Step out into the beautifully landscaped grounds with a raised lawn sweeping down to the heated swimming pool area offering a great space to relax and unwind with the backdrop of the views to the sea in the distance. The lower garden has a generous garden room set to one side, which opens to a broad lawn which children will adore and explore. This versatile garden room is as cosy in the winter months wrapped in blankets under the stars as it is for quiet summer afternoons, it can even double as an office for those looking to keep in touch with worklife or a tranquil yoga space. In the warmer months, the garden blooms with colours and scent creating the most idyllic holiday oasis. Lazy days are spent flipping from pool-side to the house, down to the beach for an ice-cream and relaxing in the very best Cornish way of life. Heading off the beaten tracks, Polurrian Cove is often a quieter spot away from the summer crowds as it is only accessed via the coast path. Polurrian Cove is a short 5 minute walk away via a country track. If you are new to the natural beauty of The Lizard Peninsula or it has long been a favourite holiday haunt, Laflouder Thatch offers the very best base from which to explore. Wander from your holiday door down to Mullion Cove, a beautiful cove with small harbour and pebble beach. The beach at Poldhu Cove is also moments away and well worth a visit. The Lizard Peninsula is a fabulous unspoilt area of Cornwall and home to Britain’s most Southerly point, as well as many fabulous beaches including Kynance Cove. From cosy cafes to local pubs, you are never far from fine Cornish fare, make sure you try the local cream tea of course. Don your walking boots and head up and over some of the most wonderful sections of the South West Coast Path. The sheltered waters of the Helford River have long been a haven for sailors and watersport aficionados, guests can hire kayaks and explore by water the inlets and creeks. Daphne Du Maurier immortalised one of the Helford River's creeks in her novel 'Frenchman's Creek'.
