Journeys End

Perched on the headland at Coverack, this two-bedroom cottage at 20 Headland Cottages sits within a traditional fishing village on the Lizard's east coast. Sea views extend across the bay from the property, and Porthbeer Cove Beach is a 4-minute walk away. Coverack's harbour, protected by a stone breakwater, still has working fishing boats, and the harbour wall is a reliable spot for crabbing.

Inside, the cottage has two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a living room with sofa. The kitchen is fully equipped. Wi-Fi is available throughout, and free on-site parking is provided. Dogs are not accepted at this property.

The outdoor space is a real draw - a garden, terrace, and access to a tennis court, along with seating and picnic areas facing the sea.

Coverack sits on internationally significant geology - the Lizard Complex here includes rare serpentine and gabbro rocks from the Earth's mantle, visible as striking green and red patterns along the foreshore. The coast path south to Cadgwith covers about 4 miles through this landscape, with views over Kennack Sands. The Lizard Lighthouse heritage centre is roughly 11.8 miles away, and the village itself has a shop, a gallery, and the Lifeboat House tea room. Swimming and snorkelling in the sheltered bay are popular in warmer months.

Best for a couple or small family drawn by the sea views and the four-minute walk to Porthbeer Cove. Less good for larger groups - this is a two-bedroom cottage.
