The large terraced garden hugs the two borders of the spectacular and ever-changing view of the Mawgan Creek of the Helford River. This is exclusive to guests! Abundant water and garden birds too; fishing, kayaking, rowing, sailing, paddle boarding as well as wild swimming are all possible from Rock Cottage.
