Fantastically clean and comfortable cottage with excellent views, just like the details on website. Easy access to West Cornwall, very quiet and the only drawback is the steep narrow track from main road up to the cottage, although it does get easier and it wouldn’t put us off returning !

July 2021

Fantastic property in a great location. Felt very isolated (though it is semi-detached you don’t notice) but easy access to all of the West Cornwall hotspots. Terrific for the dog with a great footpath for walks. The garden isn’t enclosed but is large and as it is at the end of a lane there is no traffic to worry about. The setting is superb and the views (when the mist/low cloud lifted) we’re fantastic.

Holidays in Lamorna

Lamorna Cove is a beautiful and secluded area of Cornwall sat between the pretty harbour town of Mousehole and the glorious Porthcurno beach. You can walk the coastal path to both of these locations, or if you’re feeling adventurous, walk all the way to Land’s End! Lamorna Cove is the perfect base to enjoy a self catering holiday and to explore the further reaches of West Cornwall.

The cliffs around Lamorna Cove are beautiful. The cove has been known for fishing and quarrying in the past. It was also a haunt for artists such as 'Lamorna Birch', particularly in the 1930s. The Cove also has an arts festival and a flourishing village hall, in which you might see international performers from time to time on the Carn to Cove Rural Touring Circuit. The cove lies at the end of a woodland valley, as does St. Loy, a little further south along the coast.

Top tip

Walk the coast path from Lamorna to Mousehole for some truly breathtaking views!

Things to do at Lamorna

When the tide is out, Lamorna Cove sports a small sandy beach, but its rocky nature means the area is better known for diving and snorkelling. A nearby beach café serves hot and cold snacks or park up and enjoy an ice cream while looking out to sea. In the summer season you can hire motorboats and kayaks or if you’d rather something less active, the blue waters are perfect for bathing. If a day at the beach is your thing, check out our guide to Sandy beaches in West Cornwall for other beaches in the area which are well worth visiting.

With the harbour town of Penzance just a short drive away, there's plenty to keep you entertained on a self catering holiday in Lamorna. For ideas on what to do during your stay with us, check out our blog post on Days out around Penzance.

A trip to the stunning tidal island of St Michaels Mount is a must if you're in the area.

A true story...

A lot of famous people holiday in the hills and coves of Cornwall. In the 1970s, three locals (an out of work actor, a DJ, and a young writer) decided to start a hospital radio station, named Duchy Hospital Radio. They set up in a caravan in a car park behind West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance. The actor and writer were particularly interested in spoken word programmes and secured an Uher, the must-have portable reel to reel audio tech of the day. The actor discovered that a famous person was getting away from it all at Lamorna Cove Hotel.  An interview with George Harrison would get Duchy Hospital Radio noticed! The famous Beatle was only too pleased to help and invited them to join him at the hotel for a cream tea. For an hour or more the actor and writer chatted amiably to George about being famous, hiding away in Cornwall, what the other Beatles were like, and the price of tea and chips. Back in the Duchy Radio caravan, the novice reporters soon discovered that in the excitement of meeting their hero, the actor had forgotten to press ‘Record’!

Absolutely beautiful cottage. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. Wonderful views and a lovely big garden which our dog loved. We had a lovely week staying there. Only slight disadvantage is the narrow single track lane to the cottage but apart from that we couldn't fault it.

A very pleasant cottage in a beautiful, quiet position up a rough single track (the ruts in the track are worse than last year so beware if you have a previous vehicle). Yes, somewhere to escape from normality. However, the cottage needs attention, especially the cleanliness.

Thank you for your review. We were sorry to see that upon returning to The Haven you found the level of cleanliness wasn't to its usual high standard. Since we received your feedback the housekeeping team carried out a deep clean and the property has had some decoration work carried out. Whilst the property is located at the bottom of an unmade lane, which may prove tricky for some cars, we hope that you will agree that it is worth it once you get there, as the property is in such a fantastic, peaceful location. We completely agree; it is a great 'escape from normality'. We do hope that we will get the chance to welcome you back to Cornwall again soon. Ben, Customer Services

The Haven is a very comfortable and cosy cottage which was extremely clean. The garden is lovely, very peaceful and we spent some enjoyable evenings sat outside on the patio admiring the views with the sea in the distance. The cream tea awaiting us on our arrival was much appreciated and if we return to that part of Cornwall we would certainly not hesitate to stay there again.

Property absolutely beautiful, we very much enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable. All as per description except the wifi which will barely load a page. Impossible to speak to aspects holidays if you need help though so a very poor customer service experience unfortunately.

