The position and views are outstanding.

Hight, Wirral, Sep 2025

We stayed in Pentreath Studio just as the weather was turning and felt comfy, cosy wnd relaxed all week.
The studio is well placed on the Lizard - walks in Near to everything but very private with options for walks direct from the door. Robert and Andrea are helpful with queries whilst respecting your privacy. Everything was spotless. We would definitely return here (and like previous clients, have rebooked for 2026).

Pentreath Studio

Minshull, Leeds, Sep 2025

Little Barn is located in a quiet lane a short stroll from Cadgwith cove.The cottage is a very clean, comfortable cottage with a pleasing decor. The enclosed garden is very convenient for those with dogs. There is even an artisan baker a short distance away. Would recommend and hope to return.

Tullett, Bristol, Aug 2025

Great location, very close to Lizard village - small farm shop, others, and eating places, easy to immediately access the coastal path both E&W, and fairly short distances to nearby beaches; a very pleasant little cottage for three.

Wynwallow Cottage

MacKenzie, Poole, Aug 2025

Perfect beach side holiday apartment would definitely stay again

Porthtowan View

Allen, Torquay, Aug 2025

The property was great, we have always had lovely stays there.

Primrose Cottage

Ivey, Hackney, Aug 2025

Well-equipped, great location, really nice place to stay. Second stay here.

Cockleshell Cottage

Hardman, Chorley, Aug 2025

Comfortable and spacious with the bonus of a bathroom and ensuite. Well equipped for meal preparation. Nice size TV and comfortable sofas.

Merlin Cottage

Hiskey, Ipswich, Aug 2025

Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at Tresweeta and particularly appreciated the clean linen and towels, the use of wind break and buckets and spades etc and the effective wifi. The location of the property is great for exploring beautiful far southwest Cornwall and there is plenty of space in the property.

Tresweeta

Crawford, Darlington, Aug 2025

The best holiday let we have stayed in so far! The price was fair for the standard and the facilities and we have rebooted for next year!
We appreciated the attention to detail from the kitchen equipment to the washing/drying clothes facilities to the comfort of extra blankets and the decorations. The art work was beautiful too. You can tell the owners take pride in their property and it was appreciated. The cleaner was lovely and the place was clean too.

The Loft

Foster, FOLKESTONE, Aug 2025

What a fabulous and gorgeous cottage, with everything needed for a great holiday - a real home from home! Great location also, being right in the centre of the village.
We look forward to staying again soon!

Triss Rose Cottage

Cooper, Guildford, Aug 2025

Cottage was comfortable, beds and towels were lovely a great base to enjoy our holiday. However there is no longer a seaview from down stairs, as a neighbouring property has put a shipping container in their garden, the bathrooms & water system need updating. Very dribbly showers. Things like the kitchen and washing line ect are very old, useable but if updated would improve the property. Dishwasher, fridge and washing machine all good.

Ivy Cottage

Parsons, Gloucestershire, Aug 2025

Pippins is by far one of the most perfect cottages my family and I have stayed in. From its beautiful decor to being equipped with absolutely everything you could think of, we couldn’t have been more satisfied! It was refreshing to stay in a property with a fully equipped kitchen and the small detail of the cream tea on arrival really set off our holiday. My family and I had the most wonderful break and Sheila the property owner was super helpful and kind. I cannot recommend this property more highly, so much so we booked to stay again next year on the first day of our break we were so please with it!

Thank you Sheila and the handover team for the perfect end to our summer holidays, we can’t wait to come back next summer! :)

Pippins

Rice, Letchworth Garden City, Aug 2025

We really don't want to go home! What a lovely place The Loft is and we feel really blessed to have been here. Home from home with everything we could have wished for. 2 weeks of fantastic beach trips with boys in the sea every day - albeit 1 storm day. Thank you for such a great stay. We will be back! P.S. Our boys rate The Loft the best place we have stayed in Cornwall! Praise indeed for a few years of great stays!

The Loft

Foster, Kent, Aug 2025

Overall Merryn was a nice place to stay. We found it cosy and quiet, the bed was comfortable and the shower was lovely and warm. Would definitely benefit from a hoover in the apartment, as there was a lot of hair when we got there but I didn’t mind cleaning up with what was available. The host was friendly and informative.

Merryn

Glasgow, Bolton, Aug 2025

Lovely secluded cottage ideal for quiet get away for 2.

The Chocolate Box

Jenman, Hereford, Aug 2025

The location of the cottage is just perfect with stunning views. The cottage itself is very well equiped with comfortable beds and shower.

Rest-a-Shore

Dupont, Paris, Aug 2025

Our stay at The Old Boathouse was lovely. The apartment is beautifully decorated and equipped, and is a short walk from the beach and pub. It had everything we needed including great WiFi and parking. We’d love to visit again.

Howard, Bexley, Aug 2025

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Little Tamar. The view of the sea was stunning. This will be a hard act to follow. We will definitely return.

Little Tamar

Helliwell, Glossop, Aug 2025

We’ve had a lovely stay at Sea Breezes, the property is really comfortable and well equipped, and we’ve all slept really well too. The location is fantastic, and we’ve enjoyed spending time on Polurrian beach, right next to us. Great place to come back to after a busy day. Thank you.

Sea Breezes

Warrington Family, Aug 2025

Overall an enjoyable stay on The Lizard. The property is as described and with a little more attention to detail would be superb value. The location and use of hotel facilities are the major draws. The WiFi is very intermittent. A few grumbles have been raised with the owners.

Six The Cove

Towler, CHRISTCHURCH, Aug 2025

We stayed for 2 weeks and loved it , would come again

Shortwoods

Cotton, LINCOLN, Aug 2025

The Lizard is a must to visit as is Atlantic Cottage.
Immaculate throughout with every convenience for guests , those with two and four legs, thought of by the hosts.

Atlantic View Cottage

Hollinshead, WARRINGTON, Aug 2025

The cottage was welcoming with everything we required for our stay.
The location was perfect for us to use it as a base to getting to other places like Kynance Cove and Lizards Point.

Merlin Cottage

Yousuf, High Wycombe, Aug 2025

The Cuckoo's Nest is ideally situated on the edge of beautiful ancient woodland, which we were able to explore, as well as visiting several villages, just a short drive away.
Steven and Kim were really friendly and helpful, and have made the property, light, airy and very comfortable.It had everything we needed, and we would definitely go again!

Alison and Brian

The Cuckoo's Nest

Davies, Penzance, Aug 2025

Nice lodge and we used hot tub a lot, great central location around 30 mins from Penzance, Hayle, Helston etc

Clowance

Blackmore, Taunton, Aug 2025

A perfectly placed cottage to explore the Lizard Peninsula.

The property has a small garden, perfect for a summers evening barbecue. The small off road parking space was more than enough to park a van.

Everything is clean and in good condition.

I would recommend this cottage, and will most likely stay there again.

The Haven

Walker, Batley, Aug 2025

Another lovely stay at the wonderful Cockleshell Cottage. Always welcoming and clean and fresh. The cream tea left for our arrival is very much appreciated. We love The Lizard and Cockleshell cottage. So much so we have booked it again for next year!
