About this cottage rental
Coverack with its a wide sandy beach and quaint harbour is well worth a visit, or Roskilly’s Farm for a cream tea, but be sure to leave room to sample their locally made ice cream and fudge. The Lizard Peninsula is the perfect place to unwind, and here you can enjoy activities such as walking, bird watching, and fishing, or simply relax on the patio with a good book and watch the sun setting. The area will appeal to small families or couples all year round.
With great road access it is a perfect location for exploring slightly further afield including Porthleven, Praa Sands, the historic town of Helston, famous for its floral dance, Flambards Theme Park, The National Seal Sanctuary at Gweek and the beautiful scenery of the Helford River and creeks made famous by Daphne Du Maurier’s ’Frenchman’s Creek’. The area is popular with scuba divers with a local centre at Porthallow. Cycling, walking and horse riding are all available locally. Godrevy cove beach less than a mile. Shop, pubs and restaurant 500 yards.
If you look out to sea at low tide about a mile off shore is the Manacles Reef, many ships have met there end here in the past trying to get into Falmouth harbour during a storm, the SS Mohegan was the last major tragedy in 1898 a number of people on shore realised the ship was sailing full speed towards the reef, a coastguard even fired a warning rocket but it came too late, the great ship struck just as the passengers were sitting down to dinner she sank in less than 10 minutes 106 people were drowned. Most of the dead were buried in a mass grave in St Keverne churchyard.
Godrevy cove is the closest beach it's about a 15 minute walk.
