About this property

Detached cottage within walking distance of Coverack Harbour and beach

The cottage is located on the beautiful and unspoilt Lizard peninsular. It offers comfortable accommodation comprising a spacious lounge/kitchen/diner with separate bedroom (Kingsize bed) and large double shower room. The owners' property is adjacent but entirely separate. We shall be delighted to offer help/advice but your privacy shall be respected at all times. Coverack has a pub, cafes, and shops plus water sports hire. Nearby is Roskillys Organic Farm - famous for its ice cream - and the charming village of St Keverne. This is a great base for exploring the Lizard and walking the coast path. Please note that there is installed a coin-operated electric meter. We will pre-load £10. The rate is set at the rate we pay. During Spring/Autumn we offer minimum 3 night mid week stays; otherwise Saturday to Saturday.

We had the best week, great place to stay, nice & quite. The hosts were wonderful, came out to greet us & show us around the holiday let. We had everything we needed. Sainsburys & Tesco in Helston. Lovely walks & excellent coffee & cakes etc, in Coverack only a 15min walk down to the coast. Plenty of parking in Coverack if you dont want to walk. The views out to sea are amazingly.

Perfect location

We have just returned from this lovely bungalow & can’t wait to go back! Graham & Bette are wonderful hosts and their homemade chutney & jam delicious. The garden is a peaceful haven to enjoy. Plenty of walks - Coverack beach just down the hill with a lovely village & pub/hotel with a great beer garden over looking the sea.

A lovely place to stay

A beautiful, impeccably maintained little getaway, in a lovely location. The hosts are kindness personified, and made me feel totally welcome and at ease. There is everything that you could need at the cottage, and the welcoming home made, and truly delicious cake, and lovely bottle of chilled wine are the perfect prelude to a wonderful holiday. I highly recommend this beautiful little cottage.

I visit the place on my motorbike. The place was very clean and the owners, they are living next door, are very helpful and nice. If I have any questions they helped me out. Great place to stay. Nice area and the sea just a half mile away.

Lovely area to holiday in a place owned by nice people. Small house with pretty much what you need for a holiday base. Quiet location and rarely saw the owners. Check in and out very simple. We would have been happy to hoover up our own mess at the end!

So relaxing!

Both Graham and Betts met us on arrival and made us feel so welcome straight away. Such a nice, friendly and helpful couple. The accommodation was perfect for us, it has everything we needed. Both very knowledgeable about the area and only too happy to offer advice to help make our stay more enjoyable. The bed is so comfortable too after a hard day’s relaxing!!

This is our second time visiting this accommodation, which is lovely and clean and has everything required including access to the garden. Hosts Graham and Bette very welcoming. The location is excellent as a base for walking and visiting the local area and coves. We love sitting on Coverack harbour wall in the evening when the sun setting.

Pleasant stay in Coverack

This is the third place we have stayed at in Coverack and all have been very good. The cottage is spacious, peaceful and well equipped, with easy parking. We drove to and from the village centre as it’s quite a long walk along a busy road. But the property itself is set on a garden and very quiet. Graham and Betty were welcoming and helpful on arrival and we had no problems at all. Everything was as described. It was quite overcast during our stay so we only sat in the garden once but it would be delightful on a sunny day.

We were happy with the charming cottage and the seating area in the garden. Graham and Bette made us welcome and were friendly without intruding. We would certainly recommend the cottage but perhaps the uphill walk from Coverack should be mentioned although there is adequate parking near the beach.

Cosy Coverack Cottage

Had a brilliant stay. Bette and Graham are lovely friendly people. Had a few nice chats with them. Pity they don't live nearer as would like to have had an evening out, but 260 miles is a tad too far away. The Cottage is in a very tranquil location. Far enough from the road, to not hear any traffic. It had everything we needed for a week's holiday. Communication was very good before arrival and we had no trouble finding it. Would love to stay again sometime. Many thanks to the wonderful hosts

Overall we were happy with our stay. The weather unfortunately wasn't great. The property was in generally a good state. Painting seemed fairly recent. The bedding and towels were of a good quality. Everything that we needed was provided. Graham and Bette were friendly hosts. We had a couple of issues. The timer for the water heating didn't always work. Sometimes we had to switch it on before being able to shower. I did speak to Graham about it and I would imagine that he has rectified that now. Although the decoration was good we were disappointed that the shower had a lot of mould around the sealant. But the shower was large which you don't often get in small property. A useful addition could be a soap dish which would save bending down for the soap. The property was a shortish walk down the hill to Coverack and an energetic walk back up the hill. We found that it was worth venturing down to The Lifeboat House restaurant.

Ondanks een beleefd verzoek weigert de recensent uit te werken. Ik weerleg volledig de bewering dat het pand niet schoon was. Ik kan alleen maar speculeren over de motivatie van de recensent. Wat de meter betet - het staat duidelijk vermeld in de aanbieding en in een pre-stay e-mail.
