Named after the lighthouse on the Lizard Peninsula, this beautiful abode sleeps up to six guests and is perfectly placed for saltwater adventures. In the heart of Harlyn Bay with the beach almost on the doorstep, there’s no better location to take in the fresh Cornish air and glimpses of the sea.
On summer days, enjoy serene coastal surroundings from the first floor lounge, as the afternoon sun streams in through the gable windows. On colder nights, cosy around the wood burner and relax with a movie on the Smart TV or games on the Playstation 4.
Cook up a family feast in the bright and spacious kitchen before indulging in a hearty homemade meal around the dining table. Retire with the taste of sea air on your lips to luxurious bedrooms set over two floors.
The master bedroom boasts an elevated position and an impressive en-suite shower room, whilst the two additional bedrooms benefit from the use of the family bathroom, with a bath tub and overhead shower.
Spend your days mastering the surf at the beach just minutes away, or head over to Padstow to explore the Camel Trail. If walking is in order, pick up the South West Coast Path from Harlyn Bay, heading north east towards Trevone or south west towards Constantine Bay, the perfect way to explore this historical stretch of coastline.
Head back to Lizard and hang up your wetsuits or shake off your wellies in the spacious utility room. The wet room is perfectly placed just next door for washing away excess sand.
For large group stays, Lizard is also available to book alongside its neighbouring properties Longships and Wolf Rock, each sleeping six guests just moments from the sea.

Local Area
Harlyn Bay
Beaches and watersports
Extremely popular for surfing, the family friendly beach at Harlyn Bay is a haven for watersports enthusiasts of all abilities. Take to the waves with SUP or coasteering sessions with the fantastic team at Harlyn Surf School or explore a little further afield with a walk around the Seven Bays. Other nearby beaches include the sheltered cove of Trevone and the surrounding sandy bays of Constantine, Treyarnon and Porthcothan. Slightly further afield in Polzeath you can find George's Surf School. Led by experienced tutors, they offer both private and immersive lessons for surfers of all abilities.
Food and drink
Holidays here aren't complete without lunch or dinner at The Pig, which serves a great range of dishes from its 25-mile menu, sourced within the South West. Five minutes outside of Harlyn Bay is Rafferty’s – a great lunchtime spot for tapas and light bites. While just down the road in Padstow, you’ll find Paul Ainsworth’s Number 6 and the lovely St Petroc’s Bistro. Rick Stein’s Padstow Seafood School will teach you how to forage for your supper, while exploring the world of Cornish wines at Camel Valley or Trevibban Mill comes highly recommended for finding your new favourite tipple. There’s a tempting array of local pubs nearby too, including The Cornish Arms in St Merryn.
Outdoor pursuits
Walkers should join the coast path from Harlyn Bay Beach and head north east towards Trevone. If you’re feeling adventurous, continue to Bedruthan Steps before retreating to Carnewas Tearooms for a jam-first cream tea. Stepper Point near Padstow affords spectacular coastal views, with the nearby Doom Bar and Camel Estuary well worth a visit too. Harlyn is surrounded by great golf courses, from Trevose nearby to St Enodoc less than 30 minutes away. For cyclists, the Camel Trail is a flat 18 mile stretch with The Snail’s Pace Café (perfect for lunch) halfway.
Activities for children
A real children’s playground, Harlyn and its surrounding areas have plenty to keep little ones entertained. Pull on your wellies and set off for a day out at Dairyland Farm World, let the kids run riot at Camel Creek Adventure Park or take to the seas and embrace the Cornish outdoors with a wildlife safari. With St Eval go-karting tracks nearby, and zip wire experiences for the thrill-seekers, you’ll never run out of entertaining options.
Time for pampering
Only a short drive away, you’ll find the award-winning Cowshed Spa in Trebetherick. Enjoy a glass of champagne as you indulge in the exclusive beauty treatments, tried and tested at Babington House in Somerset. The renowned Scarlet Spa sits further along the coast in Mawgan Porth, home to cliff top hot tubs and memorable ocean views. Alternatively, The Headland in Newquay provides a lovely setting to relax and unwind with a dip in the pool or an indulgent massage.
Festivals and events
Padstow’s annual Christmas Festival is the perfect way to kick off the festive season. Usually held at the beginning of December, this popular fishing village comes alive with an array of tastes, smells, sounds and unique gifts. The day is filled with celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations, local produce and a lively Santa fun run. Another big event in Padstow’s calendar, May Day sees the town come alive with flags, flowers, greenery and maypoles.

