All I want for Christmas is a sea view

Cornish Cottages can make Christmas wishes come true with a wide selection of properties – sleeping four to eight - around the coast of the Lizard peninsula.

One of the smaller cottages is Poltesco (sleeps four, no children under 10 years) which not only boasts spectacular, uninterrupted views down to Poldhu Cove and the sea but is also set in two acres of grounds with access to the beach via a private gate.

A week’s rental starting 19 December is £681 including linen, electricity and heating.

For larger parties, Round Island is the biggest of six cottages which were built to house staff working at Lizard Lighthouse (which became fully automated in 1998). The fully refurbished properties have unrivalled access to breathtaking scenery and coastal walks from the door.

A week’s rental of Round Island, which sleeps eight in four bedrooms, is £828 for Christmas week.

With Christmas Day falling on a Friday this year, Cornish Cottages is able to offer flexible start dates for festive holidays.
