Strathallan

Dating from the middle of the 19th Century, Strathallan is a beautiful Georgian house that once formed part of the Penrose Manor estate on the edge of the ancient market town of Helston.

Helston is the original "Quaint old Cornish Town", home of the Furry Dance held each year on May 8th - FLORA DAY- and is still a busy country community, with its narrow bustling streets and old-world charm. It is ideally situated for touring and exploring the whole of West Cornwall by foot or by bus, whilst the enchanting Isles of Scilly are within easy reach by Helicopter or Steamer out of Penzance.

Although Strathallan is situated in the heart of this lovely old town, it is nevertheless quiet and peaceful. There is a secluded garden in which you may wish to relax or smoke, and the beautiful Penrose walks with boating lake, skate-board park and cafe are just a few minutes away. The National Trust woodland walks through the Penrose Valley are some of the finest in the West Country. Well marked trails take you around Loe Pool, Cornwall's largest freshwater lake, to the sandbar which separates the Pool from the Atlantic Ocean and then on to Porthleven, the mainland's most southerly port that boasts spectacular views across Mount's Bay and the Atlantic.
