Whisk away your loved ones to The Lizard Heritage Coast for a relaxing stay in this bright and homely six-person cottage surrounded by picturesque sandy beaches and walking trails. Get competitive in the outside games room and discover the secret garden backed by a trickling stream. Spend your evenings enjoying home-cooked meals at the dinner table before cosying up on the sofa in front of a film in the lounge.

Step inside and find yourself in the light and neutral-toned kitchen/diner with a spacious ‘L’-shaped kitchen beneath a white-washed wooden beamed ceiling. Gather around the wooden dining table with chairs for special home-cooked meals with your loved ones. Continue into the cosy lounge with two plump sofas and an armchair with cottage-style dual-aspect windows. Also downstairs is a double bedroom. Upstairs is a family bathroom plus two more bedrooms – a king-size and a twin room. Outside you can enjoy the spacious garden with a decked area, an outdoor games room and a secret garden.

The cottage is lovely and comfortable , the beds are very comfy . The kitchen is well equiped and really lovely . A Dvd player would be useful , we realise there used to be one . We had our cornish family to dinner and table and chairs were a great size , we had plenty of plates and glasses . We would love to stay again .

Lovely cosy cottage. Perfect for our family of 6. Close to beaches and nice hikes. Porthleven is just 10 min by car or 1.5h by hike away

Have stayed at the Smithy twice and already booked again for 2024. Very nice property in a quiet location. A beach, mainly small stones, close by or a sandy beach about a mile and a half away. If you like walking, the South-West coastal path runs adjacent to the beaches. Plenty of places to visit in Cornwall so I would suggest you have a car for trRead moreavelling. I would recommend this property to anyone. Hide
