The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views, peaceful setting, and proximity to the coast path and Coverack village. Some mention the walk or drive into the village can be steep or narrow, but this is a minor point compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Most guests found the cottage very comfortable, especially the main bed and living areas. A few noted the single beds could be improved for comfort, particularly for adults, and mentioned a lack of curtains or blinds in the twin room for cosiness in colder months.

We had a very enjoyable week at the Headland Hideaway. The property was perfect - clean, comfortable and well-equipped. It's an 'upside down' house with the living areas upstairs which allowed for a spectacular view over the bay - and we were very lucky with the mild, sunny and rain-free weather! The location was fine for us, being mobile and happy to walk the 10-15 minutes along the coastal path into Coverack but less mobile visitors might find the short drive into the village a little tricky with its narrow road, tight bends and steep inclines. Coverack is a charming harbour village which we know well having been visiting for well over thirty years. The Lizard is a bit off the beaten visitor track and all the better for that!

The cottage at Headland was a fabulous holiday destination. It was in a quiet area but close to Coverack and had great access to the coastal path. The cottages views were amazing and it had great facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return.
