  • "A superb house with ample space, a wonderful position and beautiful gardens."

    We had a great week and would come back. The summary was inconsistent with the full description (2 king size). There were numerous animal hairs downstairs and the rugs were a trip hazard. The main freezer did not work, neither did the shower over the bath. The small oven did not work. Strong drains smell in twin shower room. There were only a couple of soap dispensers in the house, welcome packs were of limited value. These were irritating issues in an otherwise premium house.

    Thank you for your feedback Robin. Your comments will all be taken on board. The bath shower was broken the previous week but only identified on change over - it was fixed the following week. We have been aware of the freezer issue despite manufacturer coming out twice but we did put another freezer in the room. Rugs will be fastened tighter - the small oven does work but we will update instructions. Soap dispensers have now been put in all bathrooms. Property Owner

  • "The house was even better than we imagined and the photos on the website didn’t do it justice."

    We have already booked it again for next year

    That's wonderful to hear Barbara - you are correct on the website photos - we have done a lot of work landscaping the garden and indoors since the photos were initially taken - we will get them updated. Very pleased to have you return next year! Property Owner

    Lovely property only marred by the tumble my 21 year old took down the stairs onto the terrace on day 1 which left her with a broken heel for holiday and the next 6 weeks costing her all her summer work plans

    Very sorry to hear about the tumble your daughter had down the steps to the terrace and I hope she recovers soon. I'm pleased the property lived up to expectations otherwise Property Owner

  • "Fantastic position and facilities."

    Very spacious and everything you could possibly require. ....even an upright piano! The annexe was very comfortable with helpful aids in the shower room, however,it would be difficult for someone in a wheelchair to get in and out of the house. The side door in the kitchen is very difficult to lock and unlock. It took us a while to locate the cutlery drawer! These are minor issues in what was a great stay enjoyed by all the family.

    Thank you Sarah - agreed re wheel chair and will look into potential for a ramp to one of the french windows. Will put a sign up to say that the cutlery draw is a pull out from the top large draw opposite the sink. Really pleased you had a great time Property Owner

  • "Stayed in Penmarth House for a week from 29th April."

    We used to have family that lived in the next village so we knew the area very well. Absolutely loved the house. It had everything you might need to make your stay in this beautiful part of Cornwall really comfortable. The kitchen was so well equipped and was so lovely of the owners to leave a welcome pack. The grounds outside and the views from the property were amazing and the children in our party loved watching the rabbits bouncing around the lawns. The only gripe I had was the showers, the one in the main bedroom needs the fitting replaced as it was leaking from the top and the one in the small bedroom upstairs was really just trickling but this in no way detracted from our enjoyment of this beautiful house. Would definitely love to return.

    Thank you Noreen and really pleased you had an enjoyable stay. Noted on the shower and I have instructed this to be fixed ASAP. The only problem with the rabbits is that they are nibbling at the herb garden by the kitchen - hopefully that will soon be fenced off from them. I hope you can return again in the future Property Owner

  • "A beautifully placed house overlooking fantastic views, away from the hustle and bustle of towns and within easy reach of shops, pubs and restaurant."

    We loved watching the sunrise everday and enjoyed all the local walks a visit to Roskilly ice cream is a must! The house was very spacious and suited our large family perfectly with plenty of room to spread out. The games room is a good idea but did not get used because of going through a bedroom, however the board games provided were a superhit. The owners had provided a lovely welcome pack and any issues we had were very quickly resolved. Apart from a few pots and pans we had to clean before use and some rooms with poor shower force, we did have a great break. Thankyou for this pefectly placed house where we had a fantastic holiday. We will be revisiting it again.

    Thank you Urmila for the feedback. I was down this week with my family and you'll be pleased to know that we have made some enhancements this week including 1) New pipework upstairs that has increased shower pressure in the bathrooms 2) New paving down the side of the house to match the new patio at the front 3) Painting of the external eves 4) Some new pots and pans 5) a few more pictures for walls around the house. The summer season is just starting and fingers crossed for great weather! We also now have a connection to a local fisherman who can provide fresh fish (he usually goes out twice a week) and he will deliver to the house as soon as he has unloaded from Coverack harbour. I hope you will come back to Penmarth House soon! Property Owner

    The views are amazing, the house very spacious and well equipped and had everything we needed. Thank you so much to the owners for the arrival pack and the Christmas tree! We loved the position and the coastal walking and the local shop was very well stocked. We would definitely book again. Fabulous!

  • "We really enjoyed our stay!"

    The cottage was beautiful and spacious. The garden was huge and everywhere was clean and well kept. We love how close we were to the beach, we also enjoyed going to the bay hotel which is a short walk for a hot chocolate each evening ( and they made a huge fuss of the dog and kids there) only suggestion we could think of we would have preferred the pool table in the dining room with the fridge in. The children kept walking through one of the guests bedrooms to get to the pool table and could have been easier if it was in that room. Would definitely stay again,

    Thank you, Angela - I appreciate your feedback and a good idea in regards to the pool table! Will take a look when I'm down in two week's time and see what can be done. Best wishes Shaun Crawford Property Owner

  • "Wow! Penmarth House and it’s gardens are just fabulous."

