The room was basic, simply furnished and clean. The ensuite shower was very good. The proprietor was helpful and my alfresco breakfast from the food shack on the camping field was delicious. Free WiFi was a bonus as poor phone etc signal.

Peaceful location, dog friendly, immaculate room half a mile or so from the coastal path. Owners were so helpful and welcoming, even delivered some delicious chowder to my room which I was definitely in need of after a 19 mile hike!

Welcome to our newly renovated farmhouse on a traditional working farm, set in a peaceful spot just a short walk from the South West Coast Path. We’ve kept its original character while adding all the modern comforts, creating a cosy, welcoming place to relax. Wake up to cows in the fields and chickens and ducks pottering about nearby. Breathe in the fresh country air, wander down to the coast path for stunning sea views, or simply slow down and enjoy the rhythm of farm life. The perfect place to switch off, unwind, and reconnect with nature.
Will Bowman has spent his life farming Jersey cows at Gwavas Jersey Farm, weathering the many changes and challenges that come with modern agriculture. Through it all, the farm has remained at the heart of everything we do—a place shaped by care, resilience, and a deep connection to the land. Our small herd of Jersey cows continues to graze here, at the centre of a way of life rooted in working gently and respectfully with nature. Over time, the farm has evolved alongside us. In the summer months, we welcome guests to our low-impact campsite, and more recently we have opened our B&B. These are a natural extension of everything we believe in—an opportunity to share a slower, more connected way of life, shaped by the changing seasons and the gentle rhythms of the land. We passionately believe in living alongside nature, rather than trying to control it. By keeping our impact light and allowing parts of the land to grow wild, we create space for life to flourish. Butterflies drift through the long grass, birds circle and settle, and wildlife is something we encounter every day—not because it is curated, but because it belongs here just as much as we do. This land is more than where we work—it is what inspires us. Everything we do is guided by a deep-rooted love for Gwavas and a genuine desire to care for it, so that it can continue to thrive and be shared for years to come.
We are situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, perched high on the cliffs between Cadgwith and Lizard village. The house is a short walk from the Southwest coastal path, leading to fantastic walks in either direction. Close by you can find Grade-Ruan Church, which according to local legend was made famous by a Cornish crusader. Kynance, Kennack and Cadgwith Cove are all within walking distance. with other local beaches just a short drive away.
