No 5 The Beach Kennack Sands

No 5 The Beach Kennack Sands is a two-bedroom cottage for four in Ruan Minor, on the Lizard about 10 miles south of Falmouth. Both bedrooms have super king zip-link beds that convert to twins on request, a flexible setup for two couples, friends or a family. Two bathrooms serve the group. The village's history is tied to pilchard fishing at Cadgwith and the former serpentine stone works nearby at Poltesco.

WiFi, parking, a dishwasher, a washer/dryer and a garden are included, and up to two dogs can stay. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, a microwave and a fridge/freezer, and the lounge has a corner sofa, a Smart TV and a DVD player. Guests rate it 4.7 out of 5 from 12 reviews. Kennack Sands is 200 metres away and within walking distance, with a surf school and lifeguards in season. The South West Coast Path runs past the door through the Gwendreath Valley, and the fishing cove of Cadgwith is a 15-minute walk from the village.

Cadgwith Beach is 1.2 miles away, Kynance Cove 3.2 miles and Mullion Cove 3.7 miles, all workable day trips along the Lizard, alongside Coverack and Porthleven further round the coast.

**Best for:** Groups wanting flexible beds, coast-path access and a short walk to Kennack Sands' surf school.

**Less good for:** Four guests needing more than two bathrooms or step-free access.
