Food scene

Under new ownership this year, I’ve not yet tried it though, open for breakfast and lunch, no booking required. Turn right out of the drive, and then left on the finer which leads down to the Cove, less than 5 mins walk.

Beautiful location at the Lizard, good food, the brownie dessert is the best I’ve ever had! Combine with a visit to Kynance Cove. The picture is taken from our table in the garden.

A traditional pub and food, very popular. Although it is within walking distance, (you will pass it on your way in) there are no pavements, but there is plenty of parking at the back of the pub. You could always walk back through Mexico Lane and across the Towans.

The road from St Ives over to Zennor Is a scenic drive, the pub is worth stopping at for lunch. Go into the church to see carving of the mermaid on the pew and read about the legend of this mermaid. Maybe treat yourself to a Moo Maid Ice Cream.

Nothing fancy, but good burgers and fab views, only minutes from the house. Turn left out of drive, walk 2 mins and you can’t miss it.

This is a personal favourite. Proper traditional vanilla ice cream. I always have a tub with clotted cream and a flake. When we were kids we would see who could make their tub last the longest - the best! Newlyn is not far from St Michael’s Mount and on the way to Porthcurno. There are also some good fish shops here for freshly caught fish.

There is a boat, so the tides won’t stop you getting there or back. There is a causeway to walk across at low tide. You can eat on the Mount or try the Godolphin for lunch.

If you want a circular walk on the south coast the views are beautiful looking out over the river, it is quite steep on places, but you can choose how much you want to do. Combine with a visit to the Pandora for a drink and something to eat (16 mins by car). Or go over to St Mawes, (Hotel Tresanton), it is also very picturesque (34 mins by car), this is right beside the ferry crossing which is very picturesque.

Beaches - Dogs and Beach Safety

Beach Safety - please always use a lifeguarded section of the beach. There are summertime restrictions for dogs on many beaches, you can take your dog on the beach past the Cove to the right of the house. There is a good beach guide for info on beaches https://www.cornwall-beaches.co.uk/ covers best beaches, beach safety and dogs allowed. Many beaches start lifeguard cover from early May but stop lifeguard cover at the end of September, this page gives the dates for cover for all beaches and times covered. https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/parks-leisure-and-culture/beaches-in-cornwall/beach-safety

Walking the Cliff Paths

Always keep your dog on a lead when you walking near the cliffs, they have been know to chase the seagulls and go over the edge.

If you get in difficulty on the coast

If you are in any danger or difficulty on the coast, either in the sea or the coast path/cliffs, call the Coastguard. Ring 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
