Warm welcome, spotlessly clean, well appointed, beautiful linen, comfortable bed, thoughtful touches and we would go again thank you.

Also our dog was made welcome too.

Lovely cottage in beautiful peaceful surroundings.

Cottage is comfortable with everything you need. Very private and not overlooked at all. Large secure garden was perfect for us with our spaniel who enjoyed watching the rabbits and pheasants through the fence! We made use of the attached fields for an early morning stroll too. Easy access to nearby beaches and coves, lots of great walking. Owner is very friendly, thanks for the bubbles!

Lovely idyllic spot with fantastic surroundings.

Really attentive host on hand for any queries.Thank you Justin for a great stay at your cottage

What a gem of a property!

The location is ideal to explore the lizard with many beaches and coves nearby to explore. It’s just a short walk into Mullion for a sneaky pub meal and a pint or two! The property itself is spotless Justin is a great host and very knowledgeable of the area. It has a nice enclosed garden for the dogs and 14 acres of fields to explore filled with wildlife, lots of pheasants and rabbits and a friendly little stoat if you’re lucky to see him! But it’s the peace and tranquility of the property that really makes it, I don’t think we’ve ever been so relaxed on holiday it’s a perfect spot to unwind and really relax. Thank you Justin for a wonderful week. We would love to stay again in the future!

Higher Lampra is a charming cottage, secluded and nestled in beautiful countryside .

The cottage is small but ideal for a couple . The garden is beautifully set out and is secure for pets. It is comfortably and tastefully furnished and it was a pleasure to stay in. The location near to the attractive village of Mullion gives access to a useful range of shops and pubs. It is within easy reach of many interesting beaches and coves. The owners who lived close by were helpful and friendly whilst respecting our privacy as guests. Andrew and Polly . April 2025

Fabulous cottage in rural setting, bird song abounds.

Easy access to The Lizard coves, and into Helston for Lands End/Penzance/St Ives (use park and ride from St Erth) Cottage warm and comfortable. Bedroom downstairs with comfy double bed. Friendly helpful owner Justin is close by if needed. Highly recommend.

We loved staying at Higher Lampra.

We were very warm and comfortable, the cottage is spotless and well equipped for all your needs. The private garden was totally secure, great for our dog to wander without fear of escape. She also loved walking round the surrounding fields in the evening. The valley is full of birds and so peaceful, it’s a truly a lovely place. Only 5 mins from Mullion & the nearest beaches, with lots of places for good food and drink & a well stocked Co-op in the village. Our host was very welcoming and happy to share some tips & recommendations. Great place to stay and explore a lovely part of dog friendly Cornwall.

Lovely comfortable cottage in a wonderful location.

Only slight criticism is that the carpets need refreshing and the shower didn’t stay hot for long. Overall a lovely holiday in a beautiful area.

Our stay was amazing Justin the owner is superb, the place it self is outstanding, truly felt like home, also the bonus was the field that our dog absolutely loved, we would go first thing in the morning and when we got back in the evening, it was like a little piece of heaven, truly did not want to leave.

Thank you to Justin,we truly loved it

A very nice owner, lovely cottage in a wonderfully quiet spot.

Very nice for the dogs who could run freely in the nearby area. Recommended, we enjoyed it!

Water turned off every night No hand rail on rear steps No washing machine

Beautiful cottage, very peaceful & tranquil location, high end quality of bedding & towels everything immaculately presented.

Justin the owner welcomes you on first day of arrival very friendly & informative regarding the local area. Definitely looking to return in the near future. Michael & Clay.

We had a great time at Higher Lampra The location really suited us quiet and tranquil.

Our dog thought the garden and the fields were great fun and views were so lovely especially sitting on the benches for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Justin introduced himself to us on the first night and he was so helpful about the area. Will definitely visit again.

The cottage is in a lovely, peaceful setting, with an enclosed garden that was great for our dog.

Having access to the fields near by was really good too. The cottage was very comfortable, and Justin very helpful with any queries that we had. We'd definitely return.

