Headland Apt 17

Headland Apt 17 is a one-bedroom apartment in the Headland Apartments block above Coverack on the eastern Lizard, sleeping two with one bathroom. With 65 reviews on Sykes, it's one of the more tried-and-tested properties in this part of Cornwall.

The apartment includes wifi, off-road parking, washing machine, and access to a garden. No dishwasher, no dog access. The layout is compact - suited to a couple rather than two adults travelling separately. No sea view from the apartment itself, but the elevated position gives views over Coverack village rooftops toward the cove. With 65 reviews logged on Sykes, it's the most-reviewed property in Coverack on the platform.

Coverack beach is 900 metres away - a sheltered harbour cove with calm water, a lifeboat station, and the Paris Hotel above the sea wall. Porthoustock, a working aggregate beach used by cargo vessels, is 5.1km north. Cadgwith, a small fishing village with a thatched pub and two working boats still hauling crab pots, is 6.5km south along the coast path. Kennack Sands - a broader beach in a National Landscape (formerly AONB) - lies between the two. Changeover is Friday.

Best for couples who want a quiet base on the Lizard, within walking distance of the sea. Less good for dogs or anyone expecting in-apartment dining facilities (no dishwasher).
