Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, with only a single review mentioning a musky smell in the bedroom. The positive remarks about the property's cleanliness far outweigh the isolated negative comment.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to dog-friendly beaches, and accessibility to nearby attractions. The scenic walks and wildlife opportunities contribute to the high rating.
Guests generally find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a well-appointed kitchen and comfortable bedding. However, a few guests mentioned issues with the mattress and seating, slightly impacting the comfort score.
Facilities are deemed adequate by most, with special mentions of the secure garden and walking fields. Criticisms include outdated heating and some kitchenware issues, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance.
Several guests were delighted by the thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers and a bottle of wine upon arrival. While these gestures are appreciated, it is noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Higher Lampra is a romantic country retreat, tucked away amidst 14 acres of beautiful grounds in the superb Lizard Peninsula countryside, less than two miles from the coast. Detached and delightful, the interior is perfect for couples seeking an almost hideaway escape. The cottage is charming, with a sitting area complete with a woodburner for extra warmth - a relaxing spot on the sofa during winter breaks. There is a table for two, plus separate kitchen, with a quirky feature of shower area at the far end. The lower-ground-floor hosts the pretty bedroom, a haven of country comforts, guaranteeing tranquil slumber with en-suite WC and wash basin. Set in this peaceful idyll, the cottage is reached along a private driveway with ample parking and an enclosed garden to keep pets safe and secure. For rambles and rural exploration, venture through the 14 acres of fields and woodland or pack a hamper with bubbly for a picnic aside the stream or pond, amidst the wildlife and birdsong. Explore the attractions on the Lizard Peninsula, with a myriad of charismatic fishing villages, beautiful coves and beaches all within easy reach. Enjoy spectacular seascapes which can be spied from the coast path or visit the working harbour of Mullion Cove, steeped in smuggling history. Coverack and Cadgwith are divine coves and beautiful Kynance Cove is simply stunning with dramatic cliffs and sheltered beach. Mullion has a host of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants, craft shops and art galleries reached within a few minutes’ drive, and the ancient market town of Helston, famed for The Floral Dance, is less than 4 miles away.

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

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.

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.
