  • Quiet family-run site 15 minutes' walk from Coverack
  • A 15-minute drive to Cadgwith or 25 minutes to Kynance Cove
  • Simple, spacious and level pitches; dogs welcome
The lovely Lizard Peninsula National Landscape beckons for guests at Specky Wood, a quiet and well-kept site within the grounds of a family home close to Coverack. This is a gorgeous part of the world, with lots of wild scenery, sandy beaches and craggy coastline to explore, and plenty of activities in the form of watersports, walks and bike rides. It’s a 15-minute walk from the site to the centre of Coverack for a village store, a café, a pub and a restaurant. There’s also a watersports centre here, and you can pick up the South West Coast Path for a good hike along the shoreline. That little lot may well keep you busy for a while, but there’s plenty more to explore nearby if you’ve got time – the beaches of Kennack Sands and Kynance Cove are rightly popular, as are fishing villages like Mullion and Cadgwith. Heading up towards Helston (20 minutes’ drive) also gives you the option of different days out like visits to Trebah Garden or the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. The setup back on site is a simple one – the dog-friendly pitches are spacious, level and well kept but it’s worth noting that there are no toilets or showers on site.

What customers say

Peaceful, tidy site with roomy, private spots. Hosts are lovely & helpful (one got a free awning!). Great location near Coverack village. Some found loos/showers pricey, others missed dishwashing. A few mentioned the hilly walk back from the village.

Liked Everything! We had the most amazing stay here at Specky Wood, so much so we actually extended our stay by 2 nights. The staff are wonderful and very attentive. We came from Newcastle so quite a journey but certainly one we can’t wait to do again. Coverack is a beautiful village and definitely one to visit. We can’t wait to visit again next year. Thanks so much for an amazing holiday!

Local attractions

No doubt you’ll start your Cornwall break by wandering down to Coverack (15 minutes’ walk), where you can take a look at the boats bobbing in the harbour or launch your own adventures from the watersports centre, which has paddleboarding, kayaking and windsurfing on the menu. The village is also at the centre of a couple of circular walks as well as being on the South West Coast Path for seaside strolls (such as the stretch to Kennack Sands, six miles away). Elsewhere along the coast, you may like to cycle or drive to hotspots like the tiny fishing village of Cadgwith (15 minutes’ drive), pretty Kynance Cove (25 minutes) or Mullion (20 minutes), the largest village on the Lizard Peninsula. It’s also worth heading down to Lizard Point (25 minutes), so you can say you’ve stood at the southernmost point of mainland Britain. There are lots of little hidden corners to discover around the peninsula too, but if you fancy a change of scenery, perhaps you’d like to take a river cruise from Helford (20 minutes), meet the residents of the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (15 minutes) or stroll through subtropical Trebah Garden (35 minutes).
