The Old Ration Shop is a newly refurbished cottage for two.

Views are of farmland, cliffs and sea glimpses beyond. The South West coastal path is nearby offering beautiful walks in both directions passing fabulous beaches and overlooking the bluest of seas. The Halzephron Inn (twice best in Cornwall 2001 & 2005) is a short stroll away with it's popular restaurant, as is the newly opened Barefoot Kitchen Cafe and shop situated at the top of the Halzephron Cliffs with panoramic views over Mounts Bay and Fishing Cove.

The Old Ration Shop is arranged over two floors and is attached on one side to the owners cottage. There is a private enclosed Mediterranean style garden.

Lovely cottage, great location

5 of 5
Submitted: October 10, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Immaculate and well equipped holiday cottage in a great location. Ideal for a peaceful relaxing break.
The coastal path is within a few minutes walk from the cottage and we took advantage of this to walk direct from the cottage to both Mullion & Porthleven.
Also right on the dooorstep for all the other walks, fantastic beaches and villages on the Lizard, particularly Kynance Cove & Coverack. Great seafood restaurant at The Lifeboat House, Coverack.
Amanda & Ian are lovely hosts. We loved the cream tea on arrival and the half dozen eggs with brilliant yellow yolks, made fantastic scrambled eggs.
Lovely cottage to come back to at the the end of a day in the fresh Cornish air.
Owner's Response: It was a pleasure to have you to stay at The Old Ration Shop, and thank you for your kind words.

Paradise in Porthleven

5 of 5
Submitted: June 11, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
Perfect hideaway in a peaceful location. Luxuriously decorated cottage that catered for our every need. The hosts provided everything for a comfortable stay, the outdoor space was more than adequate for enjoying a quiet well deserved glass of wine! We only wish we'd stayed long enough to meet the hens! A place to return to again and again.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind words, we're really happy you had an enjoyable stay.

Long Weekend in Gunwalloe

5 of 5
Submitted: February 17, 2011 Stayed: February 2011
We stayed at The Old Ration Shop for a long weekend in February. The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped and has a lovely "beach house" feel with painted wooden floors throughout. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and upstairs the sitting room was cosy. We had our own garden cleverly screened from the owners, with mature olive tree and table and chairs. A wonderful spot for a glass of wine on a summer evening - or even a February evening! Within a 10 minute walk is the local pub which is a great place to sit and watch the sunset, as well as serving good pub grub. Also within 10 minutes walk is the coastal path and a lovely long sandy beach(Fishing Cove) from where you can - as we did - walk to Porthleven for lunch. At the end of the road is Church Cove - another great beach - and a golf course. What more could you want, sun and sand for the girls and golf for the boys!

Amanda and Ian were very welcoming and knowledgable about the area and suggested many walks and places to visit. They were very discreet and most of the time we were never aware of them next door.

Such a shame we were only there for a short time. Will definitely be back for a longer stay in the summer.
