fast there, the staff were very friendly. If you are looking at this property book it you will love it & the location .
