Beach Cottage

Beach Cottage in Cadgwith sits directly on Cadgwith Beach on the Lizard - the front door opens onto the shore, with fishing boats launching from the same beach each morning. Cadgwith remains one of the few active fishing coves in Cornwall, and the daily activity at the water's edge is part of what makes this location distinct from other coastal rentals. The Cadgwith Cove Inn pub is next door.

The cottage sleeps 2 in 1 bedroom with a shower room and patio. A dishwasher and Wi-Fi are included, though there is no washing machine on-site. Parking is provided. The single-storey layout makes it manageable for guests with limited mobility. 34 guest reviews at a 5/10 rating. Friday changeover, which suits guests arriving from the M5 corridor on a long weekend.

The coast path runs past the door. Kynance Cove is 2.5 miles to the west - a well-known cove with dramatic rock formations, best visited at low tide. Mullion Cove, with its working harbour and National Trust managed headland, is 4 miles further along the path. The Lizard Point, the southernmost tip of mainland Britain, is a short drive south of Cadgwith village.

Ideal for couples wanting a genuine working fishing village rather than a tourist-oriented beach resort. Right for guests who want to walk directly onto the coast path from the door. Less good for anyone needing a washing machine for a longer stay, or those wanting a quiet isolated location - Cadgwith Cove Inn and the beach activity means this is a lively spot in the evenings.
