Col Ros – A Cliffside Eco-Retreat with Panoramic Views Over Polurrian Cove

Perched on the dramatic cliffs of the Lizard Peninsula, Col Ros is a truly special hideaway where the sea meets the sky in a symphony of blue. Overlooking the sparkling waters of Polurrian Cove, this unique coastal home offers space, comfort, and unforgettable views—an ideal retreat for families and groups of friends eager to reconnect with nature and each other in the wild heart of Cornwall.

Surrounded by landscaped gardens and set at the end of a quiet single-track lane, Col Ros blends tranquillity and natural beauty with effortless comfort. Designed to make the most of its cliff-top location, the house captures sea views from nearly every room, including the open-plan kitchen and dining space, the relaxed sitting room, and each of the four (plus one) thoughtfully designed bedrooms.

Step into the laid-back rhythm of coastal life. The bright and spacious kitchen is the heart of the home, where local ingredients inspire slow-cooked meals and long, lingering conversations around the dining table. Move into the sunlit lounge, where oversized windows frame ever-changing ocean views. In winter, curl up by the fire and watch the waves crash along the rocks. In warmer months, open the sunroom doors and drift outside onto the terrace and garden.

The home’s layout ensures plenty of space for everyone. Two bedrooms and a family bathroom are located on the ground floor, along with a practical utility and boot room—perfect for sandy shoes and beach gear. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer spectacular sea and countryside views, dressed with the finest linens and each decorated with its own unique style. A modern family shower room completes the upper floor.

The gardens at Col Ros are a true extension of the living space: a large stone terrace invites you to dine al fresco while soaking in panoramic views over the rugged coast, while Cornish palms and native plants add charm and privacy. Children and dogs can roam safely thanks to natural hedged boundaries, and at the garden’s edge, a private gate leads you directly to the coastal path.

In just 8 minutes on foot, you'll reach Polurrian Cove, a secluded sandy beach with crystal-clear waters, accessible only via footpaths—keeping it blissfully quiet even in summer. From here, explore the dramatic coastline of The Lizard Peninsula, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

From Col Ros, some of Cornwall’s most breathtaking locations are within easy reach. Explore the turquoise waters of Kynance Cove, the golden sands of Poldhu Beach, or the picturesque fishing village of Mullion. Head to Lizard Village, the southernmost point of the British mainland, and discover the timeless charm of Coverack and Cadgwith.

Outdoor lovers will be spoilt for choice. Snorkel with seals, kayak the inlets of the Helford River, or try your hand at diving among historic shipwrecks. For land-based adventures, the South West Coast Path offers miles of scenic walking trails.

Whether you spend your days beachcombing, stargazing from the terrace, or enjoying slow meals with loved ones, Col Ros invites you to tailor your holiday to your own pace.

A peaceful retreat where the sea sets the rhythm, Col Ros is your gateway to the wild and wonderful soul of Cornwall.
