    Serpentine is a converted barn set high above Cadgwith Cove with sweeping views out to sea. One of five simple holiday cottages, guests at Serpentine will be pleased to see the property includes a cosy wood burning stove, making it a warm retreat from the elements. It has its own enclosed garden where the trees open out to provide views of the ocean.  

    Step out into your own private garden and take in the view overlooking the cove. Below, the tiny fishing village is strewn with relics from the past; pilchard cellars, winches and an old lifeboat house. Enjoy a drink at the friendly local pub where, on a Friday evening, you’ll hear traditional Cornish singing. 

    Explore further along the Lizard Peninsula. The southernmost point on the UK mainland, the area boasts breath-taking coastal walks, hidden villages and miles of winding lanes to explore.
