Guests consistently highlight the conservatory as a favourite spot to relax and enjoy the scenery.

The location is universally praised for its stunning sea views, proximity to Praa Sands beach, and peaceful atmosphere, making it a standout feature.
Guests find the cottage very comfortable, with special mention of the beds and spacious layout. One minor note was a guest’s back not liking the lounge sofas, but the conservatory compensates.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, with ample bathrooms, kitchen amenities, and outdoor seating. Suggestions include a coffee maker, more firewood in winter, and a sun brolly for the picnic table.
Welcome packs and treats for dogs are frequently mentioned and much appreciated, though it should be noted these are not guaranteed for every stay.

The large flat patio area is ideal for relaxing after an enjoyable day. Up a steep slope, the smaller upper patio has further breathtaking views.
Access to the beautiful sandy beach with surf school and summer lifeguard patrol, and the scenic coastal pathway is down a small path a few yards away. This is truly a wonderful location for a great family holiday whatever the time of year. From this central location, a short drive will take you to the golf course, sailing at Newlyn and restaurants in Porthleven. Cornwall’s oldest charter town of Marazion overlooks the 12th century St Michael’s Mount (NT) accessed by a romantic causeway walk at low tide.
Travelling further south one will enter another world, the beautiful Lizard Peninsula. Almost untouched, it is flush with rare wildflowers, unspoilt fishing villages and sheltered beaches. It is home to the massive serpentine stacks of Kynance Cove caves at low tide and the secret location of the real Frenchman’s Creek.
The Lizard village offers craft shops, art galleries, cafes and inns clustered around the village green. A walk to the lighthouse, lifeboat station and mainland Britain’s most southerly point is a must. Also close by is the ancient coinage town of Helston famous for its Furry Dance held in May each year. Shops and pub ¼ mile.

Lovely place with an excellent view. The house was clean and tidy and the customer service excellent.

A great week despite the weather. A very well-equipped house, great views, comfortable beds. Some bits could do with updating, and blinds in the conservatory were a bit of a challenge to move up and down. Nothing better though than sitting in the conservatory, watching the sea, and the weather changing. Great location for exploring the end of Cornwall. Train from St Erth to St Ives is a must, as is walking over to St Michael’s Mount. Bedrooms might benefit from some thicker/blackout curtains, but have to admit we didn’t have any problems sleeping.
