    central base for exploring beautiful coasts and gardens

    We spent four nights in a spacious deluxe king room and were continuously amazed by how close we were to stunning landmarks like the beautiful Bosahan Gardens just under 4 km away and the scenic Coverack Beach, making our city strolls truly memorable while having the convenience of a cozy pub atmosphere to return to each evening.

    delicious breakfasts
    narrow roads

    We had an amazing time with friends, enjoying hiking and snorkelling nearby. The host was fantastic, giving us a warm welcome and maintaining a clean and comfy room. Breakfasts were delicious. Plus, the views by the beach are simply unforgettable!

    The twisty, narrow roads to get there were a bit tricky at first, but you get used to them over time.

    cozy vibe
    stunning view
    evening meal

    We stayed here for 4 nights in a King Suite with Sea View and loved the cozy vibe and stunning view from our balcony! It was fantastic to unwind by the beautiful garden and relax with a drink on the terrace. The only hiccup was that the evening meal left something to be desired, but it didn't spoil our fun at all! 🌅

    comfy bed
    clean room
    bathroom mirror

    The Deluxe King Room was super comfy and clean. The bed felt great after a long day, and the bathroom had this cool mirror with light, making getting ready a breeze. Pretty quiet at night too, which was a nice touch. We skipped housekeeping, but I didn’t mind since the room stayed tidy. Really liked the fresh and local breakfast vibe in the mornings also!

    The Five Pilchards Inn features beautifully appointed rooms and welcoming common areas, ideal for seniors. The accessibility made our stay enjoyable, allowing us to relax and appreciate the stunning views of the beach right outside our window.

    Amazing stay with a view!

    We had a lovely 4-night getaway in the King Suite with Sea View. The room was super comfy, and the view was stunning. Louise from the staff was a gem, going out of her way to make sure we were fed, especially during the pizza weekend. Only thing was the restaurant was closed, but we didn't let that stop the fun!

    cornish charm
    twisty roads

    Just an appropriate option for a city break in Helston with high value for money. The road to get there was twisty but added to the Cornish charm. Plan your visit during a less busy time for a more pleasant experience.
