The Roost serves as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area, being only a short distance from some of the most charming fishing villages in Cornwall. Adjacent to the cottage is Roskilly’s, where visitors can traverse meadows and ponds, interact with animals, and savor the renowned ice cream.

Venture into the enchanting creeks of the Helford passage, where at St Anthony-in-Meneage, boating excursions can be arranged or indulge in a refreshing bout of wild river swimming.

For a delightful lunch outing, head to Coverack to dine at a local pub overlooking the charming harbor and beautiful beach, which reveals its sandy expanse during low tide and even offers occasional dolphin sightings. A visit to the mesmerizing Kynance Cove with its pristine white sands and azure seas is a must-do for any guest staying on the Lizard Peninsula.
