Top House

The Top House is situated in Lizard Village, Helston, Cornwall TR12 7NQ, right at the centre of the community and just moments from the South West Coast Path. Its position as the southernmost pub in the UK gives it a natural draw for visitors exploring the peninsula. The pub is closely connected to the local RNLI community, regularly supporting events throughout the year and reinforcing its role as a true village hub. Just 10 minutes from Kynance Cove, one of Cornwall’s most photographed beaches, and 15 minutes from Helston, the Top House benefits from strong seasonal tourism while remaining rooted in a tight-knit local community. A large village green and public parking area sit directly in front of the pub, making access easy for guests.

Internally, the Top House is a traditional inn with strong character, offering approximately 80 covers across three distinct areas: a restaurant/breakfast room, central bar and a cosy rear snug leading to the courtyard. The interior features nautical touches and real fires, creating a warm, inviting setting, particularly in the quieter months. The commercial kitchen is well equipped, including a walk-in fridge, supporting a consistent, food-led offer with a focus on fresh, local produce.

The business also includes eight en-suite letting rooms, two with coastal views, all accessed via a private entrance for guest convenience.

The Top House boasts excellent external trading space, with approximately 80 covers split between the front and rear of the property. To the front, a well-presented seating area with bench tables sits alongside the village green, bordered by flower troughs and offering a vibrant, social setting. To the rear, a more intimate courtyard captures the afternoon sun, providing a relaxed space for guests to unwind into the evening. A significant advantage is the large public car park on the village green, offering space for approximately 60+ vehicles, which supports both dining and accommodation trade.

The private accommodation is spacious and well-presented, comprising 4 -5 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, full bathroom and separate WC. Recently renovated to a high standard, it provides comfortable and practical living space for a Business Partner.
