Property details

Whelk Cottage has a very cosy feel and provides a good location from which to explore the beautiful Lizard Peninsula. 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 villages of Ruan Minor and Cadgwith (which seem to merge into one) offer walking, swimming, fishing, and just relaxing. Local amenities include a general store, post office and cafe, two churches, the Old Cellars restaurant, and the Cadgwith Cove Inn. There is also a local bus service. The house, with its small sunny garden and comfortable accommodation, means you can have a very relaxing holiday in an excellent location. This refurbished cottage retains many original features including beamed ceilings and wooden flooring.

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.

An enjoyable week at Whelk Cottage. We love the extra touches that make it feel like a second home. Great walks, amazing food. Everybody is so welcoming in this little village.
