  • Charming bungalow with views out to sea from the kitchen/diner
  • A stunning beach from which to safely swim, paddleboards or boats and within easy reach of a local dive school
  • Located at the midway point of the SW Coast Path for easy exploring, with the Lizard Peninsula in easy reach
  • Great local café for a bite to eat as well as a lovely newly refurbished local pub just a few steps away
Property code: OC-LPEBB

Gazing from the windows of this property, guests can enjoy uninterrupted views to the beach just metres away. In fact, the sea could hardly be any closer, and beach lovers will be able to spend as much time as they like sunbathing, swimming in the clean waters, kayaking, paddle boarding and watching the fishing boats come in. Soak up the atmosphere out in the terraced garden and take in the fresh sea air or take a stroll to the village café for brunch, which is under a mile.

Waking up to the sound of waves lapping on the beach is one of life's simplest pleasures and one of the true joys of staying at Little Pebble. In the morning, walk down to the beach, coffee in hand, and breathe in the tranquillity of the day before anyone else arrives or, take your breakfast onto the patio and embrace the fresh sea air. At cooler times of the year, light the warming wood burner in the lounge and spend a cosy evening in with a film or a favourite book while flames flicker in the fireplace.

Once a thriving centre of pilchard fishing, the village of Porthallow on the eastern edge of the Lizard Peninsula is a quiet spot with a couple of well-regarded cafes and shingle beach.  The nearest shop is just of couple of miles away in St Keverne. The Five Pilchards Inn in Porthallow is a lovely spot to pop to for dinner and a drink. There is also a diving centre close by at Porthkerris if you need some more adventure. The whole of this picturesque peninsula is easily accessible from the cottage, with Lizard Point situated 12 miles away: an excellent location for spotting wildlife including migratory seabirds, grey seals, and even dolphins and porpoise.

Fantastic cottage in a lovely spot, perfect for exploring the area. Amazing views of the sea from the kitchen/diner. Super comfy beds, and all the stuff you need to make a home from home.

The cottage was wonderful - very cosy, warm and well equipped. We did cook a few nights and had everything we needed. The views are lovely - although I suspect maybe in the summer the car park (on the beach) might be busier and spoil the sea views a little. We were there in February and it was very quiet.

We take a holiday on the Lizard most years, but stayed in this cottage for the first time. It became a favourite due to the location, the cleanliness, comfort and the view! It was peaceful at night too.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Little Pebble. The location was perfect for a morning swim, and for picking up some amazing scenery along the South West Coast path. Lots of tourist areas also very easily accessible, but yet retaining peace and tranquility. Managed to lose many an hour just looking out from the cottage over the beach!
