Modern dog-friendly apartment less than half a mile from the unspoilt beach of Kennack Sands on the Lizard. This is a smart retreat for those that wish to discover a quiet corner of Cornwall. Kennack Sands is home to a sandy beach with seasonal surf school, a beach goods shop and lifeguard coverage throughout the warmer months. Follow the South West Path to Coverack or the historic ruins at Poltesco with your intrepid dog.

 

The layout of the apartment is a pleasing mix of modernity and convenience. On arrival you will encounter first encounter the spacious open-plan lounge / diner / kitchen with its huge sofa and TV to curl up in front of after an active day exploring The Lizard. There is a fully-equipped kitchen containing handy conveniences to make your self-catering stay more comfortable. Set apart from the living area are two restful bedrooms – a super-king size with an en-suite shower room with WC and a second bedroom is a twin (a zip and link bed that can be made into a super-king-size on request). Nearby you will also find the main bathroom containing a shower over the bath.

This property offers access to a shared lawn and patio area, although the beautiful beach is just a few minutes’ walk away down the hill. Let your dog lead the way as it’s a great place for them to play in the shallows and sniff at the rock pools. There is one parking space at the property for your car, but you are in walking distance to the local restaurants which open for the summer only.

 

Kennack Sands is tucked away at the southern end of the Lizard Peninsula, close to Goonhilly Downs and Lizard Point (which is the most southerly point of the British mainland). The beaches at Kennack Sands are wild and hemmed in by hills and cliffs. At low tide the beach becomes one but when the sea comes in you can walk to the further beach over the top of a small hill that commands great views. Be sure to take a stroll along the promenade in Coverack and enjoy a friendly lunch at the village pub. The Lizard is full of secret spots to seek out with your dog.

Lovely spacious apartment with high quality furnishings and decor. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and with everything you could possibly need during your stay. A lovely rural location just 15 minutes walk to a nice beach with cafe. We really didnt want to leave!

We loved this accommodation and the beds were comfy. We noticed the floor was a little grubby and some of kitchen ware had not been cleaned thoroughly. However we were informed that new staff had been organised. We liked it very much and will come again. The seating did not feel suitable for our backs . Great location and an apartment lift for tireRead mored legs! Good instructions from owner who responded pleasantly and helpfully to a query. Thank you Hide

Beautiful is the best word to describe the flat and it's location. There was allocated parking space behind. Entry via stairs but elevator available for any one needing it. The flat was immaculately clean, with everything thing you could possibly need in the kitchen. The beds were sooo comfortable. It was a very short walk to the beach, the scenic Read moreroute through the nature reserve takes longer but was so worth it. The beach ( Kennack sands ) was lovely. Not too crowded, with toilets and parking. Hide
