Guests say
Morvoren is a charming and spacious cottage in the heart of Lizard village, offering a comfortable stay with excellent access to local attractions and beautiful coastal walks. Guests consistently praise its location, cosy atmosphere, and well-equipped kitchen. While the property is generally comfortable and well-suited for families or groups, several reviews mention that cleanliness and maintenance could be improved. Overall, Morvoren provides a lovely base for exploring the area, with its peaceful setting and homely feel standing out as highlights.
Multiple guests noted issues such as dog hairs, dust, mould in showers, and leftover rubbish or food, indicating that cleaning standards are below expectations. While some areas were acceptable, a thorough deep clean is needed.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving its central position in Lizard village and easy access to the coast and local amenities. Parking is somewhat limited but did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
Guests found the cottage spacious, with comfortable beds and a cosy lounge. The peaceful environment and homely atmosphere contributed to a relaxing stay.
The cottage is well-equipped with a kitchen, dishwasher, and washer/dryer, but some maintenance issues were noted, such as dirty or broken appliances and a shortage of certain utensils and glasses.
Some guests mentioned a welcome pack with tea bags, though these were not always in perfect condition. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed with every stay.

This well-built (thick walls) house is located near the centre of The Lizard and the south-west coastal path. Parking space outside the house is limited, and there's no no overnight parking on the commons close by (but ok in front of the shops). There's enough space for up to 6 persons, but wardrobes are limited. Dishwasher and washer/dryer are appreciated. The house needs some maintenance (oven very dirty, seal broken; internet cable needs replacement; silicon joints in shower/bathtub very moldy). Housekeeper very helpful and responsive.