Reply from Aspects Holidays

We were sorry to hear that you had issues with the wifi. The team have since raised this issue with the owner and Openreach have now resolved the wifi problem. We also wanted to apologise for the communication issues when you contacted us about an item that you had left in the property. A member of the team had replied to your email but unfortunately, we have been having issues with our email provider which has caused a high number of emails going to spam folders and a lot of very frustrated customers who have been left thinking that we have not responded to queries, when we have. This is absolutely not the 'norm' for us; we pride ourselves on delivering a great level of customer service and we are working on moving over to a new provider. I am aware that one of my colleagues got in touch to discuss this with you when we received this feedback and I do hope that we have been able to restore your faith in our customer service standards with the service that you have received since. Tanya, Customer Services

a lovely peaceful area,ideal for walking even in winter,the haven is really warm and cosy!

Had the most wonderful stay here. Beautiful,peaceful location. Will definitely be returning. The cottage had all that was needed and more. Cream tea a lovely touch. Perfect place/location to truly relax. Garden amazing. PERFECT in every way!!!!

This place is magic. The property name the Haven is a perfect description. I would stay here again in a heart beat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Haven. It has excellent views across the countryside and is in a very peaceful location. The cottage was immaculately clean with a cream tea awaiting us as a welcome gift. Highly recommended. The only caveat is that owners of cars with limited ground clearance should be aware that the access track to the property is in poor condition and quite uneven in places.

Reply from Aspects Holidays

Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback and your helpful note on the track to the property. Unmade tracks like this can change quite quickly and dramatically after lots of rain, so thanks to your comment, we have now added a note to the website description stating, please also note that due to the rural nature of the property the access track is a little rough in places. We hope that this will allow those interested in booking this property, to be fully informed of this before making the journey down here. Thanks again, and we hope to see you back here soon. Tanya, Customer Services

We had a wonderful stay at The Haven. The cottage was clean and welcoming with milk and scones on arrival, a lovely touch. The large garden is beautifully kept, with an array of flowers to admire. Our dog loved running and playing in it.

Beautiful cottage and stunning gardens and outlook. Can’t be beaten for peace and quiet and quality. The Haven is heaven on earth!

A light & airy cottage in a spectacular position sitting in a hillside garden surrounded by beautiful countryside. The cottage was very clean & comfortable with large bedrooms.We felt we had escaped reality, especially being able to walk along tracks & footpaths directly from the cottage through fields full of wild flowers.

A beautiful stay once again. Complete luxury with stunning views; we would be happy living here. A must for a relaxing, peaceful stay. The lovely cream tea was such a lovely touch. Thank you again for a perfect stay.

This cottage has to be the nicest one we’ve ever stayed in. The sea and country views were beyond beautiful. We were very reluctant to leave as we had such a lovely time here and can’t wait to visit again. The owners left us a cream tea and milk which was so lovely and very tasty. Every detail had been thought of. A perfect, relaxing break.

Any of the positive comments already made.

Good access to lots of lovely places eg Minack theatre, Sennen Cove, and further afield - Porthleven, St Ives, Lizard peninsular.

The Haven was the perfect base for our Cornish getaway. We loved the view and the cosy gas burner (and so did our dog!). The location of the cottage is perfect, it had a lovely remote feel whilst being close to amenities and lots of places to explore. The owners have really thought of everything, and we were even greeted with a cream tea and bottle of wine which was a lovely touch.

Unfortunately not applicable since the owners we understand are selling up very soon.

Super Cottage, fantastic location.

Lovely cottage, beautiful location,

A very comfortable house with a lots of charm in a beautiful Setting. We spent a wonderful time there.

A fantastic cottage in a lovely tranquil setting. If we ever moved to Cornwall The Haven would definitely fit the bill of the type of house we would like to buy.

the haven is just as advertised. a beautiful cottage in a peaceful location with excellent secluded large garden. the cottage has everything inside you could need and is very comfortable. the havens location also means it is central to lands end, Penzance, St Ives & Marazion and there are many paths from the cottage to explore We will definitely be back in the future

Ideal. We are reluctant to leave.

The welcome pack was kind and appreciated. We totally enjoyed our stay in this delightful house. A lot of thought by the owners had put in to provide a relaxing and comfortable holiday. Thank you

A spacious, comfortable and quiet get-away in idyllic rural surroundings and gorgeous views of the coast, and with wifi and mobile phone reception, which can be rare around Lamorna. This is second visit and we hope to return

The Haven, Lamorna is beautiful, peaceful & well- equipped- was accurately described on the website. Amazing sights nearby & the Bridleway system around here are really interesting.

Had a fabulous week. The weather was excellent. But even if it had not been the cottage was an excellent place to relax and just take in the view and de-stress. Would definitely recommend this as a wonderful holiday place for complete relaxation and re charging your batteries. It is also easy to get to places on both North and South Coasts of Cornwall. Really want to come back soon to resume our adventure in Cornwall.

Please note this cottage is lovely but it is semi detached.

Reply from Aspects Holidays

Thank you for taking the time to send in your comments. Reading through our description; you are quite right in highlighting that it has not been clearly stated that this property is semi-detached. We have now amended our description to highlight that it is. Although semi-detached, it is down a private track for just these 2 properties and set in a very peaceful location, with amazing scenery, so do not be deterred by this. Tanya, Customer Services.
