“The cottage was just as seen - so just right.”

Lucy and Roger were really helpful - and generous with lovely hand wash etc (and a bottle of prosecco in the fridge). It is in a wonderful location and great to have such easy parking (we normally take a trailer with kayaks.)

“The cottage at Halzephron is a peaceful retreat towards the end of a no through road leading down to the sea.”

Comfortable and stylish, surrounded by wild flower meadows, sea and sky. The beach is a 5 minute walk along the coast path from the garden, the excellent Halzephron Inn is the same 5 minute walk away. Excellent coastal walks from the door, great restauarants all around at Porthleven and Falmouth. Nothing much could beat the view of the sea from the cottage; the dog loved it and so did we.

“We are disappointed in Sykes and the rating system, 4 star is shoddy, and would advise anyone to reconsider if booking any cottage with less than 4 stars on the Sykes rating system.”

I have a number of issues that I feel need to be addressed from cleanliness to safety!! I have a dog , I booked the cottage on the understanding that it had a secure garden, which it hasn’t. Halzephron would not have been short listed as it didn’t meet the basic requirements needed for a dog owner. Could you please forward me your complaints procedure., so I can provide you with in-depth Information on our stay. I am sure you would want to follow this up,for all future clients of Sykes cottages, as well as for our satisfaction. Look forward to your reply .

“Halzephone Cottage has been everything promised and more.”

In a beautiful spot with wonderful views and excellent access to the coastal paths. We brought our dog with us and, with plenty of beaches allowing dogs (the closest 5 minutes walk away) she has been able to enjoy everything with us. The cottage itself is very spacious. As it was a little wet and chilly when we first arrived we lit the log fire and immediately felt that we were in a wonderful place. Halzephron Cottage is well appointed and very cosy on cold days whilst being bright and airy on warmer days. The views are amazing. We would strongly recommend this cottage if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing time with easy access to all that Cornwall has to offer. We have already booked for next year.

The property

A rustic character cottage situated just outside the idyllic village of Gunwalloe, adjoining the magnificent Halzephron House on the stunning Lizard Peninsula.

The cottage enjoys a spectacular cliff top setting with amazing uninterrupted ocean views, making it suitable for families or groups of friends.

Arriving at the cottage you will be amazed on entering with the size and spacious accommodation defying its appearance.

Walking through the well-equipped kitchen and dining area takes you through to the cosy sitting room with the woodburning stove, adding to the character, making it perfect for those winter evenings after a bracing walk along the coastal path.

There are three bedrooms, a double and a bunk bedroom on the ground floor and a galleried twin bedroom with a porthole window to relax and just enjoy the stunning views on the first floor.

There are two gardens to enjoy outside, a small area to the front and a large lawned garden to the side where you can find a quiet spot to read a book, sunbathe or simply gaze out to sea.

A firepit to keep you warm throughout the evening and a barbecue for alfresco dining adds to the wonderful atmosphere of the property.

Guests also have access to the owner’s wildflower meadow with an amphitheatre where incredible views of the sunset can be admired.

Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice here with Fishing Cove, Dollar Cove and Church Cove, three leading Poldark locations, both being a short walk away.

Also within walking distance is the local golf course set on the stunning coast.

The Helford River offers a variety of activities and is very popular with garden enthusiasts, sailors, birdwatchers and fans of watersports.

You are also a very short stroll away from one of the most historic and famous inns in Cornwall, the 500 year old Halzephron Inn where a warm welcome is guaranteed with the award-winning restaurant utilising the freshest local food and serving local ales in the bar to enjoy a drink after a day on the beach, or even a cream tea, perfect on a sunny afternoon.

You will understand why this wonderful pub has been voted one of the UK's best pubs by the AA.

Further afield, you can take a visit to Mullion, which is home to a selection of popular restaurants, shops and pubs.

Why not visit the Mullion Meadows Chocolate Factory or Mullion Cove which is a pretty working harbour?

Alternatively, for a day out, you can also visit Helston, a pleasant, busy market town which is famous for its Flora Day Festival as well as the Helston Folk Museum.

All in all, Halzephron Cottage offers beautiful accommodation in a stunning location and guarantees a special holiday whatever time of year that will be remembered forever.
