Description from owner

Description

Little Gwendreath Holiday Cottages is a collection of four, two-bedroom cottages based on Cornwall's beautiful Lizard Peninsula. Each cottage has a main bedroom with a double bed and a second bedroom with either twin single beds or these can be joined together to make a super king. Please let us know which set up you would prefer. The living room in each cottage is equipped with a day bed that can convert to a king size sofa bed. Pets are welcome at an extra £30 each per booking. If you will be bringing an electric vehicle please let us know the make, model and battery capacity as charges may apply. We operate a three night minimum stay, excluding summer school holidays when we only offer Saturday to Saturday stays.

Our location is remote enough to be peaceful, but close enough to Cornwall's larger attractions to be a great base for trips out. Largely unspoilt, people come to the Lizard to see its dramatic scenery, sandy beaches and rugged natural landscapes. The Guardian recently described it as 'almost impossibly pretty'.

To the east of our site is a small stream and path that leads down to the beach at Kennack Sands which is divided into two beaches by Carn Kennack (a small hill). There are two cafe's next to the beach and you can also learn to surf at Kennack Sands Surf School. The east beach is dog friendly all year round.

The area surrounding Little Gwendreath is a national nature reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, complete with rare wildlife species and spectacular scenery. On clear nights the Milky Way can be seen. There are many rewarding walks near us, not least the South West Coast Path which passes by Kennack Sands.

Our cottages are quiet, cosy and offer authentic Cornish holidays with nature at the heart. We are very conscious that everything we do has an impact and we want to tread as lightly as we can. We are passionate about reducing our footprint and inspiring our guests to minimise the impact of their stay. We try to show that 'going green' does not mean compromise and guests can rest assured that just by staying at Little Gwendreath, they are helping to protect the environment they are here to enjoy.

“Perfect peaceful location.”

Reviewed 9 May 2021

Cottage 2 at Little Gwendreath. Just what we were looking for. It has a small enclosed garden which was ideal as we had our two dogs staying with us. The cottage has everything we needed. Steve and Sarah live close by and were on hand if we needed anything. (But we didn't need to bother them) everything was fine. You pass Goonhilly Downs on the way to the cottage which is a sight to be seen. The Lizard is spectacular. Recommended.

“Lovely Cottage”

Reviewed 23 Apr 2019

Most welcoming owners and cottage off the beaten track. Nice and quiet, with a wooded 10 to 15 minute walk to the beach. Ideal base for a walking holiday, with plenty of public footpaths. Perfect for those days out in Cornwall, from here it is a short distance to places such as Lizard Point, The chocolate factory in Mullion and even the supermarkets in Helston. The gardens at Trebah are quite beautiful and further afield are places such as Tintagel Castle, Newquay and Padstow. A Great Place for a holiday in Cornwall.

“Lovely Easter Break”

Reviewed 3 Apr 2018

The accommodation was clean, bright and well looked after. The owners are lovely. welcomed us when we arrived and showed us where everything was. They even organised an Easter egg hunt which my children loved. The property is in a quiet location but really convenient for visiting the local area especially Helston, Penzance, and the local beaches. We love the area and stay at least once a year so if this accommodation is available next time we are looking to stay we will definitely rebook.

“Comfy Cottage”

Reviewed 19 Feb 2018

We booked this cottage in January after deciding to take a short break to the Lizard Peninsular. The booking was easy and correspondence from the owner was excellent. On arrival at the cottage we received tea and coffee as well as scones and cream. The location was perfect for exploring the area either walking or by car. As we had 2 dogs with us it was ideal as there was a short walk down to Kennack Sands beach. We will definitely be visiting again; hopefully for a short summer break. Thank you.
