The best area to stay in Cadgwith is within the village itself, particularly around the Cove.Cadgwith Cove is the heart of this traditional fishing village. It's a small, picturesque area where colourful fishing boats are pulled up onto the shingle beach. The main activity revolves around the daily catch and the small cluster of buildings that include the Cadgwith Cove Inn and a few local shops. The narrow lanes wind down to the water's edge, offering easy access to the working harbour.Couples looking for a tranquil escape will find the Cove perfect. It offers a truly authentic Cornish experience, with the gentle sounds of the sea and the opportunity to watch the fishermen at work. There are lovely coastal walks directly from the Cove, and it's an ideal base for exploring the Lizard Peninsula's natural beauty.For those who prefer a slightly elevated position with views over the village and sea, there are some excellent holiday cottages and guesthouses on the slopes just above the Cove.

The days are long, and the temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 12°C to 18°C. This period is ideal for couples who enjoy exploring the South West Coast Path, with its stunning views of the Lizard Peninsula, or simply relaxing by the harbour.Early autumn offers similar advantages with comfortable temperatures, usually between 10°C and 16°C, and fewer visitors after the main summer holidays.