Fantastic week staying at Lizard in Harlyn Bay and made all the better by the great service from the team at Perfect Stays. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will be rebooking for next year.
”This is the second time we've stayed here and as a family of four, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Rain or shine we all still took our boards and went into the sea to hit the waves. The house is really well equipped therefore we have no complaints at all. Excellent service indeed.
”This was our second year in a row holidaying in Cornwall with the help of the wonderful team at Perfect Stays. I can't recommend their professional, personable and kind service enough. Their properties are immaculate, well designed and beautifully contemporary. We look forward to exploring new corners of Cornwall every year, and it's a joy to stay in one of their properties every time.
”The Perfect Stays team are professional and very knowledgeable regarding their property portfolio in Cornwall. They are extremely polite, enthusiastic and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. They are full of advice and are able to provide inspiration and ideas for your holiday, suggesting things to see and do in the area and recommendations for excellent restaurants. We have recently returned from our third holiday in Cornwall with them and we have already booked to return to another property next September. We can't wait.
”One of the best holidays I have had in a long time! The accommodation was perfect, spotless, very modern and had everything you'd need and more. The location was ideal and just a couple of minutes' walk to the beach, while everything else was just a five minute drive away. We loved it and can't wait to book again next year!
”We celebrated my 60th birthday here with friends from abroad. Not a single thing was overlooked in ensuring a truly wonderful stay. The location is perfect for exploring the Seven Bays. From cooking at home to days out, we couldn't fault anything. Welcome hospitality and attention to detail is second to none, as is the communication from Perfect Stays, who are genuinely interested in providing just that. Many thanks for providing a great escape!
”Booking with Perfect Stays was brilliant. The team were helpful, attentive and friendly. The property, Lizard in Harlyn Bay, was perfect and bigger than the pictures portrayed! It was a beautiful property with everything you could need for a comfortable stay and in such a fantastic location. I will certainly be using the services of Perfect Stays again.
”We have just returned from Lizard holiday home, and we had an amazing week. The property has everything you could want, and luxury has not been scrimped on. The location is perfect with Harlyn Bay within touching distance. We will definitely be returning.
”We cannot fault our stay at Lizard. The house is very well equiped and stylishly fitted with comfortable furniture. The wrap around courtyard enabled us to enjoy the good weather. The location is perfect. The sea is just across the road and I think Harlyn Bay was the nicest of all the bays we visited. Great walks along the cliff tops too.
”We loved our stay, the property and location.
”We had a wonderful two weeks at Lizard, a lovely house in a perfect location. It was comfortable, convenient, and we very much enjoyed staying there.
”Fabulous house, fabulous location. I went with my daughter and our two-year-old cockapoo just after Christmas for a week stay. Absolutely everything had been thought about in this property. It felt like a home not a holiday rental. There is absolutely nothing wrong to report. The location is second to none, about one minute and you are on Harlyn Beach. Each day we walked there first and then had breakfast and went off to other beaches - none of which was further than about 30 minutes drive - so many gorgeous beaches nearby. I will be booking up for another visit very soon. Highly recommend.
”We had a fantastic week at Hideaways staying at Lizard. Dealing with Perfect Stays was a pleasure from the very first call. They were so friendly and easy to deal with and the house exceeded our expectations. Every last detail had been thought of! We can't wait to come back!
”Perfect Stays does not compromise on quality, on all levels of their service. The customer care was excellent, the Lizard home exceeded our wildest expectations. Location was perfect. Thank you for the perfect holiday. We will be back!!.
”We booked in Summer 2020 for a week's stay in Lizard for Easter 2021. Sadly the booking was for the week before lockdown restrictions are lifted. I am very impressed though with how the team at Perfect Stays have handled this situation. We have been updated regularly and been left in no doubt that our stay/deposit was safe. Contact has been clear, precise and professional. We have now had a refund as we could not arrange the dates to stay again, but we are definitely going to book for next year.

Dog Rules
We understand that some holidays aren’t complete without a four-legged friend by your side. Here are a few reminders for bringing your dogs with you to Lizard:
- Dogs staying at the property must be over 12 months old.
- To keep the bedrooms and furniture fur-free and to avoid any damage, we ask that dogs are kept out/off these areas and sleep in their own beds/crates in the utility room overnight.
- Please make sure to pick up any dog mess from all outside areas before you leave, and place it in the rubbish bins provided.
- We understand that accidents happen, so if your dog has a slip-up on a carpeted area, please let the housekeeping team know so they can arrange a professional clean (charges may apply).
- Please make sure dogs are clean and dry on your return to the property to avoid muddy paw prints inside. It’s best you bring dog towels with you as the house towels aren’t suitable to dry dogs with.
- For safety reasons, we ask that dogs aren’t left unattended at the property, or in your car, at any time during your stay. Looking for a dog sitter? Perfect Stays can organise one for you as part of our inclusive concierge service (subject to availability).
