The Crag

One of England’s most southerly houses, this fabulous Arts and Crafts villa sleeps up to eight and sits in an acre of grounds on a front line cliff top, some 300 ft above sea level with breath-taking 180 degrees panoramic views of the sea and bay. The garden gate opens onto the coastal path, offering miles of stunning circular walks. Just three hundred yards from the gate, along the coastal path lies the small sandy beach of Housel Bay and when exposed at low tide, is ideal for guests to enjoy right at their doorstep.

About The Crag

The Crag offers home from home comfort all year round, lovingly restored and retaining the original features of the hall mosaic floor and stain glass hall windows. The spectacular views from the principal rooms, front bedrooms and outside patio are some of the most iconic in Cornwall, looking across the bay to the Lighthouse and the sea beyond. Huge picture windows and patio doors facing south to the sea allow maximum light and optimise the sea views to enjoy a summer evening or watch the Atlantic storms below in the winter, curled up by the log fire.

The house is the last one before the sea on a 'no through road' in a hamlet of fifteen houses and although secluded, is not isolated, with the Lizard village only half a mile away with a small selection of food shops, cafes and pubs - not forgetting Ann’s famous pasty shop.
