"The property was quaint and quiet. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment and some nice cooking supplies. The welcome gifts were a nice surprise and delicious. The washing area in the shed was great, sadly the clothesline was broken but the dryer worked perfectly. The back garden was very private and pretty. One downside was the windows were quite dirty and full of spider webs. The location is good if you have a car as no busses come to the area and taxis get a bit expensive. On a plus...

The property is in an ideal location for exploring the beaches and coves on the Lizard peninsula....

Cottage set in 2 acres, next to coast path, short walk to beach, pub & cafe! 😎

"The cottage was the perfect place for my partner, our dog, and me. Paula and Paul are fantastic hosts who give you plenty of space to enjoy your stay, while always remaining available to help out and offer local advice. The cream tea on arrival was a very welcome treat, and the cottage itself was spotless, featuring lovely touches that made it feel incredibly homely. It is just a short walk to The Devil’s Frying Pan—which is well worth a wander over with a glass of wine to watch the moon rise.Cadgwith village is less than a quarter-mile walk down a fairly steep footpath, but it is well worth the effort for the fresh fish and authentic insights into local life. We loved the folk singing at the pub, the great food, and the lovely surrounding walks. The location is also perfectly central for visiting other spots around the Lizard Peninsula."
