Lizard Peninsula holiday cottages

Self-catering holiday homes on the Lizard

A holiday on the Lizard Peninsula on the south coast of Cornwall is simply unique. The Lizard Peninsula is stunningly beautiful at all times of the year and for this reason, has been a real inspiration for artists and writers going back generations. We have a large range of Lizard holiday cottages spread among the various picturesque villages on the peninsula, including Helston, Coverack, Mullion and Porthleven. Virtually surrounded by the sea, the Lizard Peninsula almost stands alone from the rest of the county. This area is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty whilst also being recognised as of international botanical importance.

The Lizard Peninsula has something to offer everyone whether it is families with young children, couples or groups of friends wanting to explore the area. Any visitor to the Lizard Peninsula should be sure to visit the valley of the River Helford, where numerous hamlets evoke the atmosphere of times past, and the many creeks and inlets evoke tales of smuggling and romance. 

The Lizard's beaches are also a must-visit for a holiday in West Cornwall - they are some of the most historic, unique and beautiful in England. At Mullion Cove, you’ll find yourself surrounded by tall stacks of ancient volcanic rock, while Poldhu Cove has a fascinating visitor centre showcasing the area’s historic contributions to transatlantic radio communication. At Gunwalloe Church Cove, you’ll find the Church of Storms which has stood since the 13th century. Take a look at our guide to the Lizard Peninsula for even more inspiration. 

Our holiday cottages in the area are wonderfully traditional - thatched roofs, white and blue exteriors - with plenty of modern amenities and luxury features. If you want to bring your pup along for the holiday fun, then be sure to check out our dog-friendly cottages around Lizard and across Cornwall too. We have a great collection of accommodation and holiday homes on the Lizard Peninsula, from character cottages to stunning self-catering farmhouses, all perfect for your next Cornwall getaway!
