West Cornwall Cottage Holidays

Lamorna

Lamorna is a beautiful fishing village and cove located just four miles south of Penzance. Chaming and quaint, our cornish cottages in Lamorna are the perfect choice for a holiday in Cornwall. Still privately owned, Lamorna Cove is synonymous with the Newlyn School of Art and in particular, Lamorna Birch. Other late nineteenth and early twentieth century artists of the Newlyn School include Alfred Munnings, Laura Knight and Harold Knight. The author Derek Tangye lived in Lamorna where he wrote his famous books "The Minack Chronicles". Whether you are an artist yourself looking for inspiration in the natural beauty of Lamorna, or just seeking a holiday in one of the prettiest areas of West Cornwall, our cottages are guaranteed to delight you and your entire family on your holiday in Lamorna.

Today, the cove attracts visitors from all over the world eager to trace the footsteps of Tangye and his works. Our cottages are the perfect choice for working on your own literary masterpiece, or just relaxing with the ones you love.

Lamorna cove is dominated by the breakwater which was built mainly to export granite from the valley which was used in the construction of the Thames Embankment. There is also a pub in the valley called the Lamorna Wink. The name derives from a smuggling signal (a lamp on and off from the upstairs window), which would signal to smugglers out in the cove that the coast was clear and that there were no revenue men about!

Come stay in one of our cottages in Lamorna, and explore all that this great area has to offer. We have properties available year round, so whether you are looking for an Easter Break, late deal, summer holiday, or to spend Christmas in Cornwall, let us provide you the perfect cottage for your perfect holiday.