What a cute little house!

Our landlord Justin was also very nice and gave us good tips. and the dogs loved the fenced in yard. Everything you need is available in the house and there is also WiFi. Lots of nature, lots of peace and quiet and the beaches and harbors are just a stone's throw away

We had a lovely stay at beautiful Higher Lampra.

A perfect tranquil place, comfortable and within easy reach of everywhere we wanted to visit. We have dogs and the cottage had land we could walk the dogs on which was an added bonus. Thank you to Justin for providing such a wonderful holiday let, we would definitely stay here again.

Had a great time.

Justin was lovely and great to talk to.Fantastic setting, really lovely place to stay. It was so quiet and great to get away from home. The only thing missing was a visitors book, where folks who have stayed leave comments. Usually very good for suggestions as to where to go. Cottage was nice and cosy, just great for our much needed get away.

Lovely cottage, well equipped and comfortable Ideal for dogs as enclosed garden and walks from the door Thanks Justin

As always, a fantastic stay would love to come back every week.

Didn't want to Leave We will definitely be coming back again

Lovely property.

Very quiet. Dog walkers paradise. Area beautiful and plenty of walks. Local pub the old inn. Very friendly Cottage very warm and lovely large tv Host Jason was very nice. Flowers and fizz on arrival. Lovely touch

We had a great time, a real getaway from it all.

Mattress could be updated but as it is would not stop us rebooking as it was such a relaxing place, warm and easy.

We have just stayed at the cottage Oct 2023.

The cottage is quirky but very nice, we met justin and he welcomed us and our yappy pooches, he gave us some useful info on local facilities. The garden is secure and large dogs loved it, we had the fields around the cottage to walk on, quite honestly it was perfect for us. You will enjoy your stay.

A wonderful cottage set in beautiful gardens and stunning views.

We loved walking our dog in the evenings as the sun was setting. Very peaceful, all the comfort we needed and a great location for exploring the Lizard. Would highly recommend.

Very Friendly and helpful owner.

Location was excellent especially for our dog walking. Fantastic wild fields adjacent to property which had mowed pathways and picnic areas around the perimeters. Great idea.

The host was very friendly and helpful.

If you're looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful setting then look no further. Perfect get away. Perfect for your dog . Perfect little cottage.

Lovelly comfortable cosy cottage in rural setting.

Good location to explore The Lizard and only 30mins from St Erth for park and ride to St Ives. Enjoyed coastal walk Pendhu Cove to Mullion Cove. Friendly and helpful host Justin. Thank you for welcome of fresh flowers and bottle of wine. We shall be returning.

The property was very nicely looked after, lovely and clean and well stocked with kitchen utensils etc.

Bed was lovely and comfortable. The property was in a lovely position and had large lake close by. Very peaceful - Just what we needed. Would recommend it to anyone looking for this kind of property. Thank you Justin for the flowers and bottle of wine - a lovely thought.

We loved staying at Higher Lampra.

Delightfully peaceful in a woodland setting. Amazing for our two dogs who loved the opportunity to exercise in the 14 acres of grounds. The cottage itself is arranged upside down with good sized lounge and bedroom. Easy access via Mullion to Poldhu beach and others on the Lizard. Thank you so much Justin for your hospitality. We will be back soon!

Lovely cottage.

Ideal for dogs . Wonderful dog friendly beaches and excellent pubs nearby. Natives very friendly and helpful.

Lovely quiet cottage with fantastic outside space for the dogs to roam and not be worried about as 100% secure.

Will be visiting again in the future!

We spent a week at Higher Lampra and it couldn't have been more enjoyable.

The property is a cosy, well maintained, sweet little cottage. It's 'hideaway' setting was perfect for privacy but within walking distance of the lovely Mullion village. With a car all attractions, beaches were accessible with the property providing a tranquil setting to relax after a full day. The setting is lovely with fields and a small lake perfect for walking our dog and the property has the bonus of a secure dog-friendly garden. The host, Justin was really friendly and helpful. We had a little problem with the shower unit and Justin quickly sourced and fitted a new one while we were out that day. He was great. We would strongly recommend Higher Lampra and would visit again.

