Property details

With Cadgwith cove, one of the most photographed coves in England, less than a 10 minute stroll, and the National Trust wooded valley at Poltesco only 5 minutes away, this is an ideal spot from which to explore.

The house, with its small sunny garden and comfortable accommodation, means you can have a very relaxing holiday in an excellent location.

Whelk Cottage was perfect as always. Lovely and clean with all the equipment you need for a good holiday – home from home! Weather was very kind to us and we actually spent 2 days on Kennack Sands in the sunshine. We love Whelk Cottage – a good position, very quiet – been here many times and will probably return soon.

What a fantastic time we had in the Lizard and Whelk Cottage! Had beach days at Housel Bay, Kennack Sands and Kynance Cove, which were all spectacular. And swimming in Cadgwith Cove is another must. We did kayaking and rock climbing with Lizard Adventure, which is highly recommended. We went cycling at Penrose around Loe Pool (the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall) which is so beautiful. To cap it all we saw lots of seals (some close up during the kayaking) and even saw a dolphin leap out of the water near Lizard Point! Our third time to the Lizard and we will definitely be back.
