The Rum House
Description
St Keverne 2.1 miles. Tucked away on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, The Rum House offers a unique holiday experience, perfect for families, friends or couples looking to explore all that Cornwall has to offer. Step inside and immediately be taken aback by this sympathetically converted, beautiful property which boasts vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a stylish use of colour that give the property its charm. The open-plan living space offers everything you need for a self-catering stay, from a modern well-equipped kitchen for cooking up your favourite meals to a dining area and sitting area with a contemporary, flame-effect electric fire and bifold doors to take in the stunning sea views. Curl up on the bespoke furniture and bask in the views, or step outside to the rear garden for alfresco dining on the patio, or to simply relax and unwind with a barbecue dinner. The two en-suite bedrooms provide a space to retreat; a king-size with its own bathroom and a zip/link super-king (can be twin on request) with a shower room, for more flexibility. Venture to the nearby town of St Keverne for a variety of independent shops, galleries, boutiques and tea rooms or to take part in the annual church fete. For those looking to enjoy a day by the sea visit the beautiful Kynance Cove, Cadgwith or Coverack: the Lizard Heritage Coast is a must-see.
With its dramatic cliff-top walks and plenty of secret coves, the Lizard is one of the best places in the country to take in breathtaking views and spot wildlife. The popular towns of Falmouth and Porthleven are also within reach, offering plentiful harbourside restaurants and cafes to choose from. Whether you choose to explore the charming towns, take a coastal walk or simply relax and unwind in this idyllic cottage, The Rum House is the perfect place to call home. Note: Property can be booked with Ref: 1059423, together they can sleep six people.

What guests are saying
We went with our two dogs in late September.
There were draconian instructions about keeping the place clean and dogs not being allowed on furniture, which we tried to respect. The house has no boundaries between it and open countryside with public footpaths, which is nice but dogs get muddy. It would have been really helpful to have had an outside tap with hose to wash them down. Virtually every electronic gadget had a remote, some of which didn't work, and there were more draconian instructions NOT TO PUT ANYTHING ON THE RADIATORS. I enquired about a tumble drier, was told it had broken (presumably because people used it) and hadn't been replaced, but there was a clothes airer we could use but DON'T PUT IT UP AGAINST THE RADIATORS. How about an electric clothes airer or, even better, an outside washing line to take advantage of those coastal breezes. Also, the kitchen was incredibly badly equipped. No sieve. No straining spoons, a bizarre collection of glassware, no cereal bowls (had to eat cereal out of pasta bowls), only two egg cups for a house that sleeps 4. A bath with no actual taps which took 20 minutes to fill (by which time one has gone off the idea)... The best things Alan and Amanda (owners) could do to find out how to improve this house would be actually to live in it with their dogs for a week and see what they can do to improve the level of comfort and hospitality.
Eine tolle Unterkunft mit wundervollem Blick, netten Vermietern und leckeren Willkommensscones.
Das Geschirr in den Schränken könnte ein wenig sauberer sein, und es wäre schön, wenn die Bäder besser geheizt werden könnten.
A beautifully appointed, well maintained holiday cottage.
It was our 3rd stay there, we love it. It's really peaceful and the scenery is amazing. We felt relaxed immediately after arrival. Although open plan, we each had space to watch telly, cook or just sit and gaze at the view. The owner is very friendly and lives nearby in case of any issues, which there weren't. We have booked another two stays, it's that good!
