The Old Counting House | Cottage in Gweek





Arrive, unpack, feel at home.
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.
