Pol View

Pol View is a five-bedroom farmhouse near Gunwalloe on the Lizard peninsula, sleeping nine guests across three bathrooms. It has sea views from the property, an enclosed garden, BBQ, and off-road parking. The cottage has won accommodation awards and holds 23 guest reviews. No dogs or pets are permitted.

The house has Wi-Fi, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms make it workable for a large family or two families sharing, though nine guests across three bathrooms requires some coordination in the morning. Sea views are a confirmed feature. Friday changeover.

Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach is 1 mile away - a sheltered National Trust beach beside a 14th-century clifftop church. Poldhu Cove is 1.4 miles, a wider surfing beach with a cafe, and Polurrian Beach is 2.1 miles. The Lizard has some of the most varied coastline in Cornwall - serpentine rock formations, cliff stacks, and clear water over white sand at low tide.

Best for: larger families wanting a farmhouse base on the Lizard with sea views and space to spread out. Less good for: guests with dogs, anyone wanting to walk to a village for food, or groups of more than nine who need extra bathrooms.
