Vine Cottage

Vine Cottage suits families and small groups looking for a base on the Lizard Peninsula. The two bedrooms—one with a king bed, one with zip-and-link singles—sleep four. Downstairs, a living room with woodburner and Smart TV opens to a second quieter sitting room; there's also a dining room and conservatory that leads to the garden. The kitchen has an electric cooker, dishwasher and the essentials for cooking proper meals. One bathroom with a shower completes the layout. Electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are all included; there's parking for one car on site.

The cottage sits in St Martin's, a village in the heart of the peninsula surrounded by coastal paths and sandy beaches within reach. The garden has a patio, furniture and a barbecue for outdoor eating. One well-behaved dog is welcome. The area offers fishing villages like Cadgwith and Coverack, dramatic clifftop walks, and beaches including Kynance Cove and Gunwalloe. Inland, the Helford River and its creeks are worth exploring. No smoking inside the property.
