LOCATION Rose Cottage is located in a small hamlet within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with footpaths nearby providing breathtaking coastal and countryside walks, with nearby landmarks including Kennack Sands, Godrevy, Lizard Point and Lizard Head and lighthouse, Porthoustock, Manacle Point, the charming harbourside village of Coverack (approximately ½ a mile away) and the slightly larger town of St Keverne (approximately 2 miles away). Both of these two offer a good range of day to day amenities whilst the nearby well served market town of Helston has an excellent range of shops, supermarkets, a cottage hospital and schools. The Lizard Peninsula is recognised internationally for its unspoilt scenery, with magnificent sailing on the tree lined creeks of the Helford River to the north and the more rugged coastline around the end of the Lizard Peninsula and along its southern and western shorelines where many pretty coves can be found. The blooming port of Falmouth and the cathedral city of Truro can both be reached within an approximate 45 minute drive, the latter having a mainline rail link to London Paddington where the journey time is approximately 4½ hours. This is a much loved and exceptionally unspoilt part of South Cornwall, offering awe inspiring cliff top walks along the Cornish coastal path to idyllic sandy beaches, smaller coves, unspoilt countryside and verdant wooded valleys and glades. It is an area of Cornwall largely untouched by the passage of time with much of the countryside and coastline owned by the National Trust and, as aforementioned, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
