Frequently Asked Questions...
Here are some of the questions we get asked quite frequently, if you have
another question just drop us an email to
info@helsburypark.co.uk.
Are the gardens dog proof?
Interesting question, I guess it depends on the dog. There are adequate
fences, walls and hedges to keep the majority of dogs in but if you have one
those really determined, escapologist types then you need to be mindful as
you would anywhere else.
Can I leave the dog on their own in the cottage?
Unfortunately not, for the sensible reason that your dog is in a strange
environment and may behave unpredictably. We tend to take our dog with us and
leave him in the car. However we have recently installed kennels at each
property which gives you more felxibility. Check our dog
code for more info.
Can we walk to the pub?
The walk to St Breward is mostly up hill but is only about 1.5 miles. You can
always get the local taxi firm to collect you and walk back! There are pubs
in the nearby villages of St Teath, St Tudy and also in Camelford, all
walkable for the keener amongst us.
Are there any dog friendly places to eat locally?
Quite a few, our faves are the Old Inn in St Breward, the White Hart in St
Teath and the Port William in Trebarwith.
How far is it to the beach?
Nearest beach is Trebarwith, which is about 20 minutes drive, its dog
friendly and has a great pub, the Port William.
Are there any livestock on the land?
There will be less in future, occasionally we have sheep and cattle in from time to time to keep the grass
down to a manageable level. We're planning to erect some more fences so that
there is also one totally dedicated area for dogs. We'll always ensure that
you can get to the river and the woods.
Can we swim in the pond / river?
We don't advise it for humans, dogs are fine in the river. One of our guests
said that their dog got into difficulty in the pond because of the weed, our
advice is only to let your dog in the pond if you are sure they are a strong
swimmer.
Will my mobile phone work on site?
Yes it will, not right at the bottom of the hill but in and around the
cottages should be fine.
Is there Sky TV?
Not yet, but don't worry lads, I'm working on it!
Are there DVD players in the cottages?
Yes there are and there a few DVDs knocking about, the local shop in St
Breward also has a rental service.
How far are you from Eden Project?
Eden is about a 40 minute drive, its south west of Helsbury, the other side
of Bodmin. Its signposted from the A30.
What's the phone number for Rick Stein's?

When's the best time to fish?
Fishing the river Camel on Helsbury land is really best at the back end of
the year when the river is fuller. There are sea trout running from late
summer, the salmon tend to start a bit later. It all finishes on 15th
December.
