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 cottage with great views
Cottage was lovely. Loved the welcome pack of the essentials tea coffee milk and of course wine! This was our second stay. Whilst the location is slightly further out the rural aspect is peaceful and the cliff top views are lovely with great beach and sheltered sea for the dog to swim in. Fabulous stay. We would go back again.

The housekeeper was very helpful, nothing was too much trouble Really lovely cottage, very quiet, just slightly time consuming driving anywhere as it was in the middle of no where so took a bit of time to get the main road but it is the Lizard afterall... really enjoyed our stay there

Wonderful cottage in a peaceful, rural location
We had a wonderful stay at Manor Fletching at the beginning of May. The cottage was so clean and tidy when we arrived, along with a lovely welcome tray and flowers which was really appreciated. We loved the location of the cottage, yes it is out of the way and you do have to go down some fairly narrow/windy lanes to get there but we are not bothered by this and like to be away from it all. Had lovely day trips to the Lizard, Falmouth, Marazion and St Ives. The cottage itself was extremely well equipped with (nearly) everything you could need, including spoons for our toddler! A highchair and cot was provided for us and everything was in excellent condition. I really don't have any faults or negative aspects with the cottage - the only thing I would suggest is perhaps some form of shower shelf or unit to put shampoo bottles on - it was a bit awkward only being able to put everything on the floor. We had a bit of a problem with the dog staying in the cottage next door, as the gaps in the fence are quite large we kept finding their dog had come into our garden. Not a problem for us as we like dogs, but maybe not something which everyone would like. We definitely would stay here again and would highly recommend.

Ein Ausgangspunkt für viele Unternehmungen
Von diesem Punkt aus kann man tA?glich die Umgebung erkunden. Wanderung, kleine StA?dte besuchen. Und abends zurA 1/4 ck romantisch am Feuer sitzen oder in den hot Tube zu steigen.

Exactly what we were looking for
Amazing property with everything we needed. Location was idyllic just maybe a little out of the way but that was part of it's charm. It was clean, comfortable and the hot tub and grounds were great. Fantastic place for the dogs we all had a great time

A truly brilliant holiday cottage, in a beautiful setting and garden area
The cottage is very well equipped and exceptionally clean and ready for occupation. The living area is large and comfortable, with the kitchen area being spotless. Bedrooms (2) have great mattresses, and are roomy and bright. The wet-room is well designed with both a bath & shower. The garden is secluded, with a hot-tub, barbecue, table and chairs Within a 15 minute walk along the cliff path, one enters the quaint village of Porthallow, with a shingle beach and a homely pub which is dog-friendly Altogether ... a brilliant place to spend a holiday. Within easy reach are some stunning walks and beaches, as well as some great eating places

Fantastic cottage
We had a lovely stay in Manor Fletching. When it snowed. We stayed in, lit the fire and cooked dinner! The cottage is finished to a very high standard and has everything you could need. It was spotlessly clean. The bathroom is very luxurious with a walk in shower and slipper bath. Hot tub was brilliant to relax in after a long day of walking. The location is rural so great if you want to get away but facilities and the beaches are all within a short drive. We were sad to leave and hope to return again in the future.

Beautifully converted barn, has everything you would ever need. Nice and warm in the winter (we missed the underfloor heating when we got home!) Absolutely perfect in every way apart from you canA?t see the sea from inside the cottage, however you canA?t have everything! And itA?s not very far away!!!!
