The Barstow family have moved to Bath but have retained their cottage on the Lizard.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Lizard is an ideal base to visit some of Cornwall's famous gardens or to walk the Coastal Path.

We now have a second self catering cottage at St Just-in-Roseland.

 
 
 
 
 

Sailing in Carrick roads, from either St Just or St Mawes, fishing, golf, riding, tennis and river trips are all available locally.

We are only a short drive (4 miles) from Carne and Pendower Beaches. These beautiful beaches join at low tide to give a mile long stretch of golden sand. Or you may just want to scramble down the cliff to find perfect peace in your own private cove.

The Roseland Peninsula is often at its best outside the summer period especially in Spring when Camellias and spring flowers are at their most spectacular. Nearby are Eden, Heligan, Caerhays Trewithin, Trelissick but Cornwall has over 70 spectacular gardens, we are within ¾ an hours drive of most of them.

St. Mawes with its harbour and castle, the tiny fishing village of Portloe, the famous creek side church of St.Just-in-Roseland are within 10 minutes by car; the City of Truro with its beautiful cathedral is only 13 miles away. A plethora of National Trust Houses- Cotele, Lanhydrock, St.Michael's Mount, and Trerice to name but a few; Land's End, Tintagel, Padstow, the Tate and the Hepworth galleries at St. Ives, the Minack open air theatre, are all within an hour's drive.

Spring comes early in the Roseland, daffodils in January followed by the primroses, bluebells and wild garlic, the hedgerows and cliff walks abound with wild flowers. In autumn and winter, the beaches are deserted and roads and footpaths quiet. Walk the coastal path from Crugsillick or meander along country lanes or creekside footpaths. You can always find perfect peace even in the height of Summer.
