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.

Once again a lovely stay at Suncroft. We can’t thank Davina enough for the treats for us and the pooch, along with all the home from home comforts and cleanliness of the house. The house is so private and the view from the sun room is stunning. We would spend hours just watching the sea. The king bed is super comfortable, which helped when falling asleep to the sounds of the waves. Opening the curtains in the morning to the beautiful sea view and sitting in bed with a cup of tea is highly recommended! The only negative we would say is a couple of the double glazed windows are blown…one in the sun room and also in the king bedroom too, so these definitely need to be replaced, especially as you don’t want the view to be obscured. The house may be a little dated in places, but that adds to the charm and also helps make this one of the most affordable places in Cornwall with an amazing sea view. We miss the view already and cannot wait to return!
