Cottage agency looks to the Poldark effect

#WEST COUNTRY self-catering cottage agency Helpful Holidays expects a surge in bookings when BBC Television screens the next batch of Poldark dramas later this year. It says holiday homes in #Cornwall are likely to be snapped up when the county's beaches and moorlands are once again in the spotlight. 

Church Cove on The Lizard peninsula was the setting for a shipwreck scene in the last Poldark series and will feature again in the 10-part series. Nearby Evergreen, let by Helpful Holidays, is expected to be popular with holidaymakers drawn by the unspoiled coastal scenery. Hideaway Barn is a holiday cottage in the 18th century tall-ships harbour of Charlestown, which also returns for the second series. The agency also properties on Bodmin Moor, which features in Poldark.

Helpful Holidays has more than 700 properties across the West Country, including more than 200 in Cornwall, and has seen West Country locations for recent movies and drama series, such as Far From the Madding Crowd and Broadchurch, attracting holidaymakers to the region.

A cottage in Cornwall

NEW to West Country self-catering agency Helpful Holidays is Evergreen, a traditional, granite cottage sleeping six in the hamlet of Rinsey on #Cornwall’s Lizard peninsula. Detached and Grade II listed, it’s yards from the South West Coast Path and within walking distance of the small beach at #RinseyCove.

Its large open-plan living/dining room has French furnishings and antiques, with white painted beams and an open fire. There’s also a conservatory with space for games, surfboards, and bicycles. Open tread stairs lead to two double and two single bedrooms with antique French beds.

The #pet-friendly house has views over Mount’s Bay from the small front garden, while at the back there’s a large garden with a summer house and a patio.

Nearby, the cliff-top Wheal Prosper engine house stands sentinel to the former tin mine; Praa Sands with its pub, shops, and café is 1.5 miles and the larger village of Porthleven is two miles.

A week’s stay is priced from £469, or £78 per person based on six sharing.
