A wonderful magical place

A beautiful setting deep in the countryside - deeply peaceful and with wonderful views. We found the walk down to the cove quite strenuous but not long and well worth the effort - a beautiful cove! And many other places to visit nearby. There is a spiral staircase which was no problem at all to us - just need to ensure those staying are able bodied - could be a problem with babies, young children and those with disabilities. But a lovely well kept cottage, clean and everything working!

A magical, peaceful stay

From the moment we arrived at Mount Earl, we fell in love! The cottage was impeccably clean, every little detail had been thought about, comfy beds, lovely owners and beautiful surroundings! The surroundings of this property are amazing, it’s so peaceful. We walked down towards the cove on the first evening, the walk was so beautiful. Sue and Mike couldn’t of been friendlier or any more helpful, thank you so much! We can’t recommend this property enough if you want peace and quiet, stunning surroundings and accommodation that makes you feel like you’re at home!

About the host

Hosted by Sue Willis

My husband and I moved to Cornwall in 1999 and have been renting Mount Earl as a holiday let since 2001.

We enjoy an outdoor lifestyle on the beautiful Lizard peninsula. We make the most of the wild rugged costal path walks..the lovely unspoilt beaches. Mike particularly enjoys exploring the remote coves on his Kayak and the occasional fishing trip.

We have many guests returning to Mount Earl and we have made lots of good friends over the years.

Why they chose this property

We immediately fell in love with the cottage and its location in an area of outstanding natural beauty close to the costal path and sea.

What makes this property unique

Mount Earl is situated a quarter of a mile from the nearest public lane, offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion.Set within 32 acres of private woodland/heath nature lovers can enjoy the unusual flora and fauna.
Recently, the woodland has revealed the ruins of an ancient mill close to the pretty Downas stream.It is only a 20 minute rugged walk to an unspoilt secluded cove where seals and basking sharks have been spotted. The south west coast path is close by, incorporating the breathtaking vantage point of Black Head and far reaching views towards England's most southerly point.
The pretty fishing village of Coverack is approx. 2 miles away, where there is a lovely sandy beach, village shops, cafes and pub serving local seafood.
