Beautiful week's holiday for our family of 5. Loved the open plan kitchen. Beds very comfortable. Our daughters found the loft room lovely and airy. Manaccan village is very quiet, one pub, no stores and narrow roads a little too busy to be able to safely walk about, especially on dog walks. Helford is so lovely and just a 5 min drive across the waRead morey, so we tended to spend our morning walks there and for evening drinks. Cottage in a good accessible location for all villages. We love Cadgwith and Coverack. Been holidaying in Cornwall for 20 years since our first daughter born, so have lots of photos of our 3 girls at various ages around this gorgeous part of the country.

Our family had a very lovely week in Manaccan in this cosy and warm cottage, where we immediately felt welcome like a second home. We are very grateful to our hosts for this very beautiful place! We enjoyed a lot discovering the Lizard and Penwith peninsulas and their rich natural and historic heritage full of treasures, even away from the tourisRead moretic spots. In particular, we enjoyed walking on the coastal path from Church Cove to Kynance Cove or from Lands End to Sennen Cove; finding the stones circles of Merry Maidens and Boscawen-Un and the ancient sites of Boleig Pipers, Lanyon Quoit and Men-an-Tol, visiting Glendurgan Garden and Geevor tin mine (which we particularly recommend!) and watching the Regatta in Helford where the strong local community bonds were very visible. We wish the next visitors the same happy experience here as we have had! Hide
