Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

This is a very beautiful property in a wonderful location. There is also a beautifully kept and quite spacious garden. We had 4 adults and 4 young children and all of us fit in comfortably.
Porlhu beach is about 12 minutes away by car, which is honestly one of the best beaches in Cornwall and there are lots of others not far. Porthleven is also close. Helford is close too.
Gweek itself is a nice little village with a really good shop, cafe and pub, there is also fish and chips on the green on Wednesday nights with a brass band. It seemed like all of the locals were in attendance.
We had a great time, lovely place.

We had a fabulous week at Olga's house. Great location, beautiful house, couldn't have asked for more. The village stores down the road is superb and everything else was perfect. The location is ideal as you're never more than a few minutes drive from beaches or nearby attractions. Safe to say, we'll be back as it's the best house/location we've had in the area in many years. Thanks Olga!

Two teens, a dog and Five adults stayed for a week at this beautiful period farmhouse. We were looking for a quiet place to relax but close to beaches and places of interest that Cornwall has to offer. This was the perfect setting for us, in Gweek just a stones throw from the Helford river. There is a local shop and pub with plenty to offer or you can go to the nearest Superstore that is not far by car.
The property itself was full of period charm and art-and had plenty of places for us all to stretch out and either socialise or find solitude. The gardens are great and suited our pet dog well.
The only thing that could possibly be added is perhaps a microwave? Also there is room for perhaps another small seat or footstool in the lounge.
The owners were very helpful with any questions/ issues we had.
We would certainly recommend this house and would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is spacious, comfortable, very well equipped, and has a nice view down to the river from the front-facing rooms. Olga (owner) was very easy to deal with and very attentive if anything was needed. Great local shop; we also enjoyed the mobile fish & chip van, the Gweek silver band and the Gweek players. Long walks from Gweek are a bit limited, but there are great clifftop walks, and beaches, within easy reach. Overall a great stay.

The house was great, very private and the hosts were always on hand for any issues, but I’m pleased to say there were no issues at all!
The property is very spacious and secure, our dog loved it there. We got very lucky with the weather and the beaches were wonderful.
Thank you for a great stay.

Fabulous House
Lovely old house in a lovely location with great beaches all nearby. Lots of facilities in the village, great pub and well stocked shop.- even a brass band and a fish and chip/pizza van. Short walk to the village is a little scary as no footpath. Brilliant host with lots of local information - not all beaches nearby allow dogs but we found a few which did. Paddle boarding in Porthleven was a highlight as was beautiful Kynance Cove. When the sun shines you cant beat Cornwall !

We didn't want to leave!
We loved the house, it's the best we've stayed in. Olga met us when we arrived and was just lovely, very friendly and helpful. The house was very clean, very spacious, and very well equipped. The views facing the river were amazing. We had fun exploring the area, we recommend the Boatyard Cafe, The Black Swan, and croquet on the lawn in the evenings. We would love to stay again, can't recommend it highly enough! Thank you Olga.
