Lamorna

Lamorna is a 4-bedroom cottage at Praa Sands in west Cornwall, arranged over 3 floors and sleeping 8. The property sits less than 700 metres from Praa Sands beach - a mile-long stretch of surf-facing sand between Helston and Penzance.

The open-plan ground floor combines kitchen, dining, and sitting areas. The kitchen has an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge, fridge-freezer, wine cooler, dishwasher, and washing machine with tumble dryer. A king-size bedroom with TV sits on the first floor alongside a twin (zip-link, convertible to king-size on request) and a family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. The second floor holds a king-size with en-suite walk-in shower and a double bedroom. Four TVs, Smart TV capability, and WiFi are provided throughout. A cloakroom is on the ground floor.

Outside, a rear enclosed garden has decking and furniture. Off-road parking fits 2 cars, but charging electric vehicles at the property is prohibited. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome. Fuel, bed linen, and towels are included. A highchair, travel cot, and stairgate are available on request.

Praa Sands beach is 700 metres, lifeguarded in summer with a car park directly behind the sand. Porthcew at Rinsey Cove - a quiet National Trust beach with mining heritage in the cliffs - is 1.4 miles along the coast path. Prussia Cove is 1.6 miles. Penzance and Marazion are about 15 minutes east by car, and the Welloe pub on the clifftop above Praa Sands is 0.9 miles.

Nearby: Praa Sands (700m) and Porthcew Rinsey Cove (1.4 miles). See our Germoe guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for families or groups with two dogs, given the enclosed garden and off-road parking; less suited to guests needing step-free access, as the accommodation is arranged over three floors, or to electric vehicle drivers, since charging at the property is prohibited.