It was a fantastic cottage, in a ideal, remote setting.

It had all the home comforts, no Wi-Fi which was refreshing. Recommend

Lovely cottage, well equipped for a holiday.

The grounds are dog friendly and safe. There are 3 fields you can walk around next to the cottage with benches to sit and watch the wildlife. There is lots of walks around. Some of the beaches close to dogs 1st July, but there is many dog beaches available.

We have stayed here before, a number of years ago, and were pleased to find the property was as we remembered it.

Clean, bright and comfortable and superbly quiet. The garden was smaller and more shady but secure for the dog. The owner, Justin, was lovely, approachable and keen to know if all was well. We enjoyed our stay.

Cottage is situated in a very quiet situation well away from roads.

There is plenty of walking available in fields around it and down to small lakes in the owner's grounds. A good place to escape to but also easy to get to villages/walks nearby. Only thing missing at well equipped cottage was outside table - but owner aware of this but unable to get one due to shortage! Enjoyed our stay in perfect weather!

Absolute gem of a property.

Set in the country private and spacious. Beautifully laid out with everything you need. Comfortable and homely. The space around us was lovely for us and our dogs and we including them were made very welcome by Justin the owner. Would recommend without hesitation.

If you like to get away from everything, and immerse yourself in the countryside, enjoying the fabulous walks around the cottage, in surrounding fields/woodland,and the spectacular coastlines, a short drive away,this is defo the place and location for you!

The cottage is quirky, sleeping downstairs and living/eating upstairs... super comfy bed and it is so quiet there - absolutely guaranteed good nights sleep. Justin is very personable and welcoming - and ensured we had everything we needed.. couldn’t do enough to assist! Carole and David

To be honest, after reading a review posted a week or two before our arrival, we did wonder what we would find.

As is usual, during our research when booking a holiday we had scrutinised the photos on Sykes' website and thought we had a fair idea of what to expect. We are glad to report there are no hidden horrors and all was as expected. After driving along a woodland drive carpeted with bluebells, red campion, cow parsley and so much more, we found the property set in a secluded corner of the 14 acre estate (which has mown paths around the field edges and pond for you to wander and explore - great for a dog walk in the evening after a day out). It was beautifully warm, clean and comfortable. It suited us and our dog perfectly. The whole area is criss-crossed with ancient public footpaths which lead to little villages and coast paths. There is a lovely track which starts just down the hill (to the right) from the property which will take you to Mullion village (c 1 mile). It was the perfect property for our break and without doubt we would go again. (PS. Perhaps if the author of the rotten review had researched he would have found fewer 'surprises' and maybe consider his manners and address petty issues direct with the host) "

We had a very relaxing time at Higher Lampra.

.. beautiful old upside down cottage set in tranquil, private surroundings. It was lovely coming back to it after a trip out and driving down the lane with stunning wildflower hedgerows. The cottage is warm and cosy, nicely furnished and with great views of the surrounding countryside. Although small, the kitchen is well appointed which was important for us as the evenings were too cold to sit outside at a restaurant so we self-catered. Lots of information is supplied for trips out and a selection of videos for evenings in.The cottage is nicely placed for exploring the tip of Cornwall and also has lots of public footpaths around it if you don't feel like getting in your car. The family who run it are very friendly and keen to make sure everything is as you want it. It really felt like home for two weeks, we didn't want to leave and we would love to go back sometime.

We have stayed at numerous properties and this could be the worst.

