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.

Another lovely return stay at Whelk Cottage – thank you! The beds are even more comfy than we remember! Weather was hit and miss for us this time but places we always love to visit are St Ives, Marazion beach and Lizard Point. We saw seals at the point and enjoyed Wavecrest café, which has lovely food and great views. We even saw the huge orange super moon come up, which was amazing. Thanks for a lovely stay again.

What a beautiful cottage and a lovely location. We have had amazing weather – no waterproofs needed at all! We went to Sennen Cove – fantastic beach for surfing – and a walk to Land’s End. Kynance Cove is like a tropical beach and the walk along the South West Coast Path to the Lizard is outstanding. Thank you to Cathy and Jerry for a great cottage stay.
