Property Location

There are heather covered moors unique to the area with autumn also a great time of year to visit and many open gardens and National Trust areas, pretty harbour lights at Christmas, friendly pubs and good, fresh, local food (several restaurants are Michelin recommended)! There are loads more places to visit on the Lizard and highlights include walks along the coastal path and cliffs, the famous Victorian holiday destination of Kynance Cove with the beautiful rare Serpentine rocks and cafe, a visit to Trelowarren Estate, and the fascinating Goonhilly Earth Station and its Segway course. Flambards is great for the kids and you can step into Cornwall's mining heritage at the Poldark Mine.
Mullion is the largest village situated on the Lizard Peninsula and boasts a number of quality pubs, cafes and restaurants among it's various attractions. Four beaches – the towering cliffs of Mullion Cove- a fishing harbour, Poldhu Cove with café (and Marconi Centre), isolated Polhurrian Cove and amazing Church Cove - are conveniently nearby and easy access to the South West Coastal Path offers visitors the chance to explore the beautiful surrounding cliff scenery. The coastal path goes to the miles of sand at Loe Bar and Pool (Cornwall’s largest lake and wildlife haven) and on to the Penrose parkland.
?There are so many activities to choose from locally. You can take a boat trip across the beautiful Helford River and explore the gardens at Trebah. There are sea fishing trips from Porthleven and beach fishing from Loe Bar. There is great diving on the Manacles from Porthkerris and coasteering is available for the really adventurous. The Lizard is home to the Cornish Chough if you like a spot of bird-watching. The coastline has many pretty coves and beaches to discover, but you can find great surf at Porthleven and Poldhu. Canoeing and bard surfing are popular on the protected Eastern shores

Beautiful spot, beautiful cottage!
Reviewed on 22/10/2020During these difficult times, we were all a little concerned as to how our staycation would pan out, but it was wonderful! The house is in a beautifully quiet spot, near Port Hallow. The pub is in walking distance, as long as you don't mind unlit, single track road -we didn't! The food and service at The Five Pilchards was brilliant. If you want peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings, with a little bit of luxury, this is the house to stay in. We would certainly return, and have no reservations in recommending this lovely house.

Lovely Barn Conversion
Reviewed on 14/10/2020Great stay in a good location. The house had almost everything we needed, with the exception of a microwave. Would stay again.
John Slade : owner replied:
I am pleased they had a great stay. It is a shame about the Microwave though they should have contacted me (or read the oven instructions)
all my larger barns have expensive sophisticated Neff Microwaves/Oven/Grill combo units to supplement the normal Neff ovens!

Stunning views
Reviewed on 19/08/2020A beautiful conversion with stunning views in a very quiet location. Some nice walks very close by including the south west coastal path. Pub located just a short walk away. That all said it is a little on the expensive side and although Covid has made cleaning a focus, there was very little in the way of cleaning products left in the property, also there were areas that could have been cleaned better (cobwebs in most bedrooms rooms and a sticky table in the kitchen) but generally very well maintained and I would be happy to book again.

Roskorwell Paradise!
Reviewed on 16/10/2019A beautiful location and a stunning barn conversion - kitchen was especially nice, very well equipped with a gorgeous view towards the sea. We were there in the autumn and could sit in the kitchen and watch the sun come up, very tranquil way to start the day... We will definitely be returning!

Overjoyed with our stay at Manor Farmhouse
Reviewed on 05/10/2019The family and I stayed at Manor Farmhouse for a 60th birthday celebration. The house itself is simply incredible, with all of the latest appliances and a very generous and thoughtful welcome pack, to help you get settled in. The rooms are spotless, large and have underfloor heating throughout which was a total luxury. The hot tub had the most fantastic views. We cannot wait to return, even looked to come back for Christmas! Book, and you wonA?t be disappointed. Only thing I would suggest is take note of the location; you are a driving distance away from most places in access of 30 minutes+. Not a problem for us being used to living in the middle of nowhere! The visit from the housekeeper was helpful, and lovely to think she was available if we needed her for anything, Thank you for a great stay.

Could not have asked for better for a family members 70th!!
Reviewed on 14/09/20198 of us visited Manor Farmhouse for a 70th Birthday celebration. We couldn't have found a better property or location. The property was fabulous with outstanding views. If you do want to leave the glorious views and luxury of the property there are many areas to visit within a short drive. We didn't want to go home.

