Bohortha is a truly picturesque village perched upon a hill overlooking the larger resort town of St Mawes and the Peninsular beyond. This is an excellent hideaway to escape the crowds of St Mawes, whilst still being just a skip away from its buzz and social scene. Bohortha has several landmarks of note but its most famous is the stunning and historic St Anthony’s Lighthouse, which should ideally be visited on foot in order to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views over The Lizard and Falmouth’s incredible natural harbour (the third biggest of its kind in the world).

Apart from that, bird watching is the highlight, with regular sightings of a full suite of gulls and other fish divers like herons and cormorants. The self-catering Bohortha cottages listed here are all child friendly and sleep from 4 to 6 people, so are ideal for family holidays. Some of the pet friendly Bohortha cottages listed are just a short walk from the sandy beach and can be booked direct with the owner or property manager online.
