Longhouse

Longhouse is a detached cottage at Chywoone Farm in St Keverne, the main village on the eastern side of the Lizard. The property is a barn conversion that sleeps 4 in two bedrooms.

The double and twin bedrooms are served by a ground-floor bathroom with bath, shower over, basin, and WC. The fitted kitchen is separate from the dining room, and the sitting room has a woodburner-effect electric fire, not a real wood burner. A washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, TV with FreeSat, and WiFi are all provided. Oil central heating keeps the cottage warm outside summer.

A patio garden at the front leads to shared use of a 2-acre rear garden - generous space for the one well-behaved dog allowed, which must be kept on a lead outside. Off-road parking fits two cars. Coverack Beach, a sand-and-shingle shore in a fishing village with calm water and kayak hire, is 1.3 miles southeast. Porthoustock Beach - a shingle cove known for diving access to the Manacles reef - is 1.6 miles away.

St Keverne's village square has two pubs (the Three Tuns and the White Hart) and a village store, all about half a mile from the cottage. The coast path from Coverack south toward Kennack Sands passes through serpentine rock formations and isolated coves. Helston is 8 miles northwest, and Cadgwith - another fishing village with a thatched pub - is 4 miles south.

Nearby: Coverack Beach (1.3 miles) and Porthoustock Beach (1.6 miles). See our St Keverne guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for guests bringing a well-behaved dog who want a 2-acre shared garden. Less good for anyone wanting to walk to a beach - Coverack is a 1.3-mile drive. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Bookings run Saturday to Tuesday, Tuesday to Saturday or weekly from Saturday.
