Comfortable room. Easy walk to everything we wanted to see. Host Mary was exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful (gluten free food, booking taxi etc.). We are a retired couple walking the South West Coast Path and would stay here again.

Perfect - the Housel room (the rooms has names and not numbers) is very nice, and the Lizard town itself is stunning and a must visit if you are in the area.

Well worth a stay
The ideal place to stay due to it's proximity to some very beautiful beaches. The stay was made by the really friendly and likeable staff. The room was clean but a bit tired and the shower cubicle needed a revamp. All in all, I would definitely stay again mainly due to the staff. I would prefer to have mugs for my morning cuppa as the cups provided were tiny!
