Where is the hotel?
The hotel is perched on the scenic cliff known as Lizard Point, the southernmost point of the UK.
Not only is there a free car park available at the hotel, but there is also parking in Lizard Village and at Lizard Point to venture closer to the historic coastal paths.
The nearest station is Redruth but still requires a 45-minute car journey to get here.
What is the hotel like?
As a family-run hotel, the traditional 1980s, historic décor has been combined with a gradual, more modernised revamp.
The hotel's boutique nature is reflected in its limited 23 rooms all offering incredible views.
What is there to do at the hotel?
You can stroll to Kynance Cove renowned for its white sand and reddish-green serpentine rock, and nearby walking trails.
Take a tour around the working Lizard Lighthouse in Spring or Summer for a glance at 1752 history.
For those wanting a pre-lunch stroll, a 75-minute walk or a quick 5-minute drive are great pubs in Cadgwith – a Cornish fishing village.
What is there to eat and drink at the hotel?
Guests can enjoy fresh food from locally sourced ingredients – especially the monkfish scampi – in the Michelin-recommended Fallowfields restaurant or at The Terrace.
We dined at The Terrace, which overlooks the Atlantic and is open for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.
