Little Barn is just beautiful. It’s in a perfect peaceful location, but with easy access to all that the Lizard has to offer. It is immaculately furnished and equipped with high quality furniture and furnishings. The owners are so friendly and right next door if you need them, and the cake on arrival was delicious!
Winchester, Dawlish, Jul 2025
Thank you Cornish Cottages for allowing us to stay last week in the beautiful Stones Throw.
Lovely little touches upon arrival, flowers and cream teas, most appreciated.
Loved the decor, especially in the co-ordinating living room. Bedroom with on suite was also good, lovely and roomy
Only the two of us and our pooch. Normally with family.
We were able to visit places we had not seen before on the Lizard, Housel bay Hotel, Polurrian Hotel (down the road from Stones Throw) both served lovely lunches, as well as visiting old haunts, kennack sands, Cadgwith, Mullion Cove and Kynace Cove.
Very relaxing holiday, look forward to staying in Stones Throw again in the future.
Would highly recommend this property.

Clean and neat cottage, in a great location.
Morris, Portsmouth, Jul 2025
Loved our stay here.
If you want a simple but comfortable base from which to explore West Cornwall this is ideal.
A fantastic view and just a short walk from the beach.

McKenzie, BRISTOL, Jul 2025
What a find! A great property that had everything we needed and more. Super location for walking and discovering The Lizard. We'll be back.
Gunningham, Cwmbran, Jul 2025
Our 4th time at Shortwoods and it always feels like coming home. Comfortable and convenient, and our 4th stay probably says it all. Thoroughly recommend.
Basden, COLEFORD, Jul 2025
Clean and well presented property in an amazing location which is hard to beat. Lots of room for two people with everything you could need for a perfect Holiday. The Bungalow was very comfortable and in a good state of repair and nicely furnished. Would definitely stay again, if you need WiFi then it’s probably not for you, but with this location you shouldn’t need it.
Goodwin, Chatteris, Jul 2025
Very clean welcoming property. Short walk from the coastal path which has exceptional views. Short walk from co-op and village.
Kenworthy, LINCOLN, Jul 2025
This property is so well equipped and offers panoramic views of the coastline and is a haven away from busier areas. So one can relax and fully switch off. It is beautifully decorated and furnished to a very high contemporary standard in an amazing colour palette. Would thoroughly recommend,
Wood, TUNBRIDGE WELLS, Jul 2025
I have stayed in 4 other properties nearby as a regular visitor to Lizard this suits me perfectly and I'm already planning to return later this year.
Saunders, Gloucester, Jul 2025
A high quality, secluded and sheltered property, perfectly safe for pets. The hosts are warm, welcoming and interesting, well known and liked in this wonderful community! We attended a couple of events at the recreation centre and were made so welcome and with footpaths it was a very short walk for us 70+ year olds!
Even Cadgwith was only 15 minutes away and has a wonderful crab shop, where, for the price of a sandwich you can buy enough crab for a couple of days! Brown and white meat!
It is a smallish place but for two and a little dog it was lovely.
We would definitely stay again, we are very house proud people and loved how clean and bright the accommodation was and how private the space is!
Osmond, Whitehaven, Jul 2025
Well equipped and comfortable accommodation in an idyllic location.
Tipples Bunce, Cardiff, Jul 2025
Thank you, I've stayed in a number of holiday lets nearby and Little Criccieth is by far the beast and suitable for all my needs - I look forward to returning in the autumn.
Saunders, Gloucestershire, Jul 2025
We stayed here for 2 weeks and had an amazing time . We swam early every morning and it's a great way to start the day. Great kayaking and walks to the village and beyond .
The house is very comfortable and clean and kitchen is well stocked with utensils/crockery. We moved the 2 armchairs in front of the window and sat watching the amazing view for hours in the evening . Seen seals/dolphins and blue fin tuna .were seen . The location is excellent and we had a much needed chilled holiday at the Winch house. We will definitely return . Thankyou
McCartney, Belfast, Jul 2025
Fantastic stay in a fantastic location.
Appleton, YORK, Jul 2025
The property is off-road and located in an airy space facing the picturesque woods, and it’s fully equipped with everything you need. The furniture and beds are really comfortable with excellent views outside, and the kitchen has a fridge, washing machine, freezer and new oven, all in excellent condition. Inside the property is very bright and cheerful … and spotless.
The owners Steve and Kim are very friendly and welcoming, as are their two teenage children. We really enjoyed our stay, it was our fourth visit and we would thoroughly recommend it, it’s so peaceful and only a short drive from several beaches.
Aukland, NUNEATON, Jul 2025
Beautiful property in a lovely location.
Perfect for one couple to have privacy upstairs whilst the other guests stayed at each end of the property downstairs.
Everything was clean and the kitchen was beautifully equipped with everything in excellent condition. Very friendly owners . Easy to park . And lovely garden outside to sit in. Would love to return next year
Mills, IVER HEATH, Jul 2025
As always a lovely stay in our Cornish home from home. See you next year.
Pillinger, FROME, Jul 2025
Stunning property, right near the beach.
Everything you needed for a holiday, including a washing machine and dryer.
Fully fitted kitchen
We will be returning.
Austin, Thornton-Cleveleys, Jul 2025
The property is bright, modern and easy to live in for a holiday. It is well equipped and everything works well. The view is fabulous and there is masses of parking. The new umbrella for the terrace was fantastic and allowed us to enjoy this space.
Most importantly it is dog friendly and we are so grateful for that, with dog washing off sand facilities, hard floors and the thoughtful addition of a throw on the sofa (although our labrador did not make use of it) all add to a feeling our dog was genuinely welcome.
There books in the hall and a few games too.
A great place to stay and we have already booked for next year.
Griffin, CLEVEDON, Jul 2025
We have stayed here a few times now and have booked for 2026 already. Great house with everything in it you need. Nice location and the living room and kitchen are upstairs where there is a nice view across the field to the sea. Take binoculars if you like to view the ships that round Lizard point. We look forward to our next visit.
Lambert-Hope, HOCKLEY, Jul 2025
A great place to stay. Very clean and spacious for two + dog. Well equipped. Fantastic shower with the most fluffy gorgeous smelling towels. A fantastic location for visiting the many pretty coves nearby.Secure fenced garden for the dog. A very peaceful garden with just the sound of birds singing. A truly lovely Cabin for relaxing and as a base for exploring The Lizard area.
White, Poole, Jul 2025
The most amazing place. Can I live there please!
Andrews, Saltash, Jul 2025
We have stayed at Barnside a few times now and we love the accommodation. Comfy beds, excellent bathroom facilities and it has everything you need including a stunning rear garden and beautiful views of the sea from the front garden.
Very dog friendly accommodation.
It’s walking distance to all of the local shops in the village where there is plenty of choice for eating out.
Pawlett, Weston super Mare, Jul 2025
Excellent property with everything needed for a home from home experience and in an excellent location to explore the Lizard peninsula!
Clarke, Derby, Jul 2025
Absolutely beautiful property in our favourite location, right at the edge of The Lizard. We've stayed in many properties in either Lizard Village or Mullion over the last 30 years and really enjoyed this break, as we always do in Cornwall, the home in our hearts.
Views were spectacular, as was the Goan Fish Curry at Lizard Shellfish
Buggs, CHATHAM, Jul 2025
Could not have been better. This was our 3rd visit to Trewoon cottages at Poldhu cove and each visit has been exceptional.
