Sunny Corner Self Catering Holiday Cottage on the Lizard in Cornwall.
Sunny Corner situated close to a quiet secluded sandy beach which is just a short walk through the countryside. The property is only a short distance away from the heart of St Keverne with its lovely village square, church, two pubs, butchers and shop. It is located on the beautiful Lizard Peninsula, which is the most south-westerly point in England. Sunny Corner is the ideal place to stay if you enjoy walking, as the South West Coastal Path is just at the bottom of the fields giving way to many stunning walks. The picturesque fishing villages of Coverack, Cadgwith, Porthallow and Mullion are all close by. Cadgwith is like stepping back in time with thatched cottages and colourful fishing boats, a great place to source fresh fish or crab for your evening meal and there are even regular sea shanty sing along evenings. Walk the thick stone wall at Mullion harbour featured in the TV series ’Poldark’, or visit the chocolate factory and visitors centre. Coverack with its a wide sandy beach and quaint harbour is well worth a visit, or Roskilly’s Farm for a cream tea, but be sure to leave room to sample their locally made ice cream and fudge. The Lizard Peninsula is the perfect place to unwind, and here you can enjoy activities such as walking, bird watching, and fishing, or simply relax on the patio with a good book and watch the sun setting. The area will appeal to small families or couples all year round. With great road access it is a perfect location for exploring slightly further afield including Porthleven, Praa Sands, the historic town of Helston, famous for its floral dance, Flambards Theme Park, The National Seal Sanctuary at Gweek and the beautiful scenery of the Helford River and creeks made famous by Daphne Du Maurier’s ’Frenchman’s Creek’. The area is popular with scuba divers with a local centre at Porthallow. Cycling, walking and horse riding are all available locally. Godrevy cove beach less than a mile. Shop, pubs and restaurant 500 yards.
If you look out to sea at low tide about a mile off shore is the Manacles Reef, many ships have met there end here in the past trying to get into Falmouth harbour during a storm, the SS Mohegan was the last major tragedy in 1898 a number of people on shore realised the ship was sailing full speed towards the reef, a coastguard even fired a warning rocket but it came too late, the great ship struck just as the passengers were sitting down to dinner she sank in less than 10 minutes 106 people were drowned. Most of the dead were buried in a mass grave in St Keverne churchyard. Godrevy cove is the closest beach it's about a 15 minute walk.

An absolute pleasure to stay in this property. Hosts were always available to answer any questions, property was spotless on arrival. Can not recommend this property enough, will be booking again for next year.
The place was brilliant the hosts Sue and Chris couldn't be more helpful the location was excellent for walking and getting to places plus the added bonus of two pubs and a spar shop less than 10 minutes walk away.
We are so grateful for Chris and Sue for treating us so kindly. They made sure we were comfortable and recommended us many beautiful places to visit nearby. Lovely, clean cottage, great view. Quiet, relaxing place.
The cottage is a lovely place with good equipment. The owners are very nice and helpfull. The beaches and landscapes nearby are pleasant and worth to have a visit or a walk. Driving might be difficult for the roads are verry narrow.
I had a great time at Sunny Corner!
Second time we have stayed here, absolutely brilliant. The place is spotless, great location and the hosts are amazing as always. Will be coming every year!
Really enjoyed our stay at this very clean, comfortable property. Owners Chris and Sue are friendly and helpful. We liked the horses and the carp. Well located for beaches and countryside, 5 mins walk from local shops and pubs in st keverne.
Absolutely amazing, Chris and Sue lovely hosts full of local information! Accommodation is spotless, super quiet, lovely walks, views , beach!! Not enough stars! Thanks Amelia, Gavin and Darcy
Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, die Wohnung war überwälltigend schön und sauber sowie mit allen was man für einen schönen Urlaub benötigt ausgestattet.
Der Parkplatz war unmittelbar vor der Einganstür auf den großzügigen Grundstück.
Und von der Umgebung kann man nur sagen "Traumhaft".
Very spacious, clean, comfortable. It had everything I could need. Just outside St Keverne it was peaceful and quiet with two horses in the adjoining field. My hosts were very friendly and chatty and gave me lots of information about the local area.
Sunny Corner is a fantastic little property. My wife and my Daughter had a lovely stay in a beautiful part of Cornwall with stunning views and walks. Chris the owner is always around should you need anything or local advice / Knowledge will be staying there again
Chris and Sue were very welcoming even before we had arrived. Chris responded to all questions I had beforehand, and was very helpful. When we met them, they were the loveliest hosts ever. We felt safe and well taken care of. Very clean place too. We will be back :)
