Chy Kerrik

Chy Kerrik is a 1-bedroom cottage near Cadgwith Beach, 800 metres from the shingle cove in this fishing village on the Lizard peninsula. The property sleeps 2 in a super-king zip-and-link bed that can be made up as a twin on request - a practical flexibility for couples and friends travelling together. One bathroom, a wood burner, and a BBQ are included, with parking and an enclosed garden for one dog.

Kynance Cove is 2.1 miles to the south - one of the most visited locations on the Lizard, with turquoise water in summer and clear views to the serpentine rock stacks at low tide. Mullion Cove Beach is 3.5 miles, with a working harbour and a National Trust car park. The cottage is available from £546 per week, and has a 4.6/5 rating from 26 reviews on HolidayCottages.

This property suits couples or friends wanting a compact base in a traditional Lizard fishing village. Good for walkers - the South West Coast Path passes through Cadgwith and connects directly south to Kynance Cove and Lizard Point, the most southerly point on mainland Britain. Not great for groups larger than 2, or guests needing space for more than 1 dog. The 1-bathroom layout is tight if two guests prefer separate morning routines.