Fabulous Week at Manor Farmhouse
Reviewed on 02/09/2019Overall this is a truly fabulous property. Set in a very quiet location with easy access to cliff top walks, the property has everything that you could possibly wish for. All rooms are spacious and equipped/furnished to a high standard. Was perfect for a large family (and dog!) with the outside space proving perfect for both eating and playing with the dog.

Family celebration
Reviewed on 30/05/2019This is a beautiful property and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a complete escape from all noise and distraction. A bit off the beaten track though so those lanes are not for the light hearted. The farmhouse itself, having been renovated a number of years ago, was done to the highest of standards, shower rooms, kitchen (every imaginable utensil you could wish for) and the sitting room upstairs with itA?s comfortable sofas. All very homely with nice touches everywhere, pictures, ornaments. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics which was nice. Views magnificent and summer house was such a lovely place to sit with a book and a glass of wine. Hot tub went down well with our young adults. Early morning was the best when the sun came up, watching the rabbits, fox, birds. Just peace and quiet and you could even hear the insects! We were blessed with good weather which was a bonus. As previous guests have said, would be nice if the garden was dog proof, given they allow dogs in this wonderful property, but given the views were so nice, we were happy to accompany our dog around the garden. We rarely go back to the same property again but would certainly think about Manor Farmhouse if we had another family holiday to Cornwall.

Didn't want to leave!
Reviewed on 22/05/2019Four of us arrived on the Friday afternoon having found it up beautifully narrow & steep roads. We were overjoyed to see the gorgeous building, the beautiful grounds & the stunning view. The house was beautifully appointed, the workmanship was second to none. Everything you could want was in the kitchen, just like a home from home, probably better! The lounge was stunning & all the bedrooms were beautiful & comfortable with lovely bed linen. The underfloor heating in the bathrooms was lovely. Sadly we were only there for a week this year but we really didnt want to leave. Possibly the only downside was that it was about a 20 - 30 minute drive to get anywhere but for us that wasn't a problem. Can't wait to go back!

A great property
Reviewed on 14/11/2018A lovely property - spacious and well furnishing. Really nice bathrooms. Everything was lovely and clean. The kitchen had loads of storage and plenty of room in the big fridge freezer. It is quite remote in that there is not a supermarket close by, but I took all the food we needed so that was not an issue for us. Loved the summer house - when it was sunny it was so nice to sit in it and enjoy the great coastal view. The Jacuzzi was a treat - very special.

Great week away
Reviewed on 23/08/2018The instructions meant the house was easy to find and we were delighted with the standard and comfort provided. The location provides fantastic views and a short walk provides easy access to the coastal path and excellent pub in Porthalllow. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the quiet position of the house allowed for undisturbed sleep. An excellent hot tub helped to erase the aches and strains of the day. Only minor drawback was that despite being pet pet friendly the garden is not fully enclosed. Would certainly recommend.

Fantastic cottage and setting with amazing views
Reviewed on 14/07/2018Lovely cottage, very well done up to high standards. Fantastic kitchen/diner, shame the spacious and lovely sitting room is upstairs as just ends up getting used less. We were very lucky with superb sunny weather so spent most of the time outside or in kitchen/dining area with patio doors open. Dog friendly, however would have preferred the garden fencing to fully block the driveway side. Short walk to a lovely dog-friendly beach. Personally we liked the private/secluded location and don't mind the steep narrow lanes, but would have been nice to have a slightly more generous welcome pack even if it means a top up to the cost, as it adds to the comfort given the location.

Idilic week away
Reviewed on 04/07/2018This property is a little gem. Fairly remote with wonderful ever changing views of the sea. It was clean, well equipped and comfortable. We were a party of 3 generations plus pooch. We relaxed, had plenty of space to play and had lots of fun with the board games in the lounge. The house keeper was friendly and sorted out a bbq for us nothing it seemed was too much trouble. The hot tub was a welcome bonus and enjoyed by us all. The only fault was that we werenA?t staying another week! We would definitely stay again. Plenty of walks locally, local pub was great, make sure you book a table it gets busy. We did find beaches restricting, only a few allow dogs, seems local Cornish folk also feel the same way... it didnA?t prevent us getting out and about though. A wonderful stay with many memories made.

Fantastic hideaway - peace, quiet and luxury
Reviewed on 06/06/2018We enjoyed a fantastic weeksA? escape here in May 2018 - truly in the middle of nowhere which for us was a good thing - no car noise, no city noise - just peace and quiet and great skies at night as well. Ideally situated for most things in the south west - porthleven was about. 30 minute drive for us most days and offers a number of excellent dining options and views. The owners take pride in this house, no expense has been spared - and the hot tub completes the picture Enjoy!!