    The views are stunning and the gardens match those. The house is perfect for large groups, stocked so well too. It could do with a proper clean but it didn’t spoil our holiday. Coverack village was great too, we visited the Paris Hotel - food was delicious. A stunning property that didn’t disappoint.

    Thank you Lou for your feedback and very pleased you had a great time. It would be very helpful to me if you could drop me a quick email to summarise what was not as clean as you expected. I can then advise the management company so we don't have this again We are making a number of enhancements outside (patio and lights) and inside (roof abd door insulation, curtain rails in dining room and extra power for all showers) over the next three weeks. Any other suggestions would also be very helpful. I hope we see you again in Penmarth House My email is shaun.crawford@btinternet.com Thank you again Property Owner

  • "Wow! I could never get tired of the view from this beautiful property."

    I spent most of my time looking out onto the harbour taking in the stunning scenery. The house was very clean and had every amenity you would have at home including 2 dishwashers and 2 washing machines! Very handy with such a large party. Coverack has a lovely harbour and we recommend the Paris Hotel for great meals and a pint. The paddle board and SUP hire shop were brilliantly helpful and we had a lovely few hours on the water. All in all it was a perfect holiday

    Thank you Claire and very pleased you enjoyed yourselves. We are investing in a number of enhancements to the property (inside and outside) over the next few weeks and I hope you can come down again Best wishes Shaun Property Owner

  • "Beautiful house with fantastic views."

    Accommodation spacious . We enjoyed our stay with family aged 9 to 87. We had an issue with the washing machine door would not open so our clothes were stuck for a couple of days . The freezer seemed not to work properly as items did not keep frozen , The small dishwasher door was very unstable . The gardener came on the Friday at 12 and stayed all afternoon. Given that you don’t get the property until 5 on Saturday I feel that it would be better if the gardener came on a Saturday. There were lots of cobwebs around the house and thick dust especially behind the door in the downstairs bedroom. It would be good to have an outdoor table and more than one tv in the house . The telescope was great and the air hockey enjoyed by everyone. Happy holidays !

  • "Well equipped and warm."

    Had a wonderful holiday. The views from the house are beautiful. A minor point if you have dogs - there is a little boggy area in the garden that was an issue as they made a bee line for it and got very muddy but I am guessing this is a winter issue only. Overall this house was fabulous with everything you need and if you like to cook whilst away as we do, it has all you need. Will definitely book this house again.

    Thank you Angela for the feedback. Yes I am aware of the boggy area which is a winter issue but we have worked out a way to put better draining in and ideally fill the pond at the very bottom. Hopefully when you come again, this will be sorted! Property Owner

The property

Resting in the small fishing village of Coverack is this large, traditional holiday home, Penmarth House.

With sweeping sea views and a beach nearby, Penmarth House is an excellent setting, located on the Lizard Peninsula, for a large group trip to this part of Cornwall.

You arrive at the property onto the private driveway which offers ample parking, and the sweeping sea views soon become breathtaking, whilst you can begin to enjoy the large garden that surrounds the property, with plenty of lawn for your furry friends to play, a patio boasting a barbecue and furniture for an evening of outdoor dining, and a wood store to get those internal woodburning stoves fired up.

You enter the property into a welcoming sitting room, with the added feature of a lovely piano and plenty of seating to enjoy a bit of evening television as the woodburning stove warms your toes.

Moving through, there is a spacious kitchen/diner, which also boasts a woodburning stove as well as a dining table for all guests to gather for an evening meal whilst they toast to a wonderful holiday.

The large property also boasts a second kitchen, so you can prepare a picnic for your day out or cook separate meals for those fussy eaters.

Next there is the cheerful snug room where guests can grab a little more privacy when you can't decide to watch on the television, or use this space to read a book as you wind down after a long day.

This grand holiday home also boasts ground-floor living, with a double bedroom complimented by a shower room.

To finish the ground-floor, there are two cloakrooms with WC's, and a utility with a large fridge/freezer for your self-catering essentials, which can also be entered from the garden and used as a boot room to leave any sandy coats or shoes.

Climbing upstairs there are four en-suite bedrooms; a king-size with amazing views, a double with quirky exposed bricks, a further double and a twin with a stunning feature fireplace.

The first-floor also has a window seat on the landing so you can really take time to admire the views, and a bathroom with a fancy roll-top bath for when guests need to relax their muscles.

There is an Outside tap, rinsing tub and covered hanging/drying area for wetsuits opposite beach room entrance.

The village of Coverack is often very peaceful with the sheltered beach being a great spot for swimming, windsurfing, and kayaking, and the local shops, pub and restaurants making for a charming evening out.

Penmarth House is resting on the Lizard Peninsula, just a short drive from Lizard Point, which offers stunning coves and beaches, rare geology and plants, wonderful sea views and windswept cliffs, and scenic walking trails along the South West Coast Path.

Nearby, the market town of Helston is home to the exciting Flambards Theme Park and is known for its known for its Flora Day Festival, whilst in Gweek you can enjoy the Cornish Seal Sanctuary.

For a spectacular day out, head to Falmouth to admire the bustling marina, learn something new at one of the interesting museums or discover the shoreside Pendennis Castle.

To get the best out of Cornwall, from exploring The Lizard Peninsula to the lovely seaside town of Falmouth, choose Penmarth House as your base.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
