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.
The Cury area
Cury is a friendly, rural village approximately 1.5 miles from Poldhu Cove, a stunning sandy cove (lifeguards present in season) with parking, wc and cafe facilities. There is a weekly Farmer's Market in Cury Village Hall (Thursday mornings).
There are many spectacular beaches nearby, including Kynance Cove, Kennack Sands, Church Cove, Cadgwith Cove and Loe Bar.
Within 4 miles are the heathlands of Goonhilly Downs, the beautiful Helford River (dinghy hire) and Helston (small market town with indoor swimming pool, boating lake, popular Flambards 'theme park' and 'Furry Dance' festival in May). Lizard Point (lighthouse) and famous Kynance Cove, 6 miles. Riding stables nearby.
Mullion is approximately 2 miles from Cury, it is a good-sized and very popular village (shops, fine church, pubs, restaurants), 3/4 mile from a superb coast of cliffs and sandy coves; the nearest on foot, 3/4 mile, by car, 1 mile. Golf course with splendid views. Kynance Cove (very beautiful with towers of multi-coloured rock) and the Lizard Point (lighthouse), 7 miles. Helston , about 8 miles, is a popular market town, famous for its Flora Day celebrations.

Lovely light and airy bungalow, in a quiet position with a large enclosed garden. It is very spacious and clean, well equipped with everything to make your stay as comfortable and relaxed as possible. The village of Cury is a very good location to stay whilst exploring the rest of west Cornwall. So many wonderful coves and villages to visit. We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return. Response: We're very pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Meadowside, look forward to seeing you again next year. |

Good base to explore this part of Cornwall. October was fabulous, as the sea temperature was good for bodyboarding and there are no dog bans on the beaches, which we had almost to ourselves! Response: Glad to hear that you had a lovely holiday, your dogs looked very much at home in the photo you sent us! |

This was a last minute booking to take the opportunity to explore Cornwall before it got packed with summer tourist's. The location is great for that being just a few minutes drive from the main Helston to Lizard road. The bungalow is light and airy with all the bits and bods needed for a touring base. There is a stunning bay heading south from Curry Cross called Kynance Cove which is well worth a visit on a nice day. It took a while to get the hot water/ch sorted out but apart from that the bungalow met all our expectations. Response: We're very pleased that you enjoyed your stay, we hope to welcome you back again. |
