Description
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.
For bookings and more information please contact Finest Retreats.

Gweek is a small village within easy reach of the Lizard Peninsula and there are lovely walks both from the doorstep and further afield.

Beautiful bedding, towels that actually fully go round you lol Garden is beautiful great table over looking the boat yard & hot tub is a bonus. The property had everything you would need first a holiday would definitely book again it hard to put into words how beautiful the house is. Plenty to do without having to travel miles the furthest we travelled was to the Eden Project that was worth the visit. The cafe on the boat yard it well worth a visit we had a great break fast there, the staff were very friendly. If you are looking at this property book it you will love it & the location .

This house is beautifully decorated spotlessly clean , extremely comfortable and very well equipped. It was like being home from home. The village has a shop that has most things in it and the staff are very friendly. It also has a pub but we unfortunately didn’t have time to use. The house is well situated and has many things to do in a short drive away. Lizards Point is a short drive away hand is well worth the visit for its spectacular views . A lovely place to stay, we highly recommend it.

Can’t really fault it but we did run out of hot water quite a lot with everyone taking showers. Maybe adjust the timer to give hot water longer.

My family and I had a wonderful time at The Old Counting House in Gweek. The property was immaculately clean, beautifully furnished, and had all the amenities needed for a relaxing holiday! The house is very spacious with tonnes of room for everyone including a big driveway and front garden. The hot tub was a huge hit with the kids and the location of the holiday home in the centre of Gweek made daily walks to the seal sanctuary, village shop, and lovely local cafe a joy! We really couldn't fault the holiday home in terms of space, quality, and amenities - we will definitely be back!
