Property details

This is a journey worth making. Heading down to England’s most southerly point you begin to sense the sea on all sides around you and even more so when you take the lane to Bass Point Cottage. Breathtaking views of the sea appear as you drive along the edge of the cliffs making this a very special holiday house. And then you arrive! This Cornish cottage has just been refurbished with a lot of input and love from the owners who have known the cottage since their childhood holidays and now want to share their experiences. From the cottage you can walk easily to The Lizard village and amazing beaches at Kynance and Housel Bay. Situated on the coastal path, you can watch the sea in all its moods and on a clear night the moon and stars make a wonderful backdrop. This truly is an idyllic location based in an area of outstanding natural beauty and surrounded by a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The cottage will suit walkers, bird watchers and nature lovers – or those who wish to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of being next to the sea.

We had a wonderful stay at Bass Point Cottage and booked to return while only on the third day of our original stay. The location and views are incredible and the cottage warm and very comfortable. October had been very wet in advance of our stay and a 4x4 really was needed for access to avoid getting stranded in the mud through the farm (as was apparent in the property description) but this really was a fantastic place to stay!

The location of Bass Point Cottage was everything we had hoped for - just wonderful! It would take a long time to get bored with watching the seagulls diving for their supper or spotting the mackerel shoals from the comfort of your deckchair. Inside, the cottage was perfectly clean and comfortable, with a very well equipped kitchen and beautiful bathroom. All in all, we cannot fault it and would very much like to return. We look forward to being back with you next year.
