We had a lovely week at Headlands Hideaway. We have stayed in Coverack several times & know the area well. The accomodation is very good, well equipped, plenty of room and a great location. Having an EV charger was a nice bonus.Dropped a point for comfort & equipment because there are no curtains upstairs. When we stayed we had good weather so room got too hot from the sun & no way of shutting it out and you cant see the TV.Despite this we did enjoy our stay.

Very well appointed modern house on clifftop near Coverack with amazing views over the sea. Comfortable. Brilliant shower. Us technophobes took a while to get to grips with an induction hob and the TV control. We would have appreciated some medium sized kitchen knives for cooking, not just one huge one and a couple of tiny ones. Otherwise a very good base. Not within easy walking distance of the village however (at the top of a steep hill!)

We had a very enjoyable week at the Headland Hideaway. The property was perfect - clean, comfortable and well-equipped. It's an 'upside down' house with the living areas upstairs which allowed for a spectacular view over the bay - and we were very lucky with the mild, sunny and rain-free weather! The location was fine for us, being mobile and happy to walk the 10-15 minutes along the coastal path into Coverack but less mobile visitors might find the short drive into the village a little tricky with its narrow road, tight bends and steep inclines. Coverack is a charming harbour village which we know well having been visiting for well over thirty years. The Lizard is a bit off the beaten visitor track and all the better for that!
