Home description
Pebbles is a traditional fisherman's semi-detached cottage situated in the heart of the Cadgwith Cove. Sunny and south-facing, the whitewashed cottage provides very comfortable accommodation and is full of character. Pebbles has its own patio and sheltered garden with sea glimpes, which makes a lovely private suntrap and provides ample seating to enjoy alfresco meals. It is only a few yards away from the beach where you can bathe or watch the daily activities of the local fishermen, and central to all the amenities of the cove.
You can enjoy freshly caught fish and crab in the Old Cellars Restaurant or in the Cadgwith Cove Inn, the local pub and social hub of the village. The Inn is the venue for a thriving Folk Club on Tuesday nights and traditional Cornish singing every Friday. In high season, seafood barbecues, fishing competitions, gig racing, a regatta and a folk music day are social highlights.

The West Country / Cornwall region
Cornwall enjoys an excellent climate with very mild winters and summers that are almost Mediterranean in nature. This climate has in turn helped with the growth and development of a wealth of botanical gardens in Cornwall that have become renown worldwide.
Located at the southernmost end of the British Isle, in the county of Cornwall, the Lizard Peninsula is bordered on three sides by the sea, and the Helford River to the north. The name the Lizard is believed by some to come from the Cornish word “lezou” meaning headland. The National Trust owns a major proportion of the peninsula, and this helps in keeping it unspoilt and unchanged. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Lizard Peninsula has some of the most spectacular scenery in Cornwall.
There are many small coves, once used by smugglers to land their kegs of French Brandywine, and beaches to be found at the Lizard, and the South-West coastal path is very popular with walkers. When people come to the Lizard they are inspired by the scenery to write, take photographs and paint. Many people go there just to escape the hustle and bustle of their daily lives.
The Peninsula has a maritime past and many shipwrecks can be seen all along the coastline. From old barquentines and schooners, to steamships from the late twentieth century, even fishing vessels that capsized near the coastline, and old submarines rusting in the waves, are all just a part of the scenery.
Cadgwith area
Cadgwith is a picturesque fishing village with whitewashed thatched cottages lining the sides of the valley and a small fleet of colourful fishing boats winched up on the shingle beach. The fact that the boats are still in use and the local pub (The Cadgwith Cove Inn) is renown for it's singing of Cornish songs of a Friday evening is testament to the traditional character of this village still being alive and well. The village also has a thriving gig club. Cadgwith featured in the film 'Ladies in Lavender'.
The cove has two beaches - the fishing beach where you can watch the daily activities of the fishermen. A small rocky outcrop called the Todden separates this from the adjacent (swimming) beach

Guestbook for Pebbles
'We had a fantastic time in Cadgwith and Pebbles Cottage, you couldn't get more into the heart of the village than at Pebbles'. Mr W-D, Jersey - Sept 2009
'We enjoyed the stay at Pebbles very much. Our kids were intrigued by the mistery that there really seemed to be a secret passway in the house (inside the walls between living room and the parlour, on both sides of the walk-through approx 10sqft), so they easily believed we lived in an old smuggler cottage that had an underground tunnel to the sea ;-)
Cadgwith was beautiful and we enjoyed the cliff paths, the beaches in Kynance Cove & Kennack Sands and the wonderful nature. We were positively surprised about the high standard of furniture and equipment in the cottage. It was very cosy and comfortable.' Mr L, Finland -A ugust 2009
'We have stayed in Pebbles twice now, both times we have really enjoyed ourselves. We found the level of accommodation very satisfactory and comfortable, we have already recommended it to friends and family and are booking for next year as we love staying in the cove. It is lovely to be in stumbling distance to the pub and the cellars restaurant'. Mrs R, July 2009
'A cosy and comfortable cottage' Mr and Mrs W, Barnet - July 2007
'We love Cadgwith, our children spent their days on the beach exploring rock pools and paddling' Mr and Mrs I, Dorchester - August 2007
'Spectacular scenery, wonderful walks and freshly caught seafood - we had a wonderful time' Mr C, Cheltenham - May 2008
'We had a great time and would love to book up same time next year' Mrs G, Barnet - April 2009
