Marvel at the sunsetting behind the horizon before retiring for some much needed rest and relaxation in the king-size bedroom serviced by a handy, sleek en-suite shower room. Njoya lies on the South West coastal path, a 630 mile route that meanders along the coast, ideal for ramblers and those looking to experience the quaint seaside villages dotted along it. Take a short walk into the heart of Coverack to stock up on necessities at the local convenience store before treating your loved one to a delicious meal at the Paris Hotel or The Lifeboat House Restaurant. On a sunny day head to Porthbeer Cove to stroll along the golden sands or splash around in the azure waters, ideal for snorkelling.
Njoya lies on The Lizard Heritage Coast where you can travel to Lizard to tour the Lizard Lighthouse, a museum documenting local history then head to the National Trust site Lizard Point, a rugged rocky coastline with expansive sea vistas; the most southerly point of mainland UK also lies nearby.

Unlock the wonders of Cornwall at Njoya.
Coverack is a small fishing village in Cornwall, just a few miles from the most southerly point of mainland Britain at Lizard Point. Coverack is a lovely town located away from the hustle and bustle of more popular tourist destinations, and it features a beach in a sheltered bay that is great for swimming, windsurfing, and kayaking, in addition to other amenities like a pub and shops. St. Keverne, located four miles from Poldowrian, is home to a Post Office, several stores, and two watering holes. The Lizard Peninsula is home to some of the world's most unique and beautiful geology and flora, as well as a number of stunning bays and beaches. Wonderful sea views can be had from Lizard Point's windswept cliffs, which also make for great hiking along this section of the South West Coast Path. Helston, a market town further inland, hosts the annual Flora Day Festival, and Gweek is home to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. The drive to Flambards amusement park is short, and the Culdrose Airfield, where the public can meet the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy once a year, is less than fifteen miles away. Coverack is a great base from which to explore the rest of The Lizard Peninsula, as well as the picturesque coastal communities of St. Ives and Falmouth and their many beaches and quaint towns.

The only sounds were birdsong, bees, waves, and the occasional human voice (or passing helicopter!). Right on the coastal path, but privacy wasensured due to the natural hedge around the small patio, onto which the twin doors open from the living / dining room (although guests upstairs might be able to gaze down on you if on their balcony). The sun loungers were perfectly adequate as far as I was concerned, but the sea air has inevitably given them a touch of rust! Kitchen facilities, bathroom, hanging space, bed, and decor all top notch. Especially welcome was the wealth of maps and literature about the local area and Cornwall in general. Great location with the fish and chip shop and Paris Hotel on the harbour just minutes away, and the Bay Hotel also open to non-residents, plus the local shop with fresh food and pasties. It might be possible to improve upon waste disposal and recycling arrangements, as if the bin is full it seems you are supposed to store the full bag indoors until collection day. Also, the postcode, almost inevitably, doesn't land you at the wonderful parking area on the hill behind the property - so if arriving in the dark you might be struggling! We found Njoya by looking at the pictures on the booking site, and the car park from a chance encounter with two other guests! Only 94 steps inside and out, so good exercise with the baggage! Highly recommended property, with a beautiful aspect. Would definitely stay again.

Even nicer to have some milk and teabags etc to allow us to have a cuppa after the long journey. Also free parking available, not all properties in the village have this, definitely a plus. Would definitely return.
