Lamorna

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. 

To read about the history of the area, check out our blog on West Penwith - Through the ages.

Lamorna Cove

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.

Drink and dine

You won't be without places to eat when you enjoy a self catering holiday in Lamorna. The nearby Cove Restaurant serves a delicious, seasonal menu while the Lamorna Wink provides a refreshing mid-afternoon beverage! Drive a few minutes to the nearby village of Mousehole and dine out at the Ship Inn or 2 Fore Street, a bistro-style restaurant on the harbour front. Find out more about Eating out in Mousehole >

Things to do near Lamorna

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.

Walks

Lamorna is the perfect place to enjoy the stunning scenery that the West Cornwall offers. With coastal paths to the east and west, and other inland walks to traditional Cornish villages, ramblers will be in their element. Visit the ancient celtic site of the Merry Maiden stone circle on route to Porthcurno or make the famous 'Good Friday' walk to the quaint fishing village of Mousehole. Read more on our blog on Mousehole Walks.

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’!

Tom Bawcock's Eve, Mousehole

The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall.  The story goes that it was just before Christmas; there had been no fish for weeks, the boats couldn’t get out into the raging storm, the village was starving. One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village. 

Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.

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

Jul 2019

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.

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.

May 2019

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

May 2019

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.

May 2019

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.

May 2019

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.

Nov 2018

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.

Apr 2018

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.

Apr 2018

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

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

Sep 2015

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

Jun 2015

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.

May 2015

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.

Apr 2015

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

Dec 2014

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.
