Penrose Farm Cottage

Penrose Farm Cottage is an 18th-century four-bedroom cottage at Rosenithon on the Lizard, sleeping six across two bathrooms. The property has accessible features throughout and sits on a farm track in the quieter eastern half of the peninsula, 0.8km from Porthoustock Beach. With 68 reviews on Sykes it has a well-established track record as a family base.

Four bedrooms sleep six. The garden and BBQ suit summer stays. Off-road parking, Wi-Fi, dishwasher, and washing machine are all included. No pets. The accessible features make this one of the few Lizard properties suitable for guests with limited mobility.

Porthoustock is a working quarry beach - flat and sheltered, good for swimming, though coarser underfoot than sand beaches. Coverack harbour, 3.3km south, has a pub and cafe and is one of the few Lizard villages with a sandy cove at its foot. The South West Coast Path passes through St Keverne parish, putting coastal walking within reach without a car. Ponsence Cove is 5.5km for a more secluded swim along the same stretch of coast.

Best for families needing accessible accommodation on the Lizard, or those wanting a genuinely quiet eastern-peninsula base with coast path access. Less good for anyone wanting nightlife or fast road links - the single-track lanes to the Lizard demand patience.
