Lovely cottage, lots of character. Great location for a chilled out holiday with lots of walking for the 3 of us. Our first stay in this cottage, but the latest of many holidays on the Lizard, Just confirmed why we keep coming back here year after year and Tony did not wnat to leave, think Badger really liked it here too (that's the dog)! We love the walk to Kynance & then to Lizard Point. Refreshments at both are great especially the fresh crab! Fish & Chip shop do a great takeout. We went to the beaches at Kennack Sands, Praa Sands, Hayle, Porthcurno and Sennan Cove - all great walks.

A lovely stay in a comfortable cottage made better by a week of hot weather. We enjoyed the proximity to Kynance Cove and Kennack Sands for swimming and walks across the fields to Cadgwith for fresh fish and crab. We also enjoyed walking back from Mullion to Kynance on wetter days especially because of the wild ponies. Thank you for a great time and we hope to be back soon.

Beautiful cottage with interesting historic detail, very comfortable home from home! Weather typically English, bright sunshine, windy to the other end of the spectrum, rain & fog - so we got to hear the foghorn. Lovely coastal walks, that our 2 dogs Dylan & Mondy enjoyed, as did we. Enjoyed an atmospheric evening with Morris dancers at the Witch Ball to finish off our quickly ending holiday week. Thank You.

Have had a lovely week, lovely cottage very clean & cosy must be our 50th year on the Lizard and we will be back again hopefully to retire in a few years time! Super meal at the Witch Ball, thank you to Claire, Ollie, Shelley & Jake for that, would probably passed it by if not for you! Had a super evening meal & the mussells at lunch time were just fab! Weather mixed but we didnn't mind just so pleased and happy to be back on the Lizard, walking every where and being in such a very nice cottage .... Thank you. If you like beer, try the "Witch Ball Special" brewed just round the corner. Russell.

We decided to do something different this christmas so headed for Lizard. The cottage was superb in every way, it was very clean and tidy with everything we needed. We have decided we will be coming back in the future. We had some amazing walks with the dog and some of the views are breathtaking. Thank you

What a wonderful week we have had here. Fabulous cottage, with all home comforts. This was our first stay on the Lizard and it certainly won't be our last. Thank you so much Lisa for looking after the cottage so well. It was a pleasure to stay somewhere so clean!

Cottage beautifully appointed. We were very lucky with the weather all except one day. Loved the age and character of the building plus a bit of the background about it.

We've had a really lovely holiday. The cottage is very comfortable and cosy - we settled in straight away! Had lots of fantastic walks and really enjoyed exploring the Lizard - we only used the car twice during our stay! We were very lucky with the weather - didn't need our coats at all and we even managed to tire Millie (the dog) out! Thanks for a lovely time.

Had a wonderful holiday, We thought the cottage was beautiful and more than we could of expected. It has been a brilliant, warmly place to stay especially with a dog and a young child. We would recommend The Witch Ball for food. Both pubs are welcoming and accept dogs and children day & night. The Coast coffee shop is lovely for a Cornish Cream Tea! Lots of coastal paths for long doggie walks with breath taking sceneries. We would definitely come back!
