One of four tastefully converted holiday cottages, set amongst the magnificent grounds of a 23 acre country house estate with it's own lavender fields. Woodpeckers Cottage is within a short drive of spectacular beaches and coves and forms the perfect base from which to explore all the Lizard Peninsula has to offer. In this rural location the night skies are abundant with stars to see on a clear night and perfect for stargazers.

Head towards the coast where the nearest beach is Poldhu Cove and it's lovely cafe. Visit traditional Cornish villages such as Mullion, Porthleven and Coverack, all just a short drive away. The South West Coast path can be joined direct from the property as it goes around the grounds and up the drive! Attractions in the area include The Minack Theatre, National Seal Sanctuary and the Tate Gallery at St Ives, to name just a few.
