The Lizard Peninsula · Cornwall
A grand country house and four characterful cottages on a tranquil 23-acre estate on the Lizard Peninsula. Heated pool, farm animals, and the beach just a mile down the lane.
A tranquil haven
Nanplough is a working smallholding on the western side of the Lizard — an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty steeped in maritime and smuggling history, and blessed with one of the mildest climates in England.
Our converted holiday homes share the estate with sheep, chickens and horses, and wildflower meadows planted for the bees. Step off the farm and you're on the South West Coast Path — no car needed to find a cove.
Five ways to stay
From a romantic bolthole for two to a granite country house that gathers the whole family under one roof — and the entire estate can be booked for larger get-togethers.
The flagship
A spectacular Victorian country house with six en-suite bedrooms, a show-stopping kitchen with three ovens and a wine cooler, and tiered gardens rolling down to the pool. Made for milestone birthdays, reunions and unforgettable family gatherings.

A delightful romantic retreat for two, with an airy open-plan living space and en-suite double.

Life on the farm
The heated outdoor pool is open from May to the end of September, with loungers, parasols and a changing room — the scene of many a lazy Cornish afternoon. Around it, 23 acres of farmland invite you to wander: say hello to the sheep, chickens and horses, let the kids loose on the climbing frame and swings, or follow the footpaths out into the countryside.
Everything is included — linen, towels, heating, electricity and fast fibre Wi-Fi — so all you need to bring is a swimsuit and an appetite for cream teas.
