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 suggesting otherwise. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness that is consistently met.
The location is highly praised for its peace, quiet, and proximity to local attractions and dog-friendly beaches. The natural beauty of the surrounding area and the private setting are frequently mentioned as highlights.
Guests generally find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a well-appointed kitchen and comfortable bedding. However, a few guests mentioned that the heating system and mattress could be improved, slightly lowering the score.
While the cottage is appreciated for its well-equipped kitchen and secure garden, some guests noted issues with appliances and general maintenance. The lack of Wi-Fi is seen as a positive by some and a drawback by others.
Several guests were delighted by the thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers, champagne, and even a decorated Christmas tree. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed.
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 dog thought the garden and the fields were great fun and views were so lovely especially sitting on the benches for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Justin introduced himself to us on the first night and he was so helpful about the area. Will definitely visit again.

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
