Chyheira

Chyheira is a dog-friendly bed and breakfast in Ruan Minor on the Lizard peninsula, rated 9.5 from 152 reviews on Booking.com - with staff scoring 9.9 and cleanliness 9.7. The B&B sits in this small village on the clifftops above Cadgwith, the well-known fishing cove connected by a 15-minute walk downhill.

Rooms have private bathrooms with garden views, carpeted floors, a TV and an electric kettle. Breakfast is a full English or Irish with warm dishes, juice and fruit - consistently praised in guest reviews. Daily housekeeping is included. WiFi covers the property, and check-in runs from 16:00 with checkout by 10:30.

The garden has an outdoor seating area, and free private parking on site takes the stress out of arriving on the Lizard's narrow lanes.

Ruan Minor is a quiet village with a shop, a craft workshop and the Pavilion Bar at the recreation ground. The South West Coast Path passes close by, connecting walkers to Cadgwith in one direction and Kennack Sands in the other. Kynance Cove and the Lizard Point - mainland Britain's most southerly point - are both within a few miles. The 13th-century parish church of St Rumon, with its ivy-clad tower, is a short walk from the property. Lizard Lighthouse is about 5 km south, making Chyheira a well-placed base for exploring the wilder stretches of Cornwall's south coast.