On our first evening the TV failed with a bang. Richard was really helpful and arranged for a replacement. No problem there but many issues with fitments and general presentation of the property. The main door is weak and an intruder could easily gain access. Very poor security. Two bathrooms are listed. The downstairs has a hand basin and toilet. Carpeted floor with no pedestal mat. Not hygienic. The upstairs shower is desperately small and barely adequate. Heating is by night storage heaters. These are rusty and in generally poor condition. Not a good way to heat a property, particularly at this time of year when temperatures varied from quite hot to cold. All electrical appliances have inspection dates of 2017 and are cheap quality. The kettle, for instance, only worked at times if the switch was held down. Some of the plates were chipped. Cutlery was limited. A poor selection of ill sorted items. Only four table knives for instance. Certain items missing, such as a fish slice. Old cracked non stick coated frypan. Generally poorly equipped. Table too small to spread a newspaper. Two very rickety chairs. Lighting too dim to read by. No surface to put anything down other than window sills. A coffee table would have helped considerably. Little storage space in the bedroom. Two small bedside cabinets. A small desk with three drawers. A small child sized wardrobe. All looked like random charity shop purchases. No 'welcome pack' with details of nearest doctors, refuse arrangements and so on. Some of the equipment leaflets applied to items which were no longer there. Overall, very disappointing and we were pleased to be able to leave. The low rating in the recommending category is down to the almost unreadable booking details. Certainly a format that does not work with Apple computers.

A lovely cottage for a relaxing break.

We had a great time at Higher Lampra.

The cottage is tucked three hundred metres away from Chythons Road and is accessed via a private drive. It was very clean and well fitted out and suited us down to the ground. It is close to some lovely nascent wild flower meadows (great for our dog) but best of all are the two lakes which are beautifully landscaped and havens for wildlife (I saw kingfishers every day). Justin, the owner, was very friendly and has done a tremendous job in restoring the grounds. It was a real pleasure to both swim and boat the lake after a day's hiking the SWCP. It's a great location to explore the Lizard and beyond and the dark skies at night were perfect for stargazing and comet hunting.

The owner justin greeted us on arrival and we entered the cottage to find fresh flowers, champagne,and a decorated Christmas tree and so lovely and warm .

Our dog milo loved ths enclosed garden and fields to run in the cottage had everything we needed to cook our Christmas dinner and justin even rang us to see if we had all we needed on Christmas day .Even dog biscuits and towels supplied all in all a super place to spend Christmas close to mullion and the coast highly recommended

The cottage is very well stocked, there was everything there that we needed.

Bedding and towels were very good quality and the bed and sofa very comfortable. Loved lighting the log burner of an evening, the cottage was always nice and warm. Our dogs loved the freedom of the owners fields which were well maintained with a cut path and nicely placed picnic tables. We had a very relaxing stay in a lovely setting.

Lovely Cottage, with a great Host.

Tea and Mineral water were a welcome treat.( in the Cottage on our arrival) as were the 2 vases of flowers . Very nice cottage, in a well maintained private garden which has many lovely plants and flowers , with 14 acres to explore too !!. nice base to explore the Lizard. Very quiet spot too, Justin and Tony ( the dog) are very Friendly, and made us feel at home. Exploring the Lizard is a great holiday, and we took a trip to Land's End to see a Sunset too. Would recommend to anyone. We will go again..

Nice location and good for dogs.

30 minutes brisk walk to nearest pub in Mullion via road or tracks. Bedroom and it’s furniture has musky background smell.

Beautiful surroundings at higher lampra, and the cottage had everything we needed and more, the bed was extremely comfortable and we feel very rested after our stay!

We will definitely be returning, our two dogs also loved it and with so much land surrounding the cottage including an enclosed garden it was also safe and dog friendly for them too! Thankyou very much

Every thing was very good, lovely cottage and enjoyed staying there, the only drawback was the track getting to the cottage from the road, which was very bumpy and full of pot holes and the signage at the entrance which was hidden with overgrown weeds, but could not speak highly enough about the cottage itself.

This is a fabulous spot to stay.

..the extra service by the owners was really appreciated. Great attention to details on linen and towels. Great for walking and cycling and the dogs were really happy. Excellent location for many of the National Trust sites too

Perfect cottage within a perfect location!

Both ourselves and for our two small dogs. Justin was the perfect host and we cannot say thank you enough for our perfect holiday!
