“We thought from the details that the cottage would be closer to the village, within close walking distance, but we actually preferred to be more remote - safer - and we were closer to the beaches, so turned out even better.”

- Mrs Clark, September 2020
“Had a lovely week at Penrose Cottage.”

We have two secondary school aged kids who can walk a bit further now and we like to be away from the crowds but close enough to have enough to do. So Penrose was just perfect. It’s quite a large cottage for 4 people with four bedrooms (we didn’t use one of the bedrooms). The rooms are a good size. Bedrooms are all of a decent size with comfortable beds (it was hard to get the kids up in the morning!). The living room on the second level to get the sea view is especially comfortable and we spent most of our time there when in the house. The kitchen is not massive but was fine for us and is next to the dining room so they work together. There is a 10 minutes walk to the beach which we walked every day. There is next to no parking in the village so few people travel in and we had the beach almost to ourselves each day (in August). There are lovely walks from the house in either direction particularly along the coastal path. Many ice creams from Roskillys, trips to Coverack for kayaking, little cafes to stop in, rocks to climb and bbqs on the beach. We only got in our car twice in a week; once to shop at Tescos in Helston and secondly to walk the coastal path around Lizard Point. There is a garden at the back on two levels; a lower little one with a garden table and chairs, and an upper grassy area which could be used for ball games. But we didn’t use them much and there were lots of other things to do. There is off-road parking as well for one car (not sure if you could get two in?). Overall, Penrose was perfect for us and we would definitely stay again.

“The cottage is very spacious, well furnished and equipped.”

Everything you need is here. Enclosed garden great for the dogs, but also sitting out and eating al fresco. Parking facilities for the car were excellent too! 2 beaches close by and walking distance (10-15 mins) which were never over busy, even during August!! Local pubs and cafes in St Keverne area serve good food. Ideal location for away from it all with excellent coastal walks on the doorstep.

- Mrs Brislen, August 2020
“So quiet and relaxing.”

Beautiful views of the sea and fields from the front of the property. Spacious and well equipped. Within walking distance to a quiet beach and coastal footpath. 15 minute walk to 2 lovely village pubs, village shops and a cafe. Garden was full of flowers. Comfy beds. So peaceful sitting in the smaller, walled secluded garden by the property and the upper garden accessed by a few steps was large and backed on to farmland. Just what we needed after spending months in the house during lockdown. The only negative is the lack of mobile phone signal but the wifi signal is strong and there is a pay phone in the house that accepts incoming calls so we were not completely cut off from the world!

- Mrs Greasley, July 2020
“Just that we had a good time, weather was kind, and the cottage was warm , comfy and cosy, no complaints.”

Thank you

- Mrs Durham, December 2019
“Lovely very clean cottage.”

Quiet location.Jenny and her husband very friendly and helpful. Lovely touch fresh flowers in each room as well as wine and nibbles to greet us. Would certainly recomend thiscottage and hope to return again soon.

- Mrs Schulz, September 2019
“Three generations enjoyed a great week at Penrose Farm Cottage.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a great position for exploring the Lizard peninsula. We enjoyed a meal at The Three Tuns in St Keverne, as well as walking to Roskilly's for ice cream. The wonderful Godrevy Cove was a treat, we even saw a seal on our last day.

- Ms Read, August 2019
“Lovely cottage but could do with an update, Neighbor not happy about parking even though we were careful to stay in designated spaces.”

Had a wonderful holiday and would definitely use Sykes again. Cakes and wine left on the first day was much appreciated.

- Mr Barton, August 2019
“The cottage is beautiful, the location too.”

We were so impressed with the welcome cakes and wine - so very thoughtful. Jenny and Pete, the housekeepers were extremely helpful, knowledgable nothing was too much trouble. They explained the walks in great detail, as we were with two sets of elderly parents , in fact one celebrated their 80th birthday whilst we were on holiday. Every room in the cottage was so homely and the kitchen was so very well equipped. I would think the cottage will certainly be on our wish list to return in the future. To summarise, Wonderful, loved it.

- Mr Reed, June 2019
“Lovely idyllic location.”

- Mr Rich, May 2019
“This is our second visit to this cottage and it didn’t fail to live up to our expectations.”

Spacious with fantastic views to Godrevy Cove and the sea beyond. In a wonderfully quiet location with immediate access to fantastic walks whether along the coast, to the village of St Keverne or Roskilly duck ponds! We’ll be back

- Mr Voisin, May 2019

The property

This attractive 18th Century cottage stands in the delightful and secluded hamlet of Rosenithon with excellent sea views overlooking the infamous Manacles Reef where ship wrecks still crowd the seabed.

Walk a short distance down the footpath to the hidden Godrevy Cove which nestles below Godrevy Point within this amazing coastline. St Keverne is half a mile away with its picturesque village square, shops, Post Office, a good restaurant, two friendly inns.

Boating and diving facilities are available locally.

The valley of the River Helford, with numerous inlets and creeks, evokes a time-stopping ambiance and is ideal for those who enjoy boating or canoeing.

Flambards Theme Park and Poldark Mine are both within easy driving distance.

There is something for all ages on the Lizard Peninsula, renowned for its quaint and pretty villages, including the fishing cove at Cadgwith and other tranquil bays with stunning beaches of white sand and turquoise seas, and secret caves.

The Coastal Footpath passes the cottage and other footpaths are nearby covering long stretches of rugged scenery. Penrose Farm Cottage combines spacious accommodation and light bright decor with original features, including an ancient inglenook fireplace (not in operation) and ceiling beams in the separate dining room.

The sitting room on the first floor is comfortable and welcoming with sea view beyond and ideal for relaxation after a fun day spent exploring.

With a downstairs study for correspondence, reading or just peace and quiet, there is space for all the family.

The garden is on two levels with an attractive sheltered patio - perfect for alfresco dining or sitting with a chilled drink - and a large raised lawn which backs onto green farmland.

About the location

ST KEVERNE

Helston 12 miles.

On the eastern side of The Lizard Peninsula, the pretty village of St Keverne, lying just 1.25 miles inland, is the focal point for this area, with its village pubs and shops surrounding the village square, and an impressive church spire, at one time used to guide the Cornish fishermen home. From St Keverne, you can easily explore the natural and spectacular beauty of the Lizard Peninsula by car, bicycle or on foot. You will find walled fishing harbours, tiny secret coves, sandy bays and dramatic clifftop walks along the South West Coastal path. Just north is the Helford River, a yachtsman's dream and home to Frenchman's Creek, and picturesque Helford village. A short walk takes you to Roskilly’s Farm, where you can tuck in to ice cream to die for. Further afield, visit Falmouth, with one of the world's largest natural harbours, Pendennis Castle built by Henry VIII, and of course you cannot miss out on a trip to The National Maritime Museum.

Note: Steep, narrow stairs to Second Floor. Note: Can accommodate 7 guests on request.
