Holiday Cottages in The Lizard, Lizard Peninsula

Lizard village sits close to the southern tip of the Lizard Peninsula, surrounded by some of Cornwall's most spectacular coastal scenery. Centred around a traditional village green, it offers a welcoming mix of shops, pubs, cafés and local craft businesses, making it an excellent base for exploring this beautiful part of Cornwall.

The village is particularly known for its connection with serpentine, a distinctive local stone traditionally used to make ornaments and decorative items. Visitors can still find examples of this craftsmanship in local workshops and shops, alongside other independent businesses around the village.

A short walk from the village leads to Lizard Point, the most southerly point of mainland Britain. Here, dramatic cliffs, the historic Lizard Lighthouse and the old lifeboat station provide a memorable setting for coastal walks and sightseeing. The surrounding headlands are also excellent places to spot seabirds, seals and, with a little luck, the distinctive red-billed Cornish chough.

The South West Coast Path offers wonderful walking in both directions, with routes towards Housel Bay and picturesque Church Cove, as well as longer, more challenging walks along the rugged coastline to Kynance Cove. The scenery is particularly colourful in spring and early summer, when wildflowers brighten the cliffs and surrounding heathland.

With its village amenities, fascinating local heritage and exceptional coastal scenery, Lizard is a wonderful location for a holiday on Cornwall's southernmost peninsula. Explore our selection of holiday cottages in Lizard village and the surrounding area.
