"Lovely little cottage with tons of character and a nice deceptively roomy modern interior. Great location for a stay with walks and access to the water near by in a quiet charming village.

"We had a lovely room with sea views from each of our two windows. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked a table for an evening meal and this was very good. The location of the hotel was great. You can walk from the hotel on the coastal path to St Keverne (about 2 miles) although this is very challenging. However after we'd walked on this path, we found out there was actually an easier path which we'll walk along next time. We might even get to St Keverne as this time we turned round after about 45 mins."

The evening menu was quite expensive & 'fussy'. There were brown marks on our bathroom tiles which we wiped off quite easily but not great to see skid marks in the shower area!

"The cottage was the perfect place for my partner, our dog, and me. Paula and Paul are fantastic hosts who give you plenty of space to enjoy your stay, while always remaining available to help out and offer local advice. The cream tea on arrival was a very welcome treat, and the cottage itself was spotless, featuring lovely touches that made it feel incredibly homely. It is just a short walk to The Devil’s Frying Pan—which is well worth a wander over with a glass of wine to watch the moon rise.Cadgwith village is less than a quarter-mile walk down a fairly steep footpath, but it is well worth the effort for the fresh fish and authentic insights into local life. We loved the folk singing at the pub, the great food, and the lovely surrounding walks. The location is also perfectly central for visiting other spots around the Lizard Peninsula."
