A picture of County Cottage

County Cottage is a recently renovated 300-year-old dwelling on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, providing Bed & Breakfast accommodation. The Cottage is nestled in its own 1¾ acres or land which includes a stream, orchard, well established private garden and ample on-site parking.

Lying in the heart of the Lizard Peninsula, County Cottage is approximately one mile from the Goonhilly Earth Station and 10 minutes from the historic town of Helston, famous for its annual floral day celebrations. Thus all Lizard beaches, coves, harbours, the South West Coastal Path and its main attractions are easily accessible, most being no more than 4-5 miles away.

The Lizard Peninsula, designated an area of outstanding natural beauty is the perfect location for walkers of all abilities and stamina, cyclists, bird-watchers, anglers, horse-riders and even for those who prefer a more relaxed time merely sampling the wonderful Cornish fayre on offer in the many local public inns, restaurants and cafes.
