Pentira
Description
Nestled into the coastal village of Kuggar, Pentira is a wonderful property ideal for a group of friends or a family looking to explore the Lizard Heritage Coast of Cornwall.
Be welcomed into a large characterful property and make yourself at home in one of the two lovely sitting rooms, each an ideal spot to catch up on a good book with a coffee, with one of the sitting rooms housing the welcoming glow of a woodburning stove.
When mealtimes call, a kitchen with a delightful countryside feel caters to your culinary needs, and guests can enjoy a heart-warming meal in the dining room whilst the handy utility takes care of your muddy boots.
When sleep calls, choose between five beautifully presented bedrooms, each with their own character and charm, including two double rooms, two double zip/link rooms which can be set up as a twin on request, and a bunk room, serviced by a bathroom, shower room and cloakroom.
The beautiful exterior of the property is complemented by a picturesque front and rear enclosed garden with mature shrubs and a wildlife pond, so why not dine alfresco as your four-legged family member reclines beside you in the sunshine?
Pentira rests in the coastal village of Kuggar.
Kuggar houses a local shop where guests can stock up on essentials and a local pub, The Potters Bar.
The town is close to Kennack Sands beach, an ideal spot for sunbathing, trying out watersports and enjoying a paddle in the waves, and here you will also find a beach café.
There are many stunning coastal walks which make the most of the dramatic scenery of the Lizard Heritage Coast, passing through locations such as Downas Cove, the National Trust’s Old Serpentine Works, Bass Point and Housel Bay Beach.
Nearby you’ll also find Mullion Golf Course which is set spectacularly on the cliff tops of the Lizard Peninsula in one of the most beautiful locations in England.
Take a stroll through the Bonython Estate Gardens or enjoy the artwork at Terence Coventry Sculpture Park.

What guests are saying
We had a lovely holiday in Pentira.
We were blessed with fabulous weather. The location is great. You can walk to Kennack Sands in 10 mins. Quite a bonus ! It's a large house with loads of room for 10 people. 2 bathrooms with excellent showers, a bath as well which is needed for small kids. We liked the 2 sitting rooms also. The kitchen is quirky but we'll equipped except for no bread bin. Great kitchen knives too. Wi-Fi excellent throughout the house. Nice welcome pack was much appreciated especially the cake and the wonderful Cornish cheddar. Lovely host as well who was helpful and understanding. Sally will know what I mean. It's an old house and you have to be prepared for that but it in no way diminished it as a good place to stay.
If you are looking for a large, authentically Cornish home, this is the Property for you.
We were welcomed by the owner Sally who was accommodating and approachable. She had kindly baked us a cake and bought several locally sourced items for us to enjoy, which was lovely. The house is old but beautiful with tones of character. We stayed during a heatwave and the house stayed nice and cool. The garden is large, wild and full of plants, making it ideal for hanging out in with children. We would recommend and will hopefully stay again in the future.
So upon arriving at the house we were 10 minutes early (3pm) arrival but no one there so entered via instructions house obviously had very clever lighting to take photos as it was very dark and gloomy and smelt damp.
The owner turned up said she had only arrived there herself at one to do changeover and I immediately thought how can you clean this house to a standard in two hours? And said we arrived to early not a very warm welcome! I requested stair gate high chair and travel cot non of these things were put out or up and were told they were in a cupboard if all the pieces were there! My husband had to erect the stair gates and no there were pieces missing again not a great start! Three of the bedroom had damp bedding on them and we had to air the whole house and try and dry the bedding very smelly and unpleasant. Electrics I’m not sure they reach any standard with old baker style light switches and plug sockets hanging off the wall in the main bedroom. Heating controls were individual and controlled in every room hardly any worked as they all needed new batteries. The light in the twin room did not work at all. Not enough towels left for every guest. Only a bench type seat and table to relax on in the garden. Garden very full so not a lot of room. Back garden so over grown couldn’t use. Not enough recycling bins available. Hedge at fron where you need to park cars overgrown and you had to put your car into the hedge. A tumble dryer is really needed in the property as drying clothes (in typical English weather) was a nightmare and impossible. Dining room smelt very damp. A cupboard where the owners kept there things was unlocked and such a mess and door would not stay closed. The gaps in the stair bannisters were not the legal gap and we were constantly on edge with the toddler who could fit through them. The cake and milk etc was a nice touch. Good location even if the neighbours were not the friendliest. All in all very disappointed in the property and certainly was not a cheap option will not be returning.
